I matched the timing markings on the harmonic balancer with the movement of the cylinder 1 piston with a borescope. Upon viewing many complete spins of the crankshaft, the balancer markings seem to be precise.

I have not previously seen your discussion on the same topic, but I will examine it now. I own no substantial maintenance data for this vehicle, hence it is conceivable that the chain has never been changed. The indicated odometer mileage is around 73,000, however the odometer was functioning intermittently when I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle operates OK, save from the persistent problem with the rich fuel mixture that I am now investigating. It seems to me that the timing chain is not placed one tooth off. What should be the appropriate tension of the chain? I could not detect a detachable master link in the timing chain when rotating the engine for today's valve adjustment. I have only finished the passenger side so far, and I may postpone adjusting the driver side valves and installing a new timing chain and cam sprockets until next weekend. Should I replace just the cam and sprockets, or should I also include the tensioner and tensioner rail? I must revisit the chain replacement discussion in EGv107. I understand that my 1973 aluminum-backed guides should only be changed if they seem damaged.

I am detecting around 18 degrees of timing chain elongation on my 1973 450SL. Refer to the accompanying photographs. Does it seem like I have measured this accurately? The engine exhibits no discernible timing chain sounds, and there are no witness markings on the cylinder head indicating chain contact.

Why is the towing package option unavailable for US models, yet it can be selected for European versions? I really hope Land Rover would answer this inquiry. It is incomprehensible to me!

Observations on PHEV offers o The overall weight resulting from the inclusion of the battery and electric motor precludes the availability of the following factory options with this powertrain.

Thank you for providing this information.

Water is a byproduct of combustion. Hydrocarbon fuels consist of carbon and hydrogen. In an unpolluted environment, they react with Oxygen to produce H20 (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). During the first cooling phase of the exhaust system, the water vapor resulting from the combustion process undergoes condensation and then drains out of the tailpipe. Once the exhaust reaches a high temperature, it is released as water vapor, causing the dripping to cease.

Where should I subsequently publish it?

Greetings, everyone. In 2022, my Defender vehicle became locked with the key fob inadvertently left inside. I attempted to lock it using the in-control app, but now I am unable to open it due to an error shown by the app. Unfortunately, I do not have a replacement key available. I attempted to reinstall the application, but it did not resolve the issue. Does anybody have advice on how to proceed in this situation? I reached out to the local Land Rover dealership and they suggested bending my door, but warned that it might potentially cause damage. This approach strikes me as unprofessional.
