Right after this hassle http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=46746
I now have the engine running. But she is smoking alot Its blue smoke so must be oil burning. Also took it for a spin and it made a metel like braking sound then it made a cluck sound white smoke came out of the exhurst so turned it off had a look around could not see anything so started her back up she ran ok no more white smoke just back to the blue smoke but now i can hear something like grinding sound from the front end of the engine . So got this week to sort her out as i need it to take me 120 miles to work next tuesday. Just getting fed up of it now. Thinking of just buying a scrapped v8 disco or rangy and droping the engine in my disco.

Blummin eck mate you don't seem to be having much luck with that disco?

Disco_Stu:
White smoke is never a good thing, it usually means a head gasket.

If you have the time/finance to drop a new engine in it then i'd do it and take my time on a rebuild of the original.

This may not be the most popular opinion but you'll know you have a sorted motor. It's what I intend to do one day. I'll include the gear and transfer box too.
