Frequently asked questions

What does the ERR2846 crankshaft Woodruff key do?

The ERR2846 Woodruff key locates the crankshaft timing sprocket and harmonic balancer on the Rover V8 petrol engine. The semi-circular key sits in the crankshaft nose and keys the components for correct angular alignment of the timing drive. It stops them rotating on the shaft.

Should the Woodruff key be replaced when doing timing work?

Replace the Woodruff key whenever the front cover or timing components are disturbed on the V8. It's inexpensive, and a worn or burred key can let the timing sprocket shift and throw out valve timing. Fit a new one rather than reusing the old key on reassembly.

Which Land Rover models use this V8 Woodruff key?

This key fits the Rover V8 petrol engine in the Land Rover Defender up to 2016, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. It suits the 3.5L, 4.0L and 4.6L V8 applications. Confirm you have the V8 petrol engine.
