Thread: D3 Diesel Front Timing Cover Explosion

Hpfp is a ford part, turbo is generic, and injectors are common to lr and ford, they are both the same engine basically

Jc

Don't forget the HPFP, injectors etc are available new from the UK at pretty fair prices. Certainly nothing like the $3500 - $5000 the dealers here are quoting for HPFP replacement!

BC, can you please update us on your impressions of the swap over, a year down the track?

Still chugging along fine... No issues to speak of hen it comes to Engine etc...

my D3 did the timing belt thing and destroyed the motor. Was about 20,000km after I had timing belts replaced but not the oil pump housing. Was advised that it was optional and not to waste my money


No redress when the engine beat itself to death. Hasa low km Territory engine fitted by same indie LR specialist in Brisbane, you can guess who.


about 12,000 to 15,000 km on it and 6 months warranty. Engine going strong but but have a awful rumble noise that is getting worse.


Not sure if it is transmission or tranfer case bearing causing it.


Goes in for service next month so will get them to advise.


Oh the other bit that gets swapped with the territory heart transplant is the engine mounts and bellhousing, they get swapped from the original LR donk.


cheers
me

Can anyone advise if the territory flexplate is the same as the LR one? Buying an extremely low KM unit in the next couple of days and need to know if I have to get the wrecker to leave the flexplate on...

So the original motor's dead, if yes is the cause known?

Will had a strange noise and then found the serpentine belt tensioner out of position, followed by total failure of tensioner in <this thread> a couple of weeks ago. Things still sounded bad after belt was removed in his last post. So perhaps it wrecked a few things ....
