[For Sale] 2009 Discovery 4 with seized engine
Land Rover discovery 3.0 TDV6 reg2009
Light blue 7 seats full body trim - GS spec, electric windows, Thatcham alarm immobiliser, alloys, unused tow bar, Average mileage - Just under 80K
Has wanted for nothing, fully serviced.....
However
Engine seized due to oil loss from crank shaft seal - This has now been replaced as well as a new timing belt fitted.
Reg is DU59UKG.
I would like to think it's still worth 6K, am I overly optimistic? Open to offers.
Please excuse the stock photo, it's dark all the time here jus now, If interested it's not beyond the wit of man to organise delivery to Aberdeen or the like.

Not one of the early D4 I’ve looked at were 2.7, all 3.0. The only 2.7 D4 I’ve seen were commercial.

ok that would make sense the last early D4 I looked at was a converted commercial.
so that would make this one a 3ltr 6 speed?

Hi,
Can I just confirm the garage changed the oil seal and and belts on a seized engine but left you with a non runner? Seems a bit odd
Assume an engine is £4-5k plus fitting?

Yup, that’s the gist if it. I wasn’t involved in the process.
Had a quick look on eBay and 4 to 5 k for a good engine seems to be about the going rate.
There are forum users who will know a lot more about it than me.

Think it's around 18-20hrs labour for one of these to be fitted.

I think only manual commercial D4s, even saw one in a dealers. D3 cars had switched to auto only well before then so D4 cars prob just followed on.

Aahhh understood !! ...here the D3 always existed, until the end, in both versions of the gearbox and the D4 just followed on ... for a while only!! ....I have always thought that a D4 with 255 h.p. and manual box would have been a hellish beast !! the perfect disco I think!! Can you imagine it? the porsche cerrera of the green tracks!!lost in translation!
