The casting numbers are different, the oil hole in the 3rd main is in a different position and possibly in the 2nd main too, both of which are adjacent to thin cranked sections and at least 1 oil hole has more chamfer so hopefully improvements have been made.
Many of oil supply holes are in different places.Quote:

Unfortunately I only just found this forum.
After owning a 2014 Discovery 4, TDV6 for 4 years, 160k km - full service history from Southern LandRover in Cannington. Absolute brilliant car, I had the engine fail yesterday. Quoted $35k for a new engine. I’m gutted..
That's no good!

How goes the rebuild, Fabsky?
I'd be having a chat with that dealer and pushing for a replacement.Quote:

When you say full service history, how many klms between oil changes did you do?
There is some feeling that LR's schedule of 23,000 is partially the cause of seized bearings.
Many of us stick to 8-12,000 klms.
Hope you get a successful outcome from LR.
Can’t remember the exact amount, but I had a talk with TRS here in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago, and they were talking sub $20k for a low mileage TDV8 installed. I didn’t get an exact figure but I was surprised as I’ve heard that it was like $30-50k, but I got the feeling that $25k or so was about right
