SDV6 Short Engine

Could anyone tell me the price for a sdv6 (short engine) if there available? And where i could get one?

Or point me in the direction of a company that could rebuild my engine (im unsure if parts are now available?)

TIA

Hi Ben,

I understand a new block can be sourced but its not cheap, ie £ thousands even with an exchange of "new for old". Plus there's the cost of fitting and all the other bits which will need to be replaced/stripped/rebuilt as "par for the course" if you get my meaning. You might be better served to source a full engine from a crash damaged car, as I would imagine there might be a reasonable availability of used supply in the UK.

Even so, you're still looking at a hefty bill should you be fortunate enough to locate a good used unit. There may be other members who can advise you on UK supply, and perhaps even offer direct help.

As a matter of interest, can I ask what has happened to provoke your quest for a new short block?

Landrover around £4,600 + Vat and gaskets and all the other bits and bobs last time I asked.

Other than Landrover I would be very wary of any of the after market claims for rebuilding these engines.

There are lots of horror stories, of people paying for rebuilds and them lasting only weeks and no ability to get your money back and avoid any of the e bay companies who offer turn key fixed cost deals, all are scams and the price goes up when they have your car in bits and you over a barrel.

There is a huge market for a good company to do discovery sport and RR engines, but none of the big names have taken on the challenge, which in my view tells you something. let you can but engines for series 1,2 & 3 no issues along with all the petrol RR units, with good guarantees in a competitive market.

good luck with the challenge.

Sadly been there done that on both a D4 and a RR. Big Cry
