Hi all,
I'm normally to be found over in the range rover section but I'm here on behalf of a family member
Hope someone on here can confirm something for me.

He has a disco 4 with the tdv6 engine and it snapped a crank for the second time in as many years.
I think the first time, a secondhand engine was fitted (at great cost) and he thought "it can't possibly happen twice"
Well of course it has and he just wants to get it running again.

Now, I have a battered s type jaguar that I'm thinking of selling anyway but it runs well. My thinking is that I could drive this down to Czech Republic (where the family member is) and swap the engine into the disco and sell the rest of the jag off for parts.

Main question is, does the jag engine fit and is there anything that I need to be aware of

Many thanks in anticipation.
 
Hi

Blimey talk about bad luck

What engine is in ur jag plse , is it the 2.7 as the D4 will be a SDV6 3.0 litre

May i also ask plse, ref both vehicles , auto , years , mileage

Thks
 
Jag is a 2005 2.7.
The disco, apparently, was supposed to be a 2.7 but was at some stage changed for a 3.0 as it was supposed to be more reliable.
This suggests to me that this had happened before his ownership
The disco is a 2010 auto.
Please forgive me for being a bit vague.
The owner only speaks Czech so this is being translated via my wife who is completely none technical and some things simply don't translate literally.

My understanding is that the only difference between the two blocks is the stroke of the crank. What I can't seem to find out is whether the bellhousing and engine mounts will be the same

Basically, he just wants to get it running to sell it.
There are ****part cranks available for the 2.7 but he doesn't yet know how much damage had been done to the block which is why we are looking at the jag option.

(bear in mind, my p38 is needing to come home from Czech so I could drive the jag down and drive back in the range rover so it kinda works out if it will fit)
 
Admin, is it possible to delete one of these posts, it appears to have been posted twice.
No point having two threads running on the same subject.

Cheers.
