Hi all - I have a 110 TD5. It has started to develop a whistle from the tail pipe. No loss of power, no bad noise from the manifold or any soot, all the bolts are good. Any ideas or next steps to diagnose the issue?

Does anyone have any experience with 4x4 engine rebuilds? Quote is reasonable and the reviews online are good… this is what they do, means nothing to me RECONDITIONING PROCESS Engine is disassembled & each part cleaned thoroughly Cylinder Boring (new liners installed, if required)...

Ovals has said £5300 to put in a reconditioned engine…

No investigation done yet as to root cause, waiting to hear back on good will from JLR. Can’t imagine hitting the “press” would do too much, old story isn’t it? been offered 17k to take it as a non runner. Wondering if that’s easiest and just suck it up

Thank you everyone, will follow up on these options. LR have opened a “case” and are looking at what they can offer on the cost. Have contacted the above aswell for quotes. will keep you posted

27k

Tks - do I repair it and sell it though?

Hi, my 2015 discovery 4, 39,000 miles on the clock stopped running last week. JLR have come back saying engine seized, quoting 12k to replace. Does anyone have any advice on my options? 1)do I pay for the repair (push for a reduced price due to engine low mileage) 2) sell it to a problem car...
