I don't know how close to you they are, but I've heard good things about this place> C&H Auto Service | Over 30 Years of Land Rover and Mini Experience | Orlando ? Winter Park, FL

 

What would be the labor to replace the front engine cover?

Is this the spare part I would need?
LJR000220
Engine Front Cover (Part # LJR000220) - Land Rover Discovery II

Thanks

 

not sure on labor costs, but it may just need to be re sealed and not replaced. new front oil seal and gasket




but that is a correct link to a new cover

 

I would get this: Oil Pump Gear Kit With Gaskets For Land Rover And Range Rover

As long as you're in there, you might as well do it.

 

$350 at the dealer, so your cost with an independent should be less than that. I would cover the engine top to bottom with degreaser and find an undercarriage car wash before you bring it to anyone.

 

This morning I visited C&H Auto service in Orlando FL.
After a short look to the engine, Paul (Owner of C&H) told me that the Intake Manifold Valley Gasket is leaking. The repair costs 800$.
He expects the car to be repaired tomorrow evening.
Hopefully I will return with good news by Thursday, cross fingers please.

 

It was the INLET MANIFOLD VALLEY GASKET.
Now the oil leakage is back to the normal amount a Rover shows

And after putting in a new battery yesterday the Rover drives, until it fails again, hopefully not too soon.

Thanks for the support in this thread.

 

so true....

 

Did i read that correctly $800 to replace an intake manifold gasket?

 

Unfortunately yes, I had no option to do it myself.
