Watching from France where I have a Jaguar XF 3.0 D with some serious issues and Respect to you young man.
Truly enjoyed the video. Great and clean assembly. Car condition is amazing as well for 240k km. No rust.
Superb work and well done. Great to see a young guy who knows his stuff.
I’m have been asked to take on this job and just watched you video. Excellently done & recorded. No BS, thanks for sharing mate 🙏👍👍👍
This is great video, I've also in countered this kind of work. The issue of the engine is heavy knocking noise, as we inspected the oil condition by removing the oil pan found out metal chips in the oil and in the oil filter as well. We perform body lift to replace engine assembly. Thank you sir and more power.
Nice to see you doing more builds! Keep up the good work👍
Full marks to you young man for taking on a job like this singlehandedly. I wonder if there's any of these LandRovers in the world that don't have problems. All great ideas poorly executed.
Why oh why do people love to sh*t on Land Rovers? - have they never heard of Ford DCTs crapping out regularly? GM's 3.6V6 failing early in its life? CVTs (Nissan?) failing... etc etc. give us a break mate - plenty of other manufacturers' stuff out there poorly executed
@@sodbury6426 they have a well deserved reputation...for unreliability.
Tem as v6 gasolina,que são bem raras , são as únicas que vejo ninguém reclamar de alguma grave
Mate you are a legend, amazing skills. Made it look easy but I know it’s not at all.
I am doing an Engine Swap myself at the moment with a Discovery 3. Body on. Great video mate. Well done!
It’s a mission body on.
Impressive job mate... loved your work
Thanks for the video Bruz. More useful than the original Bruzs whole career.
Great work dan 👍🏽
Nice work fella. Nicely done .
Fantastic job man,Nice two See how specialist works!
Hvl.
Holy moly, what a job! Great work
Just like that, great job, you made it look easy.
Great video mate definitely jealous of how easy it is with a hoist and the body off
Is definitely a challenge with the body on love your garage / shed setup
Get a hoist mate, actually the best thing
Impressive😁👍 That crossover pipe is almost impossible to get at with the chassis on.
Wow. Impressive. Great job
Best body off vid for the discovery I have seen , well done
Great video mate, well done!
Thanks so much, it means a lot coming from you guys.
Legends. Disco3 is my cheapo aged up/downgrade & I love it!
Huge task well done.
great job and material
Wow! I’ve watched the video 3 times. Well done champ take my hat off to you doing this by yourself.
I’m about to have the timing belts changed on mine, one shop said body needs to come off😢 I was horrified another said it can be done with body on, good to see it’s relatively easy to remove the body.
Keep up the great videos 👍
Body doesn't have to come off , the timing belts are in the front it's only the fuel
Pump belt that's at the back and it's a bloody hassle but can be done from on top of the engine with some yoga moves
Hi I'm hooked, more videos please. Thanks.
Respect. Your very methodical….great video….think I might try 😂
What a great video!
Good job brother 🎉
I've been watching some channels do the D3 engine swaps with body on. Wow, the body off method wins hands down. I'd buy a hoist just to save my knuckles and swearing.
Wow that's awesome
very good Colombia 💪
well done
Impressive :-)👌
A very nice job young man! I'm extremely impressed with how you did it, a lift helps though epecially as you did it all on your lonesome, maybe the dog will forgive me, but he's not a lot of use handing you the spanner's is he? lol The lump sounds twenty times better than the old one.
thanks Q..
you got some great help from you dog lol
What did engine cost & do these gearboxes last long?
Your a good man doing this.. I do wonder if the service intervals doesn't help with the crankshaft problem?
I'm not sure, I bought the car with the knock. I've seen them go over 300,000kms no problems and then some blow up at 100,000kms just happens.
This video is amazing! Any idea if this engine would fit a 4.4L V8 Disco 3 (LR3)? I would like to do a swap because the stock 4.4L is just terrible on the gas. Sadly there isn't a diesel LR3 offered in the US and swapping a LS engine is really costly. Thank you very much!
You probably could, it would be a bit tricky to get working correctly a 2.7 would be easier as they came in the Disco 3.
