Mike has refered me to Ebay for the oil ladder: Item No. 330532445407 Part No. LCN000140L.

Bit pricey.

We are having to re-think buying the parts ourselves.

Give "Gaskets For Classics" a call. The parts listed in its eBay kits are available separately, it merely lists kits to meet what it found to be routine demand. It will make up an order to suit your requirements.

To be told, as said, that you can't buy it seperately.

Which, I must admit has left me rather confused.

We have said, that perhaps we should provide all the parts. Apart from a second hand head and he can charge us labour??

In which case, I need a list of what to buy.

The MLS gasket.
head bolts.
water pump.
Timing belt.
Piston
oil filter.
oil
red antifreeze.
new expansion tank cap

What else???

Sump gasket?
cam cover gasket?
inlet manifold gasket?

I'm at a loss here!!!

I found someone on one of the forums, who gave a link to Ebay.
Gaskets for classics. They do Rover K series MLS head gasket WITH the oil rail. VHSK16BNR £110. And it has all these 'extra bits' that the MLS ZUA000080 doesn't have.

I need to sort this as soon as possible.

Can anyone give me any answers to my post No. 157 as well please?

Many Thanks. Debbie.

Debbie,

Sometime back in this Thread I mentioned and gave the Part No for the full Cylinder Head Modification Kit. This Kit consist of the 3 essential items you require. Namely:- 1. Multi Layer Steel Cylinder Head Gasket. 2. Cylinder Head Shim (fitted with the Black coated side in direct contact with the Cylinder Head Face) and 3. The Modified Oil Feed Ladder Rail which are all included under the Kit Part No.ZUA000080.
This Kit is available from all Xpart or Land Rover Dealerships, and should not be difficult to obtain. Xpart can supply direct if it is necessary I'm sure.
Be very careful that it is the correct Kit and not some spurious made up Kit.
Save yourself the headache and get the Kit to the Part Number given from the genuine agents.
It really is very straight forward to obtain and does the proper job for you.
Please do not mess about with anything else, as it is just not worth it.
Regards,
Telfer

Hi, yes, fully aware of ZUA000080.
Many thanks.
But, Mike doesn't use this.
He is buying all the parts as it's part of his quote.

Marc has spoken to him, at length and we are not having the oil rail ladder.
I'm leaving it up to him.
If it go's again, then we'l have to face that then.

I was wondering if any one has used the oil rail ladder with other gaskets, than the one in the kit??? (ZUA000080)

Obviously all MLS gaskets are not the same???
Are they copies of the original one that was developed???
What exactly is the difference???
Does any one know please?
Does it depend on who they are made by???

Regards, Debbie.

good luck with the car ,i hope it gets sorted well and you have no more trouble with it .. it is a must that when the car is done and the cooling system is bled that they make sure that no air is left in the system...

Hi, all.

Well, she's fixed and sitting back outside the house!
Such a lovely sight. makes me realise why I fell in love with her, in the first place.

Everything seems to be all ok.
Gonna take her for a nice run at the weekend.

Got to replace the pollen filter and Jules plenum cover.

And then book the MOT and pray she pass's.

Regards, Debbie.
