This will be one expensive fix if your shipping it to LR! If your shells have been chewed up the crank is likely beyond recovery now. There have been reports of the engine snapping the crank and still running on 4 cylinders which could give you metal particles. You could try a magnet on the particles to see if it’s steel.

Contact Oval on this forum as they have tons of crank experience.

Just used magnet and nothing from the filter took to it, is this a good sign? Super exp at landrover but at the moment it’s worth nothing, if fixed I’ll have something to sell....which I will pretty bloody quick.

Possibly the lack of oil killed it. If it was jacked up at an acute angle to change the tyres (possibly with the engine running to keep the suspension up?) it may have sucked air.

Get another engine is probably your best bet if salvage. You have Ford Territory engines over there and one of your chaps fitted one a while ago.

Thank you, I feel it has something from being jacked up and getting the new tyres. Just don’t understand why it had not prompted for more oil. Would you use a territory engine in the car personally?

id be astounded if just changing a tyre caused the problem , its well documented the disco3 is a ticking time bomb when it comes to this sort of failure and considering these 4x4 have a baffled sump for going to silly angles for off roading then the tyre theory holds no water in my eyes

Fair call, it’s a disco 4 if that makes any difference.
