    The end of my Discovery.

    Well, It has now gone.IMG_1456.jpgIMG_1457.jpgIMG_1458.jpg

    All I have left is a few bits and pieces that I removed from the car before departure, that I will offer on here in the near future.
    Merry Christmas to All.

    Hi,
    I'm not absolutely sure, either broken crank or dropped valve, whichever it is it sounds like a shovel full of gravel in a cement mixer. Either way it is not economical to repair and I no longer have the energy to pull it apart myself.

    We are going to sell the caravan and buy either a Rav4 or a Camry hybrid.

    To be less depressed then, we sold the D4, bought a P400 L663 and a new van, getting both set up for touring. Carpe Diem!

    My hunch for the D4 crankshaft issues is the less than adequate upper main bearing material combined with a crankshaft that can flex when the bearings allow, but I've yet to analyse my old D4's demise.
