So you own a truck with a sports exhaust ....snigger
I own a truck with an exhast that is supposedly sporty... I think what they meant to say was 'Discovery sports (well we took a silencer out) exhaust'
Won't be cheaper than my £20 cat back exhaust.
Nope, that it certainly wont...
I can assure you your sporty disco is very sporty compared to my 2.25 diesel 109

Not right now it isnt, my 3 cylinder disco doesn't like to get over 20mph right now, the new engine should sort that out though, usually it will actually hit 85mph, it does about 15mpg mind

what happened to the third piston ?
The fourth, its still there but the back two lobes on the camshaft are broken so its not actualy being used, its more of a diesel pump now supplying the exhaust with plenty of fuel to burn, I like to think of it as my top secret spy gadget for getting away from 'ze germans (at 20mph)
How the hell did you manage to break off a couple of lobes !!!!! Even I couldn't do that

Cheers Geof, was a really good day recon we need to do a group visit one Sunday as we would get a discount, really enjoyed the fact that the site has all cover'd as it can be as hard or as easy a challenge as you want and no orrible sand like bures to ruin you motor, although I did embarase myself a bit when I got myself cross axled and the only person to come along at the time was a jimmy
but still managed to pull me out after plenty of wheel spinning

well had an excellent day yesterday at essex off road. we surprised how muddy it was there what with the warm weather all week. we had 5 vehicles in the end, two green 90s which were still working at the end of the day, the only series 3 which blow a hole in the radiator 10mins after getting there, dark blue 90 which broke its rear chassis spring mount and the gold rangie pick up which was working fine till it went to leave a fuel relay went, fixed now though. glad my winch come in handy in pulling you out buddah, you were well and truly stuck in that hole. i did not realise you were on here til i see the photo eariler.
only took a few photos this time. i will post some more when some of the rest of the group send me some if people want to see them.

Well I'm not sure exactly what's happened but the rear 2 push rods ain't moving, the followers are new and so are the sliders, either the lobes have gone or the crank has snapped, they do wobble about a bit but not even slightly in time with the engine. It's cheaper to drop in a new engine and strip mine, will be interested to see what's gone. I think a valve cap jumped and caused the damage, have had the head off and there was no contact there, all very odd...

I'm taking the gearbox off my breaker tomorrow Jon, so the engine will be easy to drop out whenever after that

You mean the camshaft has snapped? If the crank had snapped you would be in a whole world of pain and misery
I would be tempted to whip the lift pump off and see if you can see anything
