England 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 Pursuit LE Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3
Engine failure

My 8yr old Disco 3 seized(crank) 2 months after 108,000 mile service (includes cam belt)
Its been serviced from new by LR. I understand that there is a proven fault with the engine
ie bearings fitted incorrectly from new. I'm in East London does anyone know of an investigative
specialist who might confirm the problem for me so I have some ammunition for LR.

Thanks

Was the oil pump replaced?, if not my money would be on the casting failing due to the weak design used on 07/08 d3's... have you inspected the engine yourself? did you notice if the belt had come off?

You need to contact Pete @ Landrover and raise the issue. Has every service been done by Land Rover?

My D3s engine died at the grand old age of 2yrs 10 months and less than 20,000 on the clock, LR replaced it under warranty, no questions asked. Somehow the engine completely seized.

Sorry to butt in BUT

What happens if the servicing is done by A N Other instead of LR,
Ie Indy mobile mechanic etc ?

Is that tough luck then, your on your own etc?