Great Job!!! Have any idea as to why I'd be getting oil sweating into the air filter box from the line with the MAF which feeds to the secondary turbo?
Yeah normally when that happens it is the turbo bypass valve. The valve either gets rust and sticks or the vacuum supply to the valve has an issue.
How long did it take you to replace the engine??
Great work man. Omg. Balls of steel. Man how much did that engine cost you ?
The engine cost me around $5000 for a long block but I had to use 3 dead engines to get parts to make 1 good one. A second hand one will set you back 10k and a factory rebuilt will be around 27k from land rover in Australia they were prices I had gotten.
Hi, great work young man and not a DAD in sight .lol . I do hope you work for your self , if not your Boss should triple your salary . How many miles had it covered ? as I assume the crank had snapped . Love these cars but the agro puts me off . All the best as you go along . What was the cost as still thinking .🤔 🙃
You are a god 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊
where did you buy the engine
The Bruz shirt is the real winner of this video mate. Well done on the swap question though if you were to do the same again how long would this generally take and ball park figure? Currently looking at having this done for me.
Haha thanks mate, the job took me around 20hours or about 3 days. I have done this job heaps of times before but.
@@AboutTheBuild is there a way I can get in touch via email or something? Cheers
@@jamesm3268 yeah through Instagram if you like @danieljhotham is my thingy
I’m just wondering what’s the mileage on the old engine before you put in the new/recon engine? Usually them discover 3.0 engine can last for how many kilometres?
It had 250,000kms on the old engine. I've seen them over 300,000km and I've also seen them blow up at 60,000km just depends on how hard it gets driven.
Was just wondering did you get the engine from Kirrawee, NSW?
Nah, a friend of mine who has a machine shop did it. He normally does performance stuff but helped me out. The hardest part is finding a crank that isn't cracked.
Wow!!!!
Nice work. How’d you capture the AC gas?
I have the equipment to de-gas and re-gas cars so just did that.
Great video! How many miles had the old engine done? Slipped bearings/broken crankshaft is a common fault with those unfortunately
240,000kms
The problem stems with a faulty oil pump which doesn't deliver enough oil pressure on start which prolongs the cranking time without sufficient oil going to the crank bearings. After a while, pitting corrosion sets in, and the heating of a dry bearing on cranking will change the alloy grain structure therefore making the bearing slip, blocking the oil hole in the bearing seat of the block. Kaput! Change the oil pump to the new oil pump design as per the service bulletin and you should be fine. It is great engine with a tonne of torque.
@@peanuts2105 The oil pump was an issue on the Discovery 3, the crank still goes even with later models
@@josephjohnston1894 very few crank issue on the later ones. I think every manufacturer has its problems. I do constantly hear about BMW engines dissembling themselves. I just think a very few dodgy ones you only hear about gains traction on the internets. I just think if they were really that bad, how come I see them everywhere in the country or town. If they were crap no one would buy one. That’s why you don’t see Alfa’s or French cars nowadays. Now that is weird.
@peanuts2105 there must be about 10000 atleast with a broken crankshaft. There's an official poll that's up to 3300, imagine how many more have happened to people that aren't on the forums etc
Bloody hell bro. Well done!
Love how modular these cars are, although engine does seems very complex! Is the discovery 3 considerably less complex or easier to work on?
No
They are pretty much the same to work on
Already bought one and figured most of it out, thank you!
Beautiful cars. @@AboutTheBuild
Я подумал что будет замена двигателя от BMW M57 или от 3UZ.
Почему не поставил комплект двигателя 3.6TDV8 ?
Impressive. I wonder is there any other engine that fits LR4 that could be used (from Ford, or ...)?
Tem um vídeo na internet com um motor mwm numa D3
Boa noite esse motor que vc tirou por que ele começou a bater e fazer o mesmo barulho Att obrigado
Diesel. 3.0L Diesel, if anyone is wondering. I was looking for the 3.0L S/C gas burner.
nice! I think you made it look way too easy. How long did it all take?
I know if I was doing that on mine, I'd have spent a week washing the chassis and everything that I couldn't get to with the car complete!
