My brother is on his 3rd Disco......

Each one has managed to land him a BIG garage bill.......

Including failed turbo/autobox.

I think his first one a 3.5V8 was the worst, spent most of its time on the back of a low loader  

the other two he's had were/are TD's

Not our favourite BMW unit per chance!

More than likely as they are 2.5's 6cyl, tho never had the inclination to pop the bonnet on them to take a butchers  

He does drive them quite hard......i always find it quite amusing when he pulls away.........lots of diesel grunt noise going on.......but not much movement   Probably he's got used to flooring them on take off to get them to move

Started with TDI300 direct injection 4 cylinder descended from the older Diesel one.

Later ones had a 5 cylinder Storm the TD5 I Think it is related to the 4 cylinder TD in the MOntego Maestro

older tdi cambelt not to bad to change, waterpump and front cover off plus fan and cowl, genuine parts a bit pricey just done one in the workshop. on the 4x4 note i have just got a cheap swb mitsubishi shogun 2.5td, what a great old truck, drives like a car and not bad on diesel either!

Hi,

You mean Tdis, no TD models were made for discoverys

Do you know of a Diesel engine that is not injected then?

The LR had an indirect injection lump, the TDI300 was a direct injection version

2.5 N/A unit and the 2.5TD unit used in the 90/110 don't have injection

2.5 N/A unit and the 2.5TD unit used in the 90/110 don't have injection

All Diesels are injection, the older indirect engine had swirl chambers which could fall out, the DIscovery had a direct injection turbo version

I have seen inside one - a cousin owns a 88 Diesel refitted with a  Montego engine, a TD300 Discovery and a 109 Christmas tree with Salisbury axles
