Guys,
How many have had the unfortunate problem of a cracked block,
Is the 300 Tdi block prone to cracking, my Disco has a nursed 160 K on the clock only.
I have been informed by my spanner that the constant leak of oil form around / under the matching of the gear box (auto) and motor might be stemming from a crack in the block the (behind the flywheel) when the motor is warm and under normal / extended load (normal driving). The diagnostic comment came from about 5 days of gear box in / out. All area gaskets, seals where replaced etc etc
Anyone use dye penetrate kits to track down cracks????
Also anyone know where I can get a globe for the clock, are they the festoon type or is the plastic bit it’s mounted in part of the deal as well??
Any comments greatly appreciated

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Unusual for a crack there, maybe a Core plug (welch plug), either an oil gallery plug or the cam bearing tunnel plug, more likely one of them leaking rather than the block being cracked, or the rear seal, Regards Frank.Originally Posted by Bugga Me

SupporterWhen you say "sorted", do you mean you have one or you know what to do about it?
If the latter, did you consider replacing the globe with an LED?
The Disco clock may be different, but I replaced all my Defender dash lights, including the clock with LEDs. The main reason I did it was that the original bulbs just weren't bright enough.
They also come in a range of colours. My clock is now a very attractive shade of blue.
