Ukraine 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Barolo BlackDiscovery 3
Engine broken/Discovery Doctors/Engine rebuilld

So it looks like my engine has gone. Bl Censored dy brexit.

I will ship it back to the UK to deal with this but as normal funds are a little tight.

My plan was to use DM in a more planned and budgeted situation than I find myself in but the distance is a fair bit further so the transportation costs will increase and Mike only fits new units.

I have been seeing a few other companies being mentioned doing rebuilds with genuine cranks. One being Discovery Doctors at Melton Mowbray. Has anyone had any dealings with them?

If you prefer send me a direct message.

I love my D3 so repair is the only option but now was not the best time.

True. Hopefully some feed back on the aforementioned company.

Sorry to hear this.

A Google search for "Discovery Doctors Melton Mowbray":- https://www.google.com/search?q=Discovery+Doctors+Melton+Mowbray reveals nothing; and a search of this forum only reveals this thread. I certainly would avoid them under these circumstances.

I would seriously consider the, relatively, small additional expense of shipping to DM. If you really can't do this consider Oval Autos, who are well thought of here:-

https://www.ovalautos.com/

Good luck.

Oval's don't do 2.7 anymore (as it's not economical)

Oval Autos responded and will no longer do D3 engines.

Send it to DM and ask for the V8 diesel option!

Wasn't there mention of one of the forum members in South West England (Taunton?) that does engine replacements? (Sorry - I'm new here and don't remember the name) It's a bit closer to France for transport....
