Thank you both, i have not tried the facebook pages and the jaguar landrover sites, i will do so now thanks ! Could anyone perhaps tell me how big of a job it is to replace the cambelt on the 2.7 hdi motor that i have ? I have had quotes ranging from 5k to 16k ? (that is sa rands) that would be R270...

i know this is not a 407 forum, but since this forum and great bunch of people here helped me so much with my 406, i thought maybe i should give it a try.... I hope there is someone here with 407 engine experience that could possibly shed some light ? I have finally upgraded my old 1997 406 after ma...

Thanks Steve, that illustration is perfect :) and yes those look like the studs matching in the same area as on mine, thanks... It seems i'm short on tools, i need the right size allen key and i think the stud nut looks like a nr 10, need to go get the allen key and nr 10 socket but with easter week...

Lots of rubber pipes/wiring over the manifold, hope i don't mess up anything going to take it very slow removing this one,i can't make out from the little i've seen through the manifold pipes on how to loosen the starter. i guess the whole mounting it attaches to needs to be removed.

I found it thanks, it seems that it should be very easy to get to if the manifold is removed, is there some precautions i need to take before removing the manifold ? and how do i remove it, i seems to be bolted down by around 6 allen key bolts , and 2 of the bolts seemed to be bolted in reverse... s...

i went down again, still can't see it... mmmmm where could it be hiding ?

When i removed the airbox, i saw no starter motor, anyone know where it is located ?

Ok so looks like the airbox is relatively easy to remove, just unclips sort of and i need to remove one pipe, i tried putting it in gear and rocking the car, the clicking noise returned after i rocked the car in gear so that i guess tells me it is the starter that is the problem, i wonder if it woul...

Thanks Steve !

Nice read...
Ok so before i undo everything i will put it in gear and rock it a bit and then try start, if that fails i'm taking this thing apart and getting to the bottom of it i .... hope...

Thanks Jasper, I am 85% sure it's the starter, just to be even more sure, if i hear a clicking noise and it is not the battery, will it most likely be the starter, sometimes the clicking noise stops altogether and i hear absolutely nothing when i try to start the car. wrt it's position i had a peek ...

Thank you for the responses !
It's the EW12 petrol engine, battery and terminals is fine, is it hard to remove the starter without jacking the car ?

Hi Please can anyone help, when i turn the starter i only hear a clicking noise, the engine does not crank over at all, i tried a few times turning the ignition on, but now it even does not make a clicking noise, battery is fully charged, is it the starter And is the starter hard to service if it is...

thanks but i don't want it to be disconnected i want to use it as an added security measure. at the moment it's on green and starts up every time without entering a code.

I simply want to activate it, ie change from automatic to manual mode, so i can actually use the keypad, Is this not possible ?
