hi jpb i had the same thing it aint cheep the other option is to try a prouduct called steel seal around £30 a bottle you would need 3 bottles for the td5 they say 1 bottle per ltr if that dont work then look at the expensive option it worked on my lightweight and save me a fortune just put into search engine steel seal it comes in a bright green colour and the people who sell it are a great help too pete
Cheers Pete, had a quick look on google and it sounds like its better for petrols rather than a diesel with all the pressure involved. Just had one quote back £2500 using new cylinder head rather than recon which he didn't think are a good option. Oh well its only money !!!

these are new good quality (better than land rover) and good price heads all you need to do is fit it sure you could find some one to fit it for less than that

Hello All!
I have a 2001 Discovery TD5 with 176,000 km on it.
I believe that it destroyed it's own cylinder head today. I'm just looking for confirmation that this is indeed the problem.
I drove the car around 40 mph and quite a bit of white smoke came out the back along with a knocking noise from the engine where for some reason the engine revved up by itself when I then shut it off.
Stopped, looked inside and found oil splattered about, but not really all that much.
I landed very fortunately on a family property and intend to go back shortly after the two of us have cooled off and check for oil in the coolant system and so on.
I concerned about this knocking sound it made... does that indicate serious damage to the cylinder wells?
Thanks all the same!
