Of course if you are really, really, really rich or really stupid you can take your D2 truck to a registered LR stealership and let them do all of the work with their exorbitantly priced rates and spare parts and pay the invoice meekly and then cry later when you realise you have no money left in the bank or failing that learn to turn wrenches as a hobby

Pinning any slipped liners in or out of your Disco 2
Also, another option for achieving the same fix is apparently using Cometic head gaskets instead of OEM HGs: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...ictures-56419/

Wouldn't bank on that Toddco engine btw. Been around here a while, haven't posted much because this place has come full circle and all the information is just being recycled, but have heard a few stories about Toddco customer service issues. Best bet for engines would be pay for the Turner engines, or pony up for the GM LS swap.
Also, at this point in most of our vehicle's lives, the transfer-case cable joints are 13-17 years old. May want to start lubing those up if you haven't. If it breaks, it's a pain to repair.

There are two other ways, probably more, to turn off the "disable" status while still keeping your alarm system, if your Rover has been immobilized by your car alarm.
Each Rover has an "EKA" code that can be entered by turning the key in the driver's door.
Many North American Rovers use the same "EKA" code of 1515 if you have to guess at it (might be in your Owner's Manual if you don't want to guess, or a phone call to Rover with your VIN might elicit your EKA).
1 way is to turn your key in the driver's door to the left/unlock position and hold it for 5 seconds. If you get a beep or the red alarm light inside does something different, then you can enter your EKA.
Turn your key in the driver's door lock to the unlock/left position then back to the center upright position time to enter a 1.
Now turn that key to the LOCK/Right position, then back to the center upright position 5 times to enter a 5.
Turn your key in the driver's door lock to the unlock/left position then back to the center upright position time to enter a 1.
Now turn that key to the LOCK/Right position, then back to the center upright position 5 times to enter a 5.
You've now entered "1515" into your BCU. Hopefully, that's your code to disarm your alarm.
Finally, turn your key 1 time to the unlock, a double bleep will indicate that the code has been entered correctly. A single bleep indicates that the code has been entered incorrectly.
Then, before opening the door, wait 5 minutes for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated. During the 5 minute wait for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated, the alarm indicator LED in the instrument pack continues to flash (one flash every 2 seconds). DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE CAR until the full delay period has elapsed.
When the 5 minute wait has elapsed, the alarm indicator LED stops flashing. Immediately open the door, insert the key in the ignition switch and turn the switch to position II. Do this and if the EKA code is correct your Rover will run normally from now until you accidentally set off your alarm again someday.
Well, if those instructions are correct. And if "1515" is your code. And if your BCU actually behaves the way the manual says it will, etc.
Otherwise, back to the Hawkeye or Testbook tool for you!

All the information you need is on the board, and these guys have covered. There is really nothing mysterious about the cars. Test drive, make sure it will not over heat with an ultragauge or scangauge, inspect for rust, inspect the driveshafts, look for leaks, check it for codes, make sure there is no rough road code indicating maybe the previous owner is hiding the three amigos.
Or just take it to an LR Shop for a$100 lookover, and negotiate down for anything they find.
