Whats an L series? What car?

hi all



L Series diesel cambelt failure does it normaly screw the valves/head



mine has just gone at 42K (supposed to last 48K)



came to a sudden stop, breakdown checked cambelt not on the sprocket properly



just wondering if anyone knows if it damages the valves on this engine


the L Series is fitted to the earlier freelander diesel models

not the TD4

the engine came from rover and was fitted to the rover 400,200 and possibly the 600 later elecronicly controled versions were fitted to the 25,45

Damage most likely to occur

thanks Jon
