Frequently asked questions

What is the ERC1561 camshaft retaining plate and what does it do?
The ERC1561 is the camshaft retaining plate for the four-cylinder engine. Bolted to the front face of the cylinder block behind the camshaft gear, it locates the camshaft axially and controls its endfloat, stopping the camshaft moving fore and aft.
Which engines and models does this plate fit?
This camshaft retaining plate fits the 2.25-litre petrol and 2.5-litre diesel, turbo diesel and 200TDi four-cylinder engines. It's used on the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Series 2 and 3, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994 from VIN JA610294).
What tools are needed to fit the camshaft retaining plate?
Fitting the retaining plate typically means removing the timing cover and camshaft gear to reach the front of the block, so it's usually done during timing or engine work rather than as a standalone job. Check camshaft endfloat against the workshop manual once refitted.
