  3. My LR Agent discovered diesel in the oil sump which causes oil viscosity to drop and hence a drop in oil pressure. They replaced injector seals but also suspect a hole burnt into a piston. Anyway, the problem disappeared after seal replacement but now 2000km's later it has resurfaced with a vengeance. Not being able to approach my servicing agent I took the truck to the nearest Dealer which claims that the head is now cracked They apparently determined this by removing a single injector. I have been given a quote that is almost 50% of the vehicles value to fix, ranging from a new cylinder head to bearings, oil pump etc. It was also stated that 'should' the head be cracked it can not be repaired as no engineering firm will risk this ( due to high pressures involved) Has anyone experienced these symptoms or can you please recommend tests /diagnostics whereby the problem can be determined without a 'total replace and hope it is fixed approach'? Thanks G Otto
  4. Hi, newbie to this forum but am wondering if my problem can be related to this... I have a 2003 TD5 Disco II and lately noticed a booming noise coming from the exhaust pipe when accelerating. It only occurs at ± 100-1100rpm and then disappears. My local LR agent recons it is a common problem but I have yet to hear of any other Disco’s with the same issue. Apparently this is caused by sound waves at a resonant frequency and is cured by replacing the down-pipe. Could it be a similar problem to the one described and do you concur with the fix? Why would it be only noticable after 115,000 km's? Your advice will be appreciated.
