Hi all.
Well after spending over a week getting my Landy up to MOT standards I got it out the workshop yesterday morning happy in the knowledge it would pass without a problem.
Unfortunally a couple of miles from the test station I started to loose power, looked down and saw the oil light was on, pulled over but it was took late.
Engine is knackered and had to get it towed back to the workshop.
As a saving grace I had bought another Disco as a breaker last week and still had the 300tdi lump so I'm gonna fit that.
But to make sure this doesn't happen again I'm gonna fit a new oil pump to it before it goes in.
My question is whilst the engine is out what else should I consider changing?
My list so far consists of:
Oil pump - STC3407
Cam belt
Water pump
modified lower pulley
tensioner
oil
oil filter
plus possibly sump sealer and cam cover gasket
Is there anything else I should consider before I get the engine in?
Any suggestions would be greatly appricated.
Cheers Chris
