Hello All,
I have been searching throughout the site and haven't found a write-up on how to change the oil pump on the 2003/2004 discoveries.

Can anyone direct me in the right direction so i can look it over???

Thanks!!

 

Why do you want to change it??

 

I would like to know what this job entails to see if this is something i can do myself. Just doing some research...

 

Do you have an 03 that is on Rover vin list of possible engine failures?
How mechanical are you?

 

I'm currently in the market. Test drove a few and pretty much have made up my mind on a 2004 model Discovery. I seek the info because i have also read that a few members here have experienced issues with faulty pumps in thier 2004 DII. I would just like to eliminate any doubt on the PO ability to maintain a vehicle and change the pump.

As for mechanical inclination, i majored in ME but went to IE for the easy $$ or else i would've stayed. One thing holding me back would be special need tools...

 

The 03 issue has not carried over to the 04 with the exception of normal oil pumps failing based on a weird set of stats.
If you are going to get to **** over this purchase, back off and look in other areas of the market so you will be able to sleep well.

 

I understand the situation has not carried over to the 04' models I'm well aware of the TSB and all trucks affected. I just wanted to read the write-up.

Ok, With that being clear where can i find the info on how to change the oil pumps on the 4.0L Disco II.

 

I really don't see where you are coming from with this question? Why are you worrying about something that will never need to be done?
Go down load a Rave CD.

 

Ahh! Thanks Disco Mike!! I'm getting excited for my new purchase!!!
Test drove a 04' HSE7, just waiting on the dealer to get back to me on some history reports..

 

How much are they asking for it, remember the prices are really dropping.
