Another TDV6 Crankshaft Bearing Failure

I don't recall any on here.But sometimes my brain is like a sieve.
100000km should only just be run in.My bro just bought one with over 220km on it.

Currently looking at 1 that has 110k on it.

The problem seems reasonably rare and pretty much confined to low km engines.

Will make high km versions more valuable! [emoji1]

The most common occurrence of this issue seems to be Cheap fuel and long service intervals... (for the most part).

In South Africa where there are different Diesel qualities available there appears to be the most failures.

I can not quantify this, just an observation.

Thanks LandyAndy,


Yep 110k think the same way.


Thought the same way with the 145k NP Pajero we bought also but seems we have one of the rare donk lemons. Second hand engine installed with 160k on the clock that now has 200k so far so good.


Hope to have better luck with the Disco 4 by retiring the Pajero from Towing, use only for daily drive and 4WDing. Use the Disco for towing the just under 2T van and beach driving (without the van)


First job on the Disco a brake controller, seen some posts for that I will follow, likely take the one out of the Camry. Latter a CB and second battery (does not look like much room in the engine bay) Need to research here for that. Apart from that will keep her stock until the Pajero needs to be fully retired.


Anyway looking forward to picking the Disco up tomorrow and finding lots of useful tips and info here.

Problem began with a small vibration at 110kph followed by a rapid loss of power and complete system shut down. Fortunately, I was able to pull over quickly but the engine had ceased turning before I came to a complete stop. The event from beginning to end lasted approximately 15 seconds. This occurred near Yulara, 1700kms from home at the beginning of a trip! It is worth noting that the vehicle had already had two oil engine oil changes beforehand: one at 12K and the second at 23K.
This is my second Discovery having bought a 2012 TDV6 2.7 in June of that year It became apparent after 30 months that for the previous year the vehicle had a significant quantity of diesel in the engine, despite two oil changes in that time. Injection seals were deemed the problem and replaced under warranty by LRA at 60,000kms.
I now sadly have lost faith in the reliability of these vehicles and will be changing my allegiance. A sad time. :wacko:
