Im thinking I better sell it and get something new that tells me when to wake up and after listening to your story Im convinced of it, I just haven't the time left. But they are such wonderful vehicles and in my estimation beautiful. You did yours right.

Good option for Land Rover builds with high budgets. A Gen 3 5.3 LS can be swapped in the Disco 2 for about $5k (engine included) with the Alternative Conversion kit using the factory Land Rover transmission, which is a lot easier and less expensive swap overall.

@BeagleFerretTime 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, that price assumes you are using a junkyard 5.3 LS with who knows how many miles on it. Still a good option, but it'll cost a lot more than $5k for a good swap unless you can rebuild an engine and install it. I still might end up doing an LS swap, but I expect to pay at least $10k.

@aaronjohnston6625 2 жыл бұрын

@@BeagleFerretTime There are plenty of good junkyards out there that you can get an LS from a vehicle with a known history and mileage. You pay a little bit more for them than your typical junkyard engine, but I think it is well worth it to know why the vehicle is in the junkyard and how it was cared for. Even with a 100k miles, an LS still has a lot of life in it if it was well cared for. I’d trust a junkyard LS any day over a junkyard Rover V8.

@rmkinkaid Жыл бұрын

@@BeagleFerretTime yeah, I hear you. I got my 5.3LS for $500 and it had perfect compression. But I still didnt trust it. So I rebuilt it for about $600. I went with the ACE Kit for my 2004 D2. That was another $2400. Then the other stuff for the swap was about $1000. I did brand new OE parts for everything except the Coils and injectors. I went for longevity here. All in the swap cost me $4500. But the biggest thing anyone can achieve over the 4.0 or 4.6 is reliability. I would put a months salary as a bet to say the junkyard LS would outlast the 4.0 or 4.6. I have a D2 4.0 that I am planning a 2.8 Cummins swap this winter.. That one is a pretty penny. but crate brand new with every accessory.

@horsenuts1831 2 жыл бұрын

Oh dear. A Brit here. The basic Buick V8 engine that was fitted to just about EVERY British Rover / Land Rover V8 car is generally considered to be quite a reliable engine. So much so that it was a common swap for the Triumph 3 liter V8 fitted to the Triumph Stag (subsequently so much done that the original Truimph 3.0L cars are now worth more). That lightweight Buick engine ended up in EVERYTHING this side of the pond (Rover / Land Rover / Range Rover / TVR), and is essentially the 'English V8'. I have a recollection that it started out as an engine for marine applications, and because it was small, and light, it was considered perfect for smaller English cars (which had smaller engine bays). Still, I've owned a Land Rover, and I would never, ever, rely on one to get me home (great fun, but take out breakdown insurance).

@zandercraghead5355 2 жыл бұрын

I love my rover v8! It has been reliable to me as I’ve had to clean it up a bit since the previous owner. Seems the disco 1 for some reason is a loads more reliable than the disco 2 though, which is the builds I see mostly in the states like this one.

@shaunbava1801 2 жыл бұрын

The late run done by BMW was faulty, there were issues with the castings and metallurgy. A D1 or defender from the 90s is more likely to have its original block than an 03 or 04 dii. The D1 was the better off road truck anyway.

@yjmsrv 2 жыл бұрын

The Buick V8 was over-worked by the time BMW got ahold of it for these trucks- that they designed. The LS is really a perfect replacement- still a "GM" V8- not designed by BMW's terrible engineers with the same problems they design into their own vehicles- so it's almost like going back to the original source that Land Rover used before BMW took over (however briefly). It's a aluminum V8- just reliable engineered- easy to fix and parts are cheap. In my opinion the Discover is still the most handsome SUV on the road anywhere- if we can keep more of them reliably on the road (and off-road) then this swap is a no-brainer. I have a new 4.6 sleeved motor in mine because these swaps were not available 6 years ago- but believe me- I'm pulling that POS out and putting an LS in it as soon as I can. Might video the whole process too- since no one has done that yet.

I need to re-gasket the valve covers, front cover, and replace the heads with refurbished ones so replacing the head gasket every 60k miles goes away (been done 3 times on here and it's at 167k). and replace the front-left O2 sensor harness, because the valve cover oil gusher has rendered it useless.

I’m so happy with the off road capability of my disco 2. Solid front axles are the best!!

Turns out the only thing you need to make a Land Rover reliable is an extra $40,000 cash laying around.

Easier to just buy a Silverado and stick a Land Rover sticker on it. They you don't have to worry about all the other failing Land Rover bits not associated with the drivetrain

Got me a 2004 Td5 disco down in the carribean and have been doing a lot of work to get her back in shape. I wish we got the Td5 back stateside, looking to do a tune next!!! Makes me want to get one stateside to throw in a Cummins R28!!!

Always thought they looked cool, but I'll stick with my 80 series. Reliability and peace of mind goes a long way.

i have a standard 2.5 landrover no extras only steel bumpers. if any car hits me they are wrote off and my baby has never let me down. It is by far the best jeep you could own. 166000 miles and still roaring down the road. i have pushed it to 190 kmph on motorways took it off road on multiple occasions and pulls trucks off of building sites that get bogged. it is a one of a kind machine and completely bulletproof.

I had an ‘01 years ago. Liked the capability. Hated the unreliability. I would like one just like this!

Charles is one of those guys that's priceless to have as a friend. What a gorgeous well put together vehicle... This is the only Land Rover I would ever buy.
