Great advice - thanks - Faced with the alternatives it could be worth it - Thanks again

I'm certain he ordered that and brought it with him but told me if he fitted it and it wasn't that then it would cost me

Thanks for the advice - I'll need to get hold of someone who knows how to do that but worth the effort

Hi everyone Just joined and never used any forums before so please bear with me. I really am very desperate. I bought a 2000(W) 2.8 V6 galaxy auto about 4 months ago (milage now about 88,000). All was fine (apart from petrol consumption but I expected that) up unitl a week or so ago. Initially, there was a little difficulty in starting the engine in park. I relaised that it might start in neutral and often I took the key out the iginition and started over. Didn't think much about it until the other day. Driving home at no more than about 30 mph the engine just failed. No bangs, crashes or anything dramatic it just appeared to run out of fuel. A friendly mechanic at the local Land Rover dealer that I know thought it might be a number of things including the timing chain. I've had another chap have a look at it today and he also thinks it could be that. (He's an ex-Ford technician and appeared to have the diagnostic software on his lap top) He also mentioned that he felt there was little or no compression. He's not charged me much to tell me this but tells me that to have it taken in to a dealer would be around
