    Can anyone identify this tapping noise?

    Sorry to hear about your engine failure Martin. Bit of a worry if even Dazza won’t touch them.

    It is surprising that it sounds like your 3.0 has a failed bearing, and not a snapped crank. Will be interesting to find out more about the failure.

    Sourcing bearings shouldn’t be an issue, but the problem is you may still need a new crankshaft as well and I would be wary of re-using the crankshaft if it has spun a bearing. From what I understand you can only get a new crank if you buy a new short or long motor from JLR.

    RovaRange in Melbourne can also supply reconditioned engines from NWS Motor Services in the UK. Plus there is a mob in NSW on eBay who also supply reconditioned 3.0’s but not clear where they get their parts from so do your homework.

    Most of the problems with rebuilt 3.0’s seems to be if they have sourced a new crankshaft of unknown origin. Even the major rebuilders in the UK have been caught out by this.

    The indies I've spoken to were also surprised. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

    This is also what one of the indies mentioned to me, finding a new/good crank is most of the battle. Darren mentioned JLR no longer supply new motors.

    Thanks for that, I will enquire with both.

    death rattle. - YouTube

    This is what the “death rattle” sounds like. Caused by chewing a bearing. Grit teeth when viewing.. nasty..

    Are you sure thats correct,as the 3.0L was also used up until a couple of years ago in Disco 5?

    I haven’t made extensive enquiries so i’m only as sure as what I’ve been told. Not that I’m interested in spending 20k for a brand new engine anyway…

    Engine is out, sump and rocker covers off. Nothing obvious yet… Will have to keep pulling things apart!
