Fuel Injectors / Cylinders ?? Not really sure...
Hey there - so I bought a bit of a crap Disco 3 just under a year ago. Paid £10k for it - thought it was a good deal as a low mileage (69k - 57 plate) but up in Scotland the alternator went costing us £500 to get it back on the road. Not covered in the garage's 3 month warranty Then a few months later the electronic hand brake went costing £550 to replace, then just two new tyres and tracking cost us £350! Then the wishbones went that was another £700... now it's just died on us and two garages have not been able to find what's up. When they ran the tests on it 2 injectors were failing - they replaced them and one is still not working so they thought maybe cylinders. (By the way this makes no sense to me - just typing what the mechanic said to me!). Cylinders came back working fine so they reckon it's the engine and in which case it's not economically viable to fix it and I may as well try and sell it as it is as a do-er upper. Only problem is I'm hugely in debt now thanks to all the repairs it's needed and an outstanding £8k loan I took out in the first place to buy it which still needs paying off. I'm going to try and get it over to a specialist this week near Petersfield to have a look but I can't help but feel very upset and deflated and poor. Can anyone here tell me they've had similar and it was a quick fix and not too expensive ....! Hoping and praying for a miracle right now. Thanks
