Hi All,
got a 62 plate Discovery 4 commercial 3.0sdv6 engine starts but knocks loudly, i suspect piston as when i take the oil filler cap off it puffs quite a bit (pressure build up).
I don't trust the recon engine adverts online as read some bad reviews unless anyone can recommend a good one.
Question is apart from the Discovery what other vehicles were these engines fitted to? I was told Jaguar XF but would need to change oil sump pan to fit.
Any advice appreciated.

The S Type uses a 2.7L version of the same engine but XF uses the 3.0L.

Changing the sump is nothing, if your changing the engine.
 
There is a scam garage offering recon engines. They're based in Wolverhampton but call themselves different names and state they're located elsewhere. Be very careful if you use a garage.
