Unexpceted Huge Oil Leak Fixed - Land Rover Discovery TDV6 / S5-Ep4

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this weeks episode, we repair an unexpected huge oil leak on Fabians 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 with the 2.7L TDV6. We did previously rebuild his engine including a line-bore job but we used a aftermarket gasket and here is the penalty for this.

    Yes, very enjoyable, thanks and quite relaxing watching you fix complicated stuff. Lightyears away from the old series LRs which I'm told that local Scottish hill farmers used to keep going for decades with any old tools to hand, changing engines when the old ones were completely worn out. When the ancient LRs were sold on, often on a farmer retiring and selling up, buyers weren't interested in the mileage so much as when the engine was last changed!

Before they installed oversized pistons they tried everything under warranty ! Then problems with drive shaft bearings . Forget to make holes in flywheel so no lubrication behind . Lots of problems and I said never again , British (and Americans) cannot build cars . You people show a lot of courage and it proves that it did not get any better . You guys are experts and are very enthusiastic but it takes a lot of time ! Good luck I love your vlogs !

I'm guessing that you have probably saved Fabian > 1k Euros and more importantly probably did a better job than many main dealers - you are good friends to have. Very interesting re: the comparison of the two gaskets - it must be an art to know when it is worthwhile to get aftermarket vs when you really need to go OEM. Congratulations to you all, and of course, Bon Voyage to Fabian. PS good for you for the shout-out to Steve(? hope I got the name right) who showed you that trick - and a shout-out to him also for his heartfelt speech on the internet!
