    What to do?

    I find myself in position of owning a Discovery 3 SE with a blown engine (2nd one, 18 months after the first, but we aren't allowed to go into the details on this forum and that is really not the point of this post).
    So am wondering what to do with the old girl, apart from the engine which we suspect has another cam shaft or bearing issue it has some very useful and low mileage equipment on it.
    I am not very mechanically minded or inclined to spend the time stripping it to sell bit by bit. I was offered the princely sum of $150 for it by a salvage company.
    Open to suggestions, is someone looking for a project or willing to spend the time to salvage the parts?

    Some details
    Discovery 3 SE MY2008 230 000kms
    TDv6
    ARB winch bar
    Milford Cargo barrier (uninstalled but available as part of the job lot)
    Gearbox has been rebuilt about 2 years ago.

    Regards Andrew

    Hi Andrew, whereabouts is the car situated?

    Possibly a good project for someone.

    Sorry - that would be useful information

    The car is in Canberra.

    If it was closer.......

    Surely someone wants to have a dip at a project! It's obviously worth a lot more than the wrecker option.

    I'm too far away, and realistically I already have a couple too many projects.
