ive had enough

(1/2) > >>

meader:
my disco back last week had a engine problem building up 2 much water pressure well after nearly a week of working on it and 2 more head gaskets the last 1 i just finished fitting and guess wot  more probs i got oil mayenasie in the dip stick the filer neck no heaters and 2 much wwater pressure again so i think its broken so im woundering wot my disco is worth as it is now or wot someone would offer me for it

lightweight-love:
Sounds drastic but could be faster and easier to just get new engine?

wizard:
Hi
I assume its a 300 Tdi. Either you have something wrong with the head or block or you are [!Expletive Deleted!] something up when changing the head gasket (sorry to be blunt)

If you flog it as is you might only get a few hundred quid for it, for the same amount you can get a replacement engine.
You might get more if you strip it and flog it in parts, but that's a pain in the ass.

If the underside & boot floor is all ok, I would replace the engine.

Regards
wizard :twisted:

meader:
yes i no but to be honest i have had enough of working on it every other weekend and i seem to be fixing it more ofter than i get to drive it

crazymac:
Take the winch and bumper off and flog separately (or indeed keep for the next one)

The rest as Wizard says is a couple of hundred max. With a decent engine they are worth £400 max (obviously ones with no MOT which I assume yours has)
