What am I missing here, how does the active cornering enhancement recall above relate to oil pump failure..... or have I just lost the plot completely?

 

I think what happened was I was looking through the recalls and I accidentally put the wrong link on. You can find the one for the oil pump at that site. Sorry I didnt catch that on my own! MY BAD!

 

Whew... glad to know I hadn't lost it. You have no idea how many times I re-read the posts trying to figure out what I was missing, as often the obvious escapes me.

 

I've got a 4.6 from 2001 in Range Rover SE...so is '03 the first year for 4.6s in a Disco, where as RR have always had 4.6s? Or just the HSE had the 4.6 and mines special?

Haha I'm just curious, thanks for the help guys!

 

Right, Discos didnt have a 4.6 until 03' where as range rover has always had it i think (anyone back that up?) but in 02' Range Rover introduced the new 4.6 HSE. Thats just a differnt package and it had new features. At the same time Disco introduced an HSE model but it also kept the same engine, it didnt upgrade to 4.6 at that time. Then 03' rolled around and all discos had a 4.6

 

I don't see anything on that website aout oil pump failure and 03 discos... Can you re-post the link? Thanks

 

Here, this was posted earlier in this post. Its by far the best thing I have seen on it. I think i mis-read the other site or posted the wrong link, sorry for the confusion.

Hope that helps!

 

Ok cool, I got that one but didnt know if there was a second. THANKS!

 

wow I just bought a 2003 Discovery HSE.Reading the posts about the oil pump failure has me worried.
My VIN (3A803470) is in the range. I'm not sure what to do. Do I just hope my vehicle is ok?
Do I go to the dealer and say what? Do I try to find and purchase some sort of warranty in case the problem hits my vehicle?

aaaaaa.

Any advice.

 

Mine is in the vin range, has 105,000 miles, and to my knowledge has never had an oil pump problem. I bought it with 68,000 miles on the odometer, so it possibly could have happened with the previous owner. I'm calling the dealer today just to have them look up its service record, so if they find anything interesting regarding the oil pump I'll let you know. I wonder just what the percentage of failures within that vin range is.
