Hey everyone...

Just chasing options for a reconditioned 300tdi engine for my Disco
AND/OR
Someone/workshop who will recondition mine.

Engine currently in the vehicle will most likely need a new block due to warpage, have not taken the head off yet, but am confident I caught the rapid coolant evacuation early enough to salvage the head. It was bought new with all fittings about 5 years //maybe 70 000ish kms ago.
Noticed warpage when head was fitted, but warp was "minute" enough to fit thicker gasket, but have a feeling that time/outback use might have worn it out...?

Happy to take old engine out/put new engine in myself if needed.
But unfortunately desperately need time as I'm not terribly experienced, done the head, changed all ancillaries, done regular maintenance and changed the clutch so have some knowledge but never pulled a whole engine out...

Can anyone recommend a capable engineering shop?

Thanks, all options appreciated!
Simone

-- also have a potential "donor Disco", engine in that one has only done about 180 000km.. registered and running smooth. Am considering to swap it but want to explore the option of reconditioning for peace of mind//longevity

cheers!
