[Doctor Gollum]

I know someone who put two engines into a 2.7 in fairly quick succession... The only saving grace was that the car was cheap and the first replacement engine might have been more worn than it seemed...l

Cars with the 2.7 seem to be more durable, which would suggest that the problem is the application rather than the engine.

The 3.0 seems to be more durable.

Haggle hard and take a punt, but not at that price... 

Yes

That's to say the 2.7 doesn't like hauling the 2.5t lardarsed Disco/Rangie around, buy is happy, and therefore durable, enough in a 407 Coupe or an S type

The 3.0, having a bit more oomph about it and doesn't seem to object to dragging the 4x4 gubbins around.

About 246bhp over 195bhp I think roughly speaking. 

And a corresponding slug of torques too

£7499 for a soon to be 12 year old derv agricultural that is partly shagged.

Of course none of the above comments regarding the crank make any sense 

As the crank has to transfer the force produced by the pistons into torque and pass it out, if the 3.0 is higher power there is more force and more torque (unless its the same torque higher in the rev range.....which it isn't). SO the 3.0 has more torque and greater crankshaft loads.....so something has changed (I guess Peugeot would know best).

Pug produced parts assembled by Ford in Welsh Wales (I mean, what could possibly go wrong!) until about 2012, then production and sourcing moved to JLR engine plant where changes were made to sort component issues

I believe my astra engine started out as a Fiat.

£12999 if it was running right!

Be careful, Tigger. As you said earlier, if it was anything like an easy fix, he'd have done it himself. To lose five grand, he must know it's a big fix.

Because a good one is an excellent car.


But good ones are rare.

Yes lucky it's over the other side of the country in a Covid hotspot really! 

If it was nearby I'd definitely go and have a look.

They won't have to wait that long then

Your probably right. Think the old heart had developed a misfire. Might even consult a quack in the new year.
