There are several threads about it around the 75/ZT forums and the odd video on YouTube.

thats interesting tc, the car that has the harmonic balancer issue has 140,000km on it, i have 2 other 75s with well over 230,000km and no pulkey issues at all thus far- touch wood !!
There a hard part to find for the kv6.
As said , last list price from Rover was $1,200 from an ex dealer, put an “L” on the end of the part nunber and it becomes a landrover part, $750 aud !!
