Crankshaft failure
Looking for some advice!
Just had my disco diagnosed with a failed crankshaft
I’ve been told I’d be looking at around £5k to have it replaced?
Or to look at getting a new engine,
Any ideas as to best places to go?
All help appreciated
Thanks!!

Anyway, if you a. Decide to break it up, 2. have a beige interior, 3. it’s a 5 seater:

Fails on 3, bring a UK HSE so would have 7 seats. Nice try, no cigar.

Yes, well they should be. Mind you my D4 HSE ran around for a year with only 2 seats but that might have been down to me.

In the LHD world one could get a HSE with 5 or 7
