"I have a 2007 Freelander 2 2.2 i have had a valve drop !! is this Cocommon ?" (sic)

Thats the first time Ive seen it mentioned Jules

Likewise, I have been listening and rambling on here for years, first time I have heard of a dropped valve.
There have been a few (very few) with engines trashed by the flaps in the intake manifold breaking free and being ingested by the engine, and the odd one who has dropped a nut that has been taken into the engine with poor results.
Even snapped timing belts are rare, I think because they have a long life and people change them early as a precaution. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Glad to be corrected.

I had forgotten about the first one, the second is in Romanian - you have the advantage there Alex  Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
