LR have not released parts. Only solution is a new short block at around £2k plus cost to rebuild. or a short engine at £4.5k...
Was hoping to find a 2nd hand engine at around £2k or so
There is a very good company in Dagenham called IDEAL ENGINES (0208 596 0396)that supplied and fitted a low-mileage secondhand unit to my mates BMW 330d for £2000 pounds - including VAT, collection of his vehicle and a full valet of his car!
They took 4 days.
The BMW dealer wanted £8600 for a new one.
The service was good - I should think they might want a bit more than 2k but give them a call.
The replacement engine is warranted for 12 months.
Hope this helps

My issue with a "re-con" engine is exactly the same as why I cannot rebuild my own engine.
If JLR/PSA cannot supply the parts to rebuild my engine, then where are they getting their parts from to recondition an engine?

If you can find a Disco 3 engine for £1000, buy it, and I will double your money. Breakers are asking £3500 as there is a short supply. AFAIK, only 1 left in the country from the big breakers. A recon engine is only a few hundred quid more, but are on back order with LR, with no delivery date

I already am, and they have offered to supply an engine to me at cost price, as I use them a lot for parts due to my work. They do not have a single D3 engine in stock.
They do have a 2.7 D4 engine in stock, but are not sure if it will fit a D3

They have a monopoly on the market
