When to get it checked

These are the warning signs owners usually notice first

If the engine sounds rough on startup or the car no longer feels right, it is worth getting the timing system checked sooner rather than later.

Common signs

  • Rattle on cold start
  • Restricted Performance message
  • P0016 or P0017 fault codes
  • Loss of power or poor running
  • Timing correlation faults

Simple, fixed pricing

You should not have to fight through a quote maze just to understand the likely cost of repairing a known problem.

Important note

Non-transferable warranty

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the service and is not transferable. If the vehicle is sold, the warranty ends.

What your repair includes

This service is for owners who care about standards. It is not about getting the car in and out as fast as possible. It is about doing a difficult job carefully, cleanly and to a level that gives you confidence when you drive away.

1

Official JLR diagnostic checks

Your vehicle is checked with official JLR software to confirm timing-related issues and verify phase positions as part of the process.

2

Methodical strip-down and refit

This is a highly detailed repair. It is approached carefully and methodically, with much more attention to the job than the rushed conveyor-belt feel owners often expect elsewhere.

3

No shortcuts on sealing and reassembly

Components are properly sealed and refitted, with time allowed for everything to cure and dry as it should before final testing and handover.

4

Clean assembly standards

The sump is blocked during cleaning to reduce the risk of debris or excess sealant entering the oil system. Small details matter because small contamination can create big problems later.

5

Yellow Mark quality control

Critical fasteners are torqued to factory specification and witness-marked in yellow, giving visible proof of careful assembly and quality control.

6

Photo updates and full transparency

Pictures are taken throughout the repair and sent to you, so you can see exactly what has been done, how it has been done, and what your vehicle looks like during the process.

Repair time

Typically 3 to 5 working days

That time allows for proper strip-down, careful cleaning, correct sealing, drying time, reassembly, verification and testing before the vehicle is handed back.

Why that matters

Quality first, not rushed out the door

This is designed for people who appreciate quality over a cheap quick fix. It is a complicated and technical job, and very few garages deliver this level of care and finish consistently.
