This is the say hello thread Smile ...you might be best starting a new thread for wider discussion. Unfortunately this thread is too big for me to split you out of .

Engine Seized........!!!

Discovery 3, '57 plate HSE with 123k on the clock, with all the kit on, FSH (not dealer) - the engine has recently 'seized'...... and when I say seized - my indie has been unable to turn the crank at all..... Have been advised either crank broken or bearings gone...

I have been advised that it is NEW ENGINE TIME - v. v. disappointed, but s**t happens - thoughts please?

Big Cry Big Cry

Can't help with the engine, but interested to hear what Indy you are using. I shall need some work done soon and can't decide where to go.

Have been dealing with a local indie just outside Cirencester, not LR specific but has history with LR, and one himself and therefore familiar...... Not sure if that is helpful?

Could be a good basis for an electric conversion. Strip out engine and gearbox, drop in a 700 kW electric motor (a wee bit of engineering may be required), inverter, controller and the biggest effing battery you can find, probably at least 100 kWh.
Would be awesome and you'll beat LR to it.
There are firms in the UK who will do this. No idea of cost but probably comparable to a new engine - just much better.

United Kingdom 2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Adriatic BlueDiscovery 4

Hoping to get some help with my Discovery 4. I have just got it back from my local landrover mechanic (not dealership) after having the front lower arms replaced and turbo drain tube modification fitted.

The first fault I noticed was the fuel gauge is working only intermittently. When it's not working it says there no fuel.
I then noticed the one touch window function is not working on all 4 windows. (Tried to reset this using advise from other threads on this site but no joy)
Also had a couple of glitches with the infotainment system but since sorted themselves.
I haven't had any of these faults before.

I just wondered if this could be a simple fix by re-setting the cars computer or if there is more to it!

Many thanks

Ross

Put your question up as another thread. It'll be lost in a seized engine thread.

As for the seized engine. Get a Jag engine from Disco Mikey's source and get Woody 32 to fit it. Thumbs Up
