    TDV6 replacement options in Perth

    Hi All,
    I'm in a bit of strife. Over the school holidays I was coming back from Exmouth after a great 2 weeks exploring the region and my 2007 MY08 D3 TDV6 SE died on the side of the road. I had it towed to a mechanic in Carnarvon who had no idea what was wrong, so then I had it towed all the way back home to Perth. It's sitting at a local garage with a diagnosis of a suspected snapped crank shaft. Fun fun. Thus I'm staring down the barrel of a new engine and a big bill. I'd like to keep the car if the economics (e.g. repair cost vs. replacement) make sense.

    Can anyone help me with recommendations of a local garage capable of the job at a reasonable rate? Only one garage has seen it thus far (the one it's sitting at) who have quote $7k labour, plus either new engine ($15k) or used ($7-8K), plus fluids. I'm hoping for something a lot more reasonable otherwise I'll have to sell it as is. Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

    Talk to Dave Dover. He should be able to give you a realistic estimate of availability of alternative engines (TDV6 from Land Rover or Ford Territory) and costs involved.
    Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.

    mine went about 3 years ago at around 199,000km Had a low km territory donk fitted which cost $13.3k all up

    Vehicle might only be worth around $10-15k mind you new vehcile could be around the $80k mark which buys a lot of repairs.

    I have eleced to keep repairing my d3 probably for next 5 years and will see what it's condition is like then. I do under 10k km a year now.

    Sorry to hear as I have same model TDV6 replacement options in Perth with more kms.

    First goal is to find a good low km engine from a Ford Territory wreck. The rest is labour and procedure to swap parts between engines well defined on this forum.

    Look on Gum tree, EBay etc. or do you know anyone in the trade?

    Please add to the knowledge by keeping us informed, especially for us Perth folks.
