Got to agree, you both compliment each other. I used to work in an accident repair workshop and Chris is an outstanding guy, there is nothing he cannot do. His attention to detail and skill in mechanics, bodywork, welding is outstanding. I am glad he is not working for some garage, but working as co-owner. Rob deals with the side of the business that Chris doesnt liike. Batman and ROBin.....

What a brilliant video showing fault finding using first principles of engineering and systematic elimination of the issues to find the root cause of the problem. Old fashioned fettling of crank journals by hand! The final explanation of the failure of the turbo due to a blocked dpf is very concerning, since many of these vehicles are driven on short journeys permanently, leading to blocked dpf’s. I know that JLR have a very big warranty issue with these Diesel engines, but not the very scarce petrol version. Chris is a very knowledgable guy and nothing seems to phase him- respect ✊

@@hedydd2 No its an Ingenium diesel. More than 1.5 million have been made since 2014. Problem with the transverse application up until 2019 was the dpf being a short distance from the engine rather than up close to it as in Jaguar XE and XF for instance. If used for short stop start journeys only with no longer journeys, the dpf cleaning cycle is forced by injecting additional fuel to heat the engine up with resulting oil dilution as the excess goes down the bores. If oil services are not carried out at more frequent intervals, engine wear is the result.

Excellent work guys. Having experience in engines, I'd be fairly confident in saying that you'd be better off stripping, cleaning and re-shelling the engine you have, rather than taking a chance on a second hand unit. My only reservations would be if there's any damage to the bore on the cylinder that had spun the shells from the piston skirt touching, and the integrity of that conrod. The clean up is the biggest thing, because oil ways and galleries can still have lots of bearing material in them, as you were missing two shells. Good luck with the rest of the build. DPFs are the bane of modern diesel engines.
