How difficult is the 5.0L timing chain guide replacement?
Trying to decide if it would be feasable or worth it to DIY the Timing Chain Guide Rods and tensioners myself. I have a 5.0L Supercharged, AJ133 in a 2011 Range Rover.
I understand the book says it is 15 hour job? I can't login to topix to check.
TIA.

NB-- Thx. The engines are I believe identical. Range Rovers are a niche vehicle with sales around 20k per year and their forums are a lot less active. I have though asked.
I am ok with it taking more time I do my brakes and fluids etc, and I always find I take my time and make sure everything is good. I do have a garage with a good amount of tools and I'm not opposed to adding more! I do not have a lift.
The technical difficulty is what I am concerned with. Is the job in general a difficult 15 hours or an easy 15 hours? Any particular pain points in the job?

Why not register with TOPIx and purchase one hour or one day to download the appropriate documentation?
Checking with my 'non business user account' TOPIx login shows the rate is 16.20 GBP per hour / 25.20 GBP per day.
