Yes STC171 or EEQ100400 but at the moment no one seems to have it available in Europe.
could you not get it shipped to you from someone

STC171 I believe is the part number

drove my l320 for months with exhaust manifold blow it didn't cause no problems to the head
but it did cause a load of faults with the lamba sensors causing it to over fuel so kept ailing emissions test

is it the manifold it self and not just the gasket given out
have a look on lrcat and get part number and do bit of online pricing so you know how much your looking at

always worth a check mate 👍

I installed refurbished heads and head gaskets a few months ago, so all gaskets were replaced at the time. Originally, before I noticed the rattling cats, I thought this might have been a minor split or something in the exhaust manifold. It does sometimes sound quite like an exhaust blow, but then I can't decide, as I feel like it comes from lower down than that and if it was the manifold then I would hear it louder under the bonnet.

Honestly the closest place I feel like I could point the noise as coming from was the passenger side cat, so now it isn't the cat, I'm not really sure where else to look!

mine had a blow on exhaust manifold on passenger side(mines the l320 4.2 V8 supercharger) and could hear it more behind the wheel than under the bonnet just give the manifold bolts a little torque to make sure they tight enough

Can you give me an idea of where to look for the problem? As I said originally the abs tc lights only came on after putting osf wheel onto grass as coming out of a parking bay, is that just a coincidence?.
Thanks

if you do a live drive test with diagnostic system on the wheel speed sensors
what ever MPH/KPH is showing the sensors should read the same so it doing 20mph the sensors should read 20mph to
hopes it makes sence

spent this afternoon putting exhaust manifold bolts in my L320 4.2 SC sport bloody pig of a job as not much room to get to the front bolts as they behind the alternator

my 4.2 V8 supercharger sport has a ticking sound under load it the exhaust manifold gasket got a leak

fixing the side step trim on my L320 only to find that one of the brackets has corroded fairly bad and will need replacing
old step removed cleaned and had a coat of red oxide paint
and tomorrow will be a coat of black hammerite and reattach trim on with new stainless steel rivets

Now I got a question for the fellas ... what ATF you use in yours? I am not interested in brands, but type. I've replaced mine (partial drain/fill + filter/strainer, this was before I've perfected the method above) when I bought the car (239K km) and then I've done another one at 254K km. I plan the next in another 30K km, if the box holds as much ....
I've used Mobil 320 Dextron III type on both occasions, but now I have learned there are many "varieties" of Dextron III, ranging from C, D, H, J, and so on. Anyone has a clue that is the correct type for our old gearboxes?

I'm going to use a 75W 80 fully synthetic gear box oil in mine not to bothered on the brand as long as it the right oil

I know the diesel ones or prone for turbo failure think your right other gear box to
would you say I'd be best going with gut feeling and just stick to normal service and drop the pan and new filter job

don't know it the engine makes any difference I've got the 4.2 jaguar AJ-V8 lump
with adaptive six-speed ZF 6HP transmission (ZF6HP26) ZF automatic transmission,
might have to do a bit more research 🤔
thanks Richard

hi folks it a way off yet but mot is due on my l320 sport
so would be a service and MOT local garage will do this they do it every year and know thier way around a range rover (owner has a 1965 series llA )
anyway do I go down the route of standard gearbox oil and filter change or should I send it send off for a transmission flush?
I'm more for oil and filter change just wondering has anyone gone down the flush route ?

hoping to get my 4.2 supercharger back on LPG so will give it a look
@Lpgc I did drop you a dm about my lpg
