Hello Newbie here

My discovery 4 has suspected crank failure and was thinking about a recon engine.
Has anyone on here had one fitted from a reputable company that they can recommend?

I know LR recon ones are expensive.

Thanks Rob

Suspected?
I wouldn't think its a difficult thing to diagnose. So why is it suspected? how/when did it happen?

Hello happens last week.
Took it to a local specialist and he diagnosed it as the crank.
I unexpectedly started it briefly when unloading of the transport vehicle & it was running lumpy.

I think they are 5k up front before they will even lay a spanner on your car for engine jobs?

Generally owners that can't repair the vehicle themselves, often sell it on as spares or repairs. It's sad but true that repairs of this fault generally exceed the value of the vehicle.
