Tried to call but can't get through. Anyone know anythi g about Autocraft?

http://www.autocraftds.com/

Seems JLR buy them in. Wonder if this is potentially a cheaper source of 2.7/3.0 engines, or whether they only rebuild for the manufacturer

Question

Looks like they make engines for a few manufacturers, bet they go deaf when quizzed

Mmmmmmm
Autocraft works in partnership with the OEMs when they design new engines with end-of-life “Design for Reman” in mind. We assist the engine designers by transferring our knowledge of historical engine failures to improve their product quality. The experience we gain during the design and serial production phases allows us to develop remanufacturing solutions for our customers that make our reman engines better than new!

I guess the issue will be if LR have made them sign some sort of contract to say they won’t supply anyone else but LR.

I very much doubt they'd deal with the public or dealer direct as they'll have a supplying contract in place with LR

Disco Mike,
please correct me if am wrong. the overall concern on to rebuild a tdv6 engine is availability of spare parts, especially main bearings.
please check this guys (https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/27-tdv6-c102x3005712) which has all the parts, at least as i see it.

From that guy i have ordered all my rebuild parts for the heads plus the bearings (main and conrod) since i had opened bottom side as well.

so theoretically everything is available, correct?

Spoke to them before they cannot sell to public due to contract I don't think they do the 3.0 engine just re manufacture the 2.7 , I think they used to sell or support a company called motorman who dealt with large fleet cars but to my understanding they now won't support even them as Landrover have stopped it

Sweden 2011 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Marmaris TealDiscovery 4

I have tried to find out in another thread without luck. Maybe here.

Is it possible to find out the VIN number of the car engine with number 0902427306DT comes from?
Replacing a D4 with a seized TDV6 3.0l MY 2011. Found an SDV6 engine with above number which should be from a 28000 miles D4 MY 2015.
Is it a straight fit?

The other question is if the torque converter is the same for a 6 speed gearbox and the 8 speed gearbox.

I might scout it out. I’m only 20 mins from Belton/Grantham. Would be handy to
know.
