Thread: BLOWN HEAD GASKET? 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S

Just a quick update..My mechanic was unable to identify the fault with my motor without undertaking further expensive surgery. Given the options and likely costs I decided a new motor (short) was the best solution . This transplantation has solved my initial problem but has created another. I wont raise that problem here as I believe that it is off topic to this thread. Thanks all for your valued advice.

Cheers
Steve

Hello Dreamn, CaverD3 and 400HPongas. A final update on my Issues. We isolated the issue to the EGR coolers by blocking off the water flow to them for a week and did 500km in that week with no water loss and the engine ran like a dream. New coolers $370 each plus fitting. The turbo is leaking oil through the intercooler also. Well I said that was it because we have decided to sell and change brands to a Mitsubishi Challenger. The Landy has been fantastic but just getting too costly to run with 195000km in 6yrs. The Challenger is cheaper to run will tow 3000kg (our camper 1800kg) and there is just my wife and I now so no need for such a big car. My wife is distraught because she really loves the Disco 3. Any way the decision is made and the new car ordered. Any body want a slightly used Disco 3 for $25,000.

Thanks for the advice on the forum. The Challenger forum under the Victorian Pajero club has been just as helpful as this forum with hits on modifications and model information.
