I'm not convinced that an '04 engine is an absolute cure all. There's been two threads here in as many weeks from '04 owners with oil pump explosions and a sprinkling of others around the web. I think it's the tip of the iceberg. Granted, not all will fail...just as not all '03s will break. But I'm not confident about LR's/engine vendor's supposed corrective action.

I'm either going to start pricing '99-'02 RR engines or simply replace the pump gears every 30k (cheaper). Hopefully, some enterprising soul will come up with a DIY fix before then.
