New TD5 Engine

Hi All,
can anyone tell me the best place to buy a new TD5 engine for my series 2.Just found that the bolt on the oil pump has decided to come out and the engine is seized,then found various forums saying this is quite common,all for the sake of loctite.Ididnt know i new so many naughty words.So if anyone knows of a good supplier i would be most grateful
many thanks Steve

wasnt this subject to a LR recall?

not to my knowledge,ive seen a few people on forums who say there were no recalls for this problem

Out of interest, what year is your TD5 and whats the mileage on it ?

this is a not to uncommon problem and ALL td5 owners should check this bolt urban panzer has a very good write up on his web site

yeh did mine when i bought it...
ref a new one, try a breakers & replace the gaskets etc (& the bolt!) try & hear it running first
be cheaper than buying an already re-conned one..dread to think what they are new from LR!!

About £3500 for a new lump. Guy in the def section just got one for his (same reason too)

not as bad as i thought...

where are you, what are you planing to do with the old worthless engine ?

LAND ROVER DISCOVERY TD5 2000>2005 ENGINE FITTED on eBay (end time 12-Mar-10 15:13:20 GMT)

These guys sorted my engine when it was fooked, they pick your car up, fix it and bring it back to you with either your engine reconned, or a recon engine installed all for a fixed price! This price has gone up now, it was only £1650 when I had it done but they specialise in fixing TD5's and I can vouch for a top job they did!!

edit: forgot to mention thats with a years guarantee too!

This problem featured on watchdog many years ago-to cut a long story short I phone the Landrover head office and told them that as the problem was there fault they should sort it out. New engine fitted FOC. Hope this helps!
