I'll have both camshafts replaced this month, probably next week. I'll come back with pictures with the old camshafts and a complete list of components that were replaced.

My decision to replace both camshafts was determined by the fact that Land Rover issued 3 releases for both parts, not only for the exhaust camshaft, over a period of 3-4 years, latest release was done in 2010 if I'm not wrong. They know something ...

When you'll make the change, please also take some pictures of the connecting piece/adapter between the camshaft and the HP pump as well as of the pump shaft. The ones I'm talking here: http://www.freel2.com/forum/post158852.html#158852 Thank you! |

Job all completed but this is the other end of the camshaft if that helps.

Isn't it time that this was brought to Landrover somehow?

Thanks for taking the time to post all the information and pictures from the work done its great. The pictures of the fuel pump don't seem to show the kind of wear that the pictures posted earlier by alex pecaru showed to the pump shaft and adapter and they don't appear in the parts list so must have been in good shape. How many kms has your engine covered?

Engine has 100.000 Km. Work took almost two days and it was done by a local auto repair shop. |

Guys, first post here but felt I had to make a comment about this. Not a freelander owner, we have an old td5 disco. I was searching because of a friends 2011 freelander SD4 auto, 35000 miles, which just stopped on them while driving at low speed, dealer has apparently diagnosed broken cam and helpfully offered to replace the engine for £10,000. It seems this is not common on later cars, in fact I haven't seen it reported at all. Anyway I was looking with interest at the photos early on in this post, of the components of the failed cam and pump fittings. It struck me that on the photo of the hardened steel adaptor, that sits between the pump and the cam, there are wear marks on the mounting faces that tell an important story. The marks indicate that the rotational axis of the pump was out of alignment with the axis of the cam, which would clearly induce wear on the faces of the interlocking tabs, but more importantly, it could massively increase the stresses in the end of the cam (and particularly at the higher pressure 2000rpm zone where this car would have been operating) as it could introduce an additional tear out force to the already tensioned cam tabs. Added to the likely free play that would have existed due to the excessive wear it is an almost inevitable failure at some point. In short, if the fuel pump is not correctly aligned with the end of the cam, it is only a matter of time before something breaks. I would be interested to hear your thoughts. |
