03 disco bad Vin?
 

Im sure thois question has been asked before but I cannot find it on this site so I appolagise for repeating a question. I own a 2003 4.6 disco 2 and have read about the oil pump problems is there certain ones that had this or do all do have them?

Thanks

I would think from responses that most have them, but if they survive 50K - 70K miles you have a "good one".

91k so far so good.....but the three amigos suck....

I have 141k on my 03. It's been a great car, minus the annoying "tick".

I incurred a recent severe oil leak at the front cover and decided to replace the gaskets. Along with that, I opted to replace the oil pump while I was in there. What I found was an operating oil pump- with an outer ring that was split into four pieces. Who knows how long it has been operating like that.

By customer standards a broken oil pump sucks! By an engineers standard, an oil pump that can split into four pieces and can still pump is a success!

Mine has 88K on it, and luckly no three amigo's or ticking, so it should be ok, looking at the viscous fan i think this has been replaced as its got a big yellow spot in it.

Thanks for the response's much apreciated to a new member

I've got 66K on my o3' and she's ticking like a time bomb!! I wish I knew what would solve the issue so I could make it go away.

Read my sticky. Maybe you have a bad flexplate.
