ok I'm going to post up everything I'm going to be doing this year, which is quite a bit lol
I'm no writing genius and this isnt a how to, i just thought that i have a lot to strip down and if a bit of an explanation and a few pics, may help someone out who may be doing a completley different job, just to be able to see whats really under that cover lol, so apologies if its not very fluent

D
Anyway the first job is going to be crankcase breathers and a slight coolant leak from what i believe is the coolant sensor
which is only 6 months old i may add, so here goes :
DSCN0378.jpg

ok so started stripping down, removed the engine cover to reveal this
DSCN0380.jpg

bit of tape on the breather pipe so ill get a replacement, removed all breathers and the Airbox, very easy to do just hold down the red clip and pull the pipe, the airbox was just a couple of screws and undo the intake pipe with a screwdriver and pull the pipe and the top of airbox away as one
DSCN0382.jpg

removed the fuel line and removed the wiring for the throttle, idle and purge valve
disconnected the accelerator cable and the rear support bar for the wiring from the black part of the intake manifold
disconected vis motors(both faulty)will be replacing these with stocktakes fancy all singing all dancing ones at the end of the month
undid an 8mm bolt that secures the pressure test pipe for the fuel rail and removed the 4 bolts securing the Black Manifold
DSCN0384.jpg
then proceeded to remove the manifold, to be honest it was pretty tight on and did require a lot of pressure to pull off

Ok so manifold removed
DSCN0386.jpg

DSCN0387.jpg

DSCN0388.jpg
You will notice ive also removed the the front bank wiring, injector wiring and coil packs, coils are held in with a 8mm bolt undo that and pull them out, injector wiring is just plug and play

DSCN0392.jpg

ok so thats it for today more to follow

Ok mini update, ill post some pics later, i've removed the front bank injectors, only to find one has been broken and pathetically glued back in!!! also a funny glue like substance (im unfamilar with this substance) around all injector seals and to be honest their pretty shot, i'm a little unclear as to why they felt the need to remove these in the first place but they've definatley been bodged back in so i'm on the hunt for another injector to replace the broken one and i'm about to go and strip off the rear bank, ill do a better write up tonight

You've got some good pictures there which should go a long way to helping other v6 owners.

As for your injector seals, if you're referring to the upper seals that fit in to the fuel rail they're readily available on eBay and it is very easy to trap and damage these seals when refitting the fuel rail.

Thanks, ive already got the seal kit, ive just ordered the injector, ive got manifold seals and gaskets coming from dmgrs so parts wise im now pretty good, or rather will be when they turn up next week lol

If you've removed the fuel rail from the injectors I find using a small smearing of engine oil over the seals and the inside surfaces of the fuel rail certainly does help reassembly.

And Land Rover dealers too, if there's one nearby.

Part number is MKD 000 010L
