henk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 According to his LR garage here in Belgium, my son needs a replacement engine for his Disco4 TDV6 but they ask around £10.000... Who can recommend a good address in the UK where they also fit it and give 12 months warrantee. Addresses between Dover and Peterborough are considered Thanks for any reply Henk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You might do better to ask the same question on disco3.co.uk Many of the internal TDV6 parts aren't available as spares, so I think you'd have to regard any 'rebuilt' engine with suspicion. New or salvage are the more likely options. There are a few common failures in TDV6, and LR have sometimes contributed to the cost of repairs, so it's worth doing some research if it wasn't obvious 'operator error' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrycol Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 You will also need to specify which TDV6 engine you are talking about - the 2.7, the lower powered 3.0 or the higher powered 3.0. And yes go to the D3/D3 Disco Uk site. Cheers Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 A post on disco3.com talked of £5,000 for a new engine (from LR I believe?). There seems to be a known smoking problem with 3.0 TDV6 though LR claim it is not the engine but at least a LR sourced engine would be up to date with mods etc. Marc.

henk Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 It looks there will be a happy end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftedDisco Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Henk You say this looks like a 'happy outcome' so this may be too late... I was going to suggest a call to Kev, the Parts Manager at Duckworths in Market Rasen - this is slightly outside your search area but I was having a mooch around his 'interesting but generally spare' containers the other day and he appears to have an engine tucked away! Didn't ask why (or price) but he is a really knowledgeable chap, helpful and also exports loads of stuff! Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
