Hi all,
My brothers 2.5 V6 Rover 75, is making rattling noises from the back of the engine, the noise is coming from a square box to the left of the inlet manifold, We have come to the conclusion (with the help of this fantastic website) that its the vis valve motors that need changing. We bought the pair of them £53.00ea + Vat from rover dealer. The service manager said its probably only one of them thats gone, but which one? (they quoted £4-600 for the same job.) He said the only way to tell is to replace one and if the noise goes, bring the other back for a refund, however if you try both, they wont give a refund ? So can we identify which one? Also the square box makes a noise like a pump? when the engine is switched off, this carries on for anything up to 1/2 hour or even longer. Can anybody help, and is this a difficult job to replace these motors ? any help will be greatly appreciated...
