TD5 cracked block !!
I have been stripping down the Disco chasing the cause of running rough and lots of coolant in the sump. Head came off and went for pressure tests

133158
133159133160
Next oil cooler apart to inspect and reseal
133161
133162
133163
Next checking the bores and measure piston protrusions. Here is where I found a big problem . Number 1 Piston has no protrusion. So bent con rod I recon . Next while inspecting bore found a large crack between bore and coolant gallery. This is where all the coolant is getting in.

133165
133166133167
So I’m thinking head gasket went , cylinder filled and hydraulic locked causing damage
So I guess the block is a boat anchor now . Any one had one repaired with a liner ?
Any TD5 bottom ends for sale or just get another complete engine ??
