I had a thread going in teh general chat section, but anyhow, problem diagnosed at last. Cracked head syndrome... after replacing pretty much everythong else.
My question is simple, would this cracked head have possibly emulated symptoms akin to injector problems.
I brought my Disco to a LR dealer complaining of extremely rough sound in engine and lack of power at times. Read outs indicated falty injectors. When I replaced all 5 at a cost of over 2000 a few days later I was plagued with slow starting problems, whihc after relacing essentailly everything from fuel pump, filter housing, pipewrok to regulator valve etc.. (at a cost of another 1100) it transpires that he head is cracked.
My question is did I spend all this money in vain and was it the cracked head all along that caused all my fuel issues with teh disco...
Any suggestions on what to do with my cracked head. Can they be welded? Is it advisable to put in a new unit on a 195000 mile engine....
