Disco 3 (LR3) Disco3 2006/7 died whilst driving

My soon to be ex wife has our d3. So that's two expensive things out of my life now. Both tried to bankrupt me!
Mine killed it's crank and needed a new motor, now just hoping it blows up and kills the another crank, especially because she was shagging her boss

Just heard back from my garage. Its a land rover shop. TDV6 engine is Kaput. Unfortunately he doesn't do engine swaps. Going to use London Engines. Anyone had good or bad experiences with them?

From memory, they're best avoided.

I'm sure there was one of those TV scammer trader programmes about them.

Just get a second hand engine from a vehicle in the list above, but avoid an LR engine, as those are heavily stressed.

So? what was it?

Good one Gary, some of the gravity of the situation is lost in the translation, but in essence that Disco V6 engine has had the "richard", as they say.
