Do you have any idea why it keeps blowing?
Mine has blown once(up near the front exhaust port).
When removed it looked different to the replacement I got for it.
The one on there(no idea who and when it was installed) had a flat looking face.
The one I'd bought had a raised section of ports. A bit confusing at first, and with limited experience back then of 300 tdi details ... it made sense to install it with the raised sections facing the manifolds(not the head).
That was near on 100K klms ago. I assume it's still fine as it don't sound leaky.
EDIT: had a quick peek, and it seems the LR OE part(ERR3785) is supposedly a Victor Reinz manufactured part.
Found the VR catalog and they list their own part number for it as 71-35509-00 but also refer this part back to the LR part number too.
