Hi Jamie Boyd Music. I hope all goes well for you. It was our first time taking the body off and it was below freezing, which didn't help. It's not that difficult to take the body off, providing you have a lift. Our donor engine was out of a Jaguar so there was quite a lot of work swapping all the ancillaries over. Good luck.

Same as you I used a Ford Territory Engine so there was a lot of swapping over. All went well. The hardest part was getting the first couple of transmission bolts on and making sure we didn’t jam up the torque converter. Once that happened. I fitted the driver side engine mount (generator/alternator side) and it was pretty easy from there. The heat shields under the front guards caused a bit of anxiety. LOL I am a month or so down the track now and just towed a 2.5T Caravan 120km 2 days ago and it pulled like a train. Love my Discovery!

Glad to hear it all went well. We had a problem with losing coolant...we'd left off one of the radiator hose clips, but found it before she over heated. She's done a couple of thousand trouble free miles, much of that towing a tri-axle trailer.

I hope it all goes well for you.

It certainly seems to be. Prone to crankshaft issues.

@@61special and for a long time the fact that landrover didnt drop it for the 3.6 just shows how much they want to improve the name of the brand the 3.6 has its problems to but selling that 3ltr to people with a known problem is a joke