It takes about 3 days or 16 hours, longer if you have never done it before.
@@AboutTheBuild 16 hours is amazing! I would have assumed a whole week 40 hours. You certainly made it look easy enough.
Has anyone ever dropped a V-8 crate motor from the States in these??
Hey mate, this is an excellent video, I am about to replace a cracked crossover pipe on my D4 . Im told this is acheivable by dropping the gearbox. would you agree with this approach as opposed to the full body off.
You can do them by taking the gearbox out but when I do them I take the body off I find it much easier and quicker.
@@AboutTheBuild Thanks mate, I am watching Outback Discovery video just now and its making the body off look easier. With body off, at least you can get to everything without the tight spaces. Cheers for replying.
How long did it take u to do the whole job from start to finish ?
About 3 days or around 16 hours.
When the body is being lifted off where is the steering disconnected?
It is disconnected from the column underneath the plastic box that has the brake booster in it. It is 1 bolt then slides off
TIMING BELT????
Hi . What do you drink during your rebuild? Thanks
Mainly tea
Great video but how many hours did it take?
About 16 hours
Sorry if you said so in the vid...
Is this car a keeper for you or something you're going to sell?
I fixed it up for me to drive around I drove it for a while, but moved it on as I want to get a V8 Range Rover because I do a bit of towing and the V8s tow very nicely.
You made this look like a breeze
will we get any updates on the vl?
Yeah next video is all about the vl
Any ideas where to get a new motor?
The best place is through land rover themselves they do factory rebuilt.
Can this engine be swapped without lifting the body off the chassis if i don't have a lift?
I've seen it done before without lifting the body, it took the guy weeks to get it done and he crushed alot of the pipes down the sides around the turbo. He also told me that he did alot of swearing while doing it.
Check with LR Time... Christian and Vera did some meticulous Disco 3 engine rebuild there
@@oliverwabwire2836yes indeed and without body off, it was on his friend Fabian's D4.
How much and how long to get that job done??
It took me 3 days to do the job about 16 hours.
Are you based in Sydney and do you do private work, I need a swap done as of Saturday...
That's not good news, I'm a few hours out of Sydney and not currently taking on private work I'm too busy with other stuff at the moment.
Bonjour, j'ai un Discovery 4 avec le moteur cassé (3.0 sdv6), mais les moteurs 3.0 sont très chers, je peux mettre un 2.7 tdv6 (c'est moins cher). Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.
You can but the fuel pump is taller. This means that the breather is different, it exits from a different hole on the block. You have to be inventive with a breather routing solution.
excellent coverage, great vid quality, what camera did you use and where on the planet are you
I use my wife's Canon DSLR I'm not sure the model, a GoPro and my google pixel phone. Mix it up a bit. I'm in Australia aswell.
bonsoir,je cherche un vilbrequin tdv6 référence 9x2qba rang rever diesel.
1 men job ❤❤
Excellent video........but basically you are swapping a really crap citroen engine with a short fragile crank for another one. Mine failed at 44k .
Pretty much haha, that's how I bought it with a dead motor. I've done a few others which are still going strong and have done over 150k.
Hey man any updates?
I wish there was, I've been pretty busy with work and life. Hopefully soon I'll have something worth a video.
Could make a living doing it 😂
I just pulled a motor on one of these. If you pull the heads first. The engine comes right out fairly easy without pulling apart the whole front end like that. We like to pull the heads first and when installing the motor back. Do it without the heads on. It’s not that bad.
Its much more awkward work removing the cylinder heads in situ.
Lads wat other engine could be put in to replace that ford rubbish
Love how you get all the nonsense out of the way get it out strip it down show the new engine rebuild it back fit it rebuild the body done 10 minutes video UA-camrs Shall take example of you hard work keep it up and shout if you need any parts
Je suis mecanicen automobile 10ans
Great cars tbe 3 and 4 let down by crappy ford engines , the only decent motor is tbe jaguar v 8 and then only just
Great effort, mate. I'd feel the need to paint/treat the chasing 🫣🤣,
