From one extreme to another :)

I'd definitely check. Mine looks like the bolt worked loosed then the thread let go. Easy thing to check.... wish I had!! :(

I thought about it - they're very rare though if you want any kind of history and mileage confidence. Most are a part engine sitting on the floor in the corner of a breakers warehouse. Looks like this chap is keeping his if he can. Thanks for the advice though MJI and markomate2!

Hell yeah! - I'm looking at a few Disco 3's as we speak!

Shame as I thought the group would have some interested parties. Oh well I'll have to rely on eBay. Yes the bolt was the issue. Repaired the thread, fitted new turbo and changed shells. Ran for about 20 miles and the shells went again. Its a good buy for someone that is capable of doing the...

Hi everyone. I'm the latest victim of the Oil Pump bolt failure on my Disco2. Any recommendations for a recon engine swap? Thank you
