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? Admin on Facebook Discovery 3 & 4 Ownersgroup
Cambelt, Fuel Pump Belt, Oil Pump & Water pump replaced by Flack

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? D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten
