    Is there any other way to check whether Engine is seized etc?
    Can't really check until you get the new oil pump, get the belt back on, and then try and turn the crank by hand. If you try and do it before you get it all timed together, you might be having valves and pistons meeting.

    There is a good chance that that might have already happened, just as scarry says, but I reckon a couple of hours labour is worth is to find out for sure.

    Better spending on a couple of hours labour, than spending on 20 hours that you might not have needed.

    I agree it's worth spending some money to be satisfied the motor is stuffed.

    I would also get some firm advice about the cost of fitting the 4.0 petrol. Either way I've been told it's 2 days labour to lift and refit the body to swap a motor out. It will probably require welding new engine mounts (need to check there is no wiring inside chassis where welding). You also need to ensure the transmission, transfer and diffs have identical ratios. If buying the motor you need to get with it any transmission adaptor and maybe a different flywheel (I don't know if it's different but need to check).

    I'd either fix it or seriously consider selling it and buying a cheap 4.0 D3.

    Rar110, definitely not worth it swapping to a 4.0. You'd need to change front and rear diffs, the gearbox, the fuel tank and lines, radiator and hoses, ecus....

    Any gain in engine cost would be swiftly lost.

    Resale would also be a lot less with a petrol

    Disco_Mikey on Disco3 had to change his engine, and replaced it with the Jag equivalent. There were a few differences, but the basic block was the same.

    I'll also be interested to see how this changeover goes. Lots of pics please!

    Still, uses the wrong fuel and has too few cylinders and too much huffin' ...

    Given that the basic block is very common, will be very good for the community to have a range of options as the vehicles age and become more problematic. Likewise, be very interested in seeing the progress !
