^dont know the dude but concur with Rangieman.
I'm hoping I misheard him on that it was a bad connection, he's going to email me details, will see....I'm not going to say who it is yet until I know for sure what's going on, he hasn't been mentioned on this forum for quite a few years but has a good reputation as far as land rovers go....
Don't mention who it is. This forum takes a dim view of naming and shaming.Quote:

Fwiw.
They can be bored to +20 thou but you'll need new pistons for that.
2nd hand motor is probably your cheapest bet but I'd be wary of your mechanic.
thanks guys good advice as usual :)
all his email contains is a quote for a 2nd hand engine (no details on engine at all) $2300, installed $1000 and $150 for fluids, $3795 after GST.
no info as yet. i've fired off some questions..
Follow the advice of Discorevy on the other thread re:
Cam timing.
Rangieman pretty well sums up my thoughts based on the info so far.
Honestly, I have had a bad feeling about this episode from the beginning.
Keep us posted. There are s couple of members who can supply you with a second hand motor for a fair price and known condition.
FYI I've seen TD5 bores with hone marks still visible at those kms.
How do you know that? He might be from Cyprus[bigrolf]Quote:
