Recommendations for replacement engine

Hi , I think my 2.7 lr3 is wrecked after cam belt problem so I need to get a idea of cost and where is recommended and is it worth doing if the car is only worth £4000 - £5000

May not be that.

Talk to a local LR independent and get diagnostic.

Could be a chain gone in the head

What can you do yourself?

Nothing?

6K easy....

If replacing it yourself technically (work) i recon 3K is possible if you have a good reliable low mileage replacement (jag) engine at hand, if not available (low mileage) add a other 1,5k for a LR short block...

At least not cheaper IMHO

I have a 2006 D3 for sale for £3000. Good engine, recently had the belts replaced and new oil pump. Its a good runner but it could be an option to strip for parts and you'd have lots of other spares? New auto gearbox about 5 years ago too.

Just a thought?
