Replacement Engine 2002 hse 4.4

[eumundimerc]

My engine has failed metal in oil lines and sump where do I locate replacement
No one has or knows where to get car only done 164000 so too good to wreck

[Scouse]

It's a BMW M62 engine so there's plenty in wrecking yards.


Even eBay has quite a few engines listed & freight, while probably not cheap, would be easy enough for a wrecker to organise.

Graeme Cooper Automotive in Sydney, hold a secondhand BMW engine in stock for exactly that purpose.

There must be BMW wreckers near you even if you have to go to Brizzy to pick one up. (The other option is a Statutory write off vehicle from the insurance auctions)

[eumundimerc]

They don't have engine also tried Triumph rover spares and Turner Engineering but no luck

I have been total engine in Range Rovers was modified to suit by landroverWhile some of the bolt on bits might not be the same, the basic engine itself is.
You might need to strip down the BMW motor to a basic long motor & build it up again using your RR bits.


When LR couldn't supply parts to repair Range Rovers, we used the equivalent BMW part - easy when you're at a dealership dealing with both marques.

[eumundimerc]

Mechanic plus MR rover said bmw motor needs too much modification


Rang and emailed British Off Road and Ritters both have not called back


Did enquire about BM engines but high KS low warranty


To leave our property need big 4wd towing large horse float as have to go up steep dirt rd


any further suggestions

[Scouse]

any further suggestions


Graeme Cooper Automotive in Sydney, hold a secondhand BMW engine in stock for exactly that purpose.

Get in touch with Graeme Cooper Automotive. Explain where you are (not local) & that you've been told that they fit the BMW engine to RRs.
From all reports, they're a decent company so they may well help you and your mechanic with the ins & outs of the job.


Any differences for off road capability will be in the oil sump/pick up area which you have on your old engine.

[eumundimerc]

Rang them and they said nothing anywhere to suit car
Also had previously emailed re Bm solution as suggested


Told me to
"Try also All four by 4 Spares 02 4957 1117"

[Blade74]

Can you recondition yours?

[CBH25]

Mate you can borrow my P38 for a week or two while you're sorting the L322 if you need to tow the horses.

My L322 doesn't have the tow electrics module.

[eumundimerc]

would like to rebuild to rebuild but told uneconomic due to metal thru engine plus no one seems interested in rebuilding or suppying exchange engine

[Scouse]

A quick internet search shows that you need to use an X5 motor & swap the sump & front covers over. Probably other bolt on bits too I'd imagine.

[Grumbles]

That is just terrible news eumundimerc. It must be shattering for you.....having such a wonderful car but which can't be repaired plus the loss of the cars value.

Your situation also puts a whole new [negative] perspective on buying a BMW powered L322 V8.

[eumundimerc]

You would think it would be easy to find a range rover replacement engine

Think your problem is that this is a BMW engine. Special tools required to do rebuild and they are not on general issue. This is normal BMW practice to keep you in dealer network. Even in UK these are difficult to repair know of only 3 places which could do the job that are not dealers.

[frantic]

Depending on the cost and how much you want to spend , could you consider a different engine?
Anything from a 6.2 petrol v8 to a (after 2007)6.6 duramax tdv8. These are common swaps in certain jap 4bies. Even a later model BMW v8.

[PhilipA]

Try the bloke below. he is a well known BMW independent who IMHO would have the knowledge to fit a BMW motor and may be able to find one..

Thanks but their Engine has done315,000


Mine failed at 164000 and was serviced every 5000 ks or 6mths
interval between last services was 2000k


Have to keep looking

[disco gazza]

They have another v8 in for wrecking its dual fuel only done 153000.

[frantic]

Another issue to consider is the overall cost.
If a fully functioning 02 or 03 RR is worth $15-25,000 before negotiation,is it going to be an over investment doing a $8-12,000 engine swap?
If you sold the body with the kaput donk for $1-2,000 you could buy a similar model. If it was still drivable , possibly trade it on a newer model, so the stealer offers you $8,000 and the repair was going to cost $12,000 means you have $20,000 to spend, or a $12k change over. If they offer more, like $15k then your into a $27k region.

And if you want to spend a bit more on a trade in, maybe look at a RR sport as they have the same max trailer weight, but are more efficient with the tdv6/8 options and easier to park as a bit smaller, all genuine reasons to trade an 02 RR on a 07-09 RRsport .

Gold City LandRover Gympie have finished a full rebuild


Picking up Wednesday Alan says goes like a rocket


Never heard back from anyone that had engine or half cut in all this time


so glad I finally was able to find someone willing to do rebuild


No one wanted to do it before Gold City Landrover

[Laurie]

Finally good news. I'm very surprised that a used low km engine couldn't be found. I hope the cost as reasonable considering ! How extensive was the rebuild ?

O REMOVE ENGINE AND FR DRIVE TRAIN FROM L322 STRIP ENGINE COMPLETE REPLACE FAULY OIL PUMP CLEAN OUT ENGINE (METAL THROUGH EVERYTHING) FIT NEW RINGS AND BEARING REASSAMBLE AND REINSTALL

no one ever came up with another low kilometre engine here or overseas tried everyone and kept ringing and emailing lots of promises but no results


Very Lucky that Gold City Land Rover was able to do the job other local Range Rover experts were not interested in helping or even returning calls

[CBH25]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop mate.
Glad to see the Gympie boys could help.

Good to know for future when deciding where to get services and who to support for spare parts in the region.

Thanks

[Grumbles]

I've often wondered how you were going. Some good news at last with your engine being rebuilt and the car back on the road. Kudos to Gold City Landrover.

[eumundimerc]

picked car up have done a test over varied 100 ks was going to sell as had bought ml 500 but think will keep

[eumundimerc]

The Car Dealers Australia wide warranty only ended up paying around $2000 they provide warranty to a lot of prestige dealerships


You don't expect problems but check dollar amounts covered and don't rely on dealers advice


I had only done approx. 4000 ks since purchase and was lumbered with big bill still


at least have motor which is like new with matching numbers

[rar110]

When looking for a car last year, I was amazed how much an after market warranty cost for such little benefit, once a car had done modest km ie over 100,000km. I suppose from the insurer's perspective its risk v net return.

Good to hear it's going well.

[Roverlord off road spares]

I was amazed how much an after market warranty cost for such little benefit,

.
Those aftermarket warranties are a gold mine for the seller and poretty useless for the customer. I have read some horror stories and had an acquaintance who tried to claim on an engine once, not worth the paper it was written on, he followed the recommended service intervals by licenced mechanics also and he had it added on his hire purchase loan!.
The recent dealer we just bought a car from told me straight out he doesn't offer those aftermarket warranties as they are useless.

[eumundimerc]

I received $2031 from warranty company out of a bill of around $9000

Better than nothing

I was more annoyed with the dealer I had purchased car from who promised everything but did nothing

Car does few ks only 2000 since rebuild but has just had service including transmission at gympie and everything is good and it tows the extended horse float brilliantly

[Pedro_The_Swift]

where did all the metal bits end up coming from??

[eumundimerc]

Oil pump or timing change guides. Alan at Gympie Landrover would know
