Hello Disco 3 people, I have but the bullet and bought an early 55plate Disco 3 that had a new engine in 2013 under warranty. Does anyone know how I can tell if the oil pump cover is the old type or the new reinforced type by looking at it? I'm new to Discos my usual carriages are Defenders. Let's see how it goes. Many thanks

I believe you can tell from looking at it. Pretty sure @gstuart posted some pics on here.

Hope you kept the defender as a backup .

I second the suggestion to watch LRTime on the Tube.
Christian and Vera share an impressive knowledge and enthusiasm for Disco 3 and 4. They know nothing about Toyotas!
