- www.roverparts.com Atlantic British Repair and Maintenance How-To Video: Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Tech, remove and replace the engine in our 2000 Discovery Series II with one of Our Exclusive Remanufactured Engines. Doug goes in-depth in this engine installation, which in real-time should clock in as a 10 hour service. We recorded the process starting in January 2017 and finishing in November 2017, working on it when time allowed. It actually sat for months, as we had other things on our schedule to work on.
See www.roverparts... for more info on remanufactured engines.

This is unbelievable. Atlantic British, and Doug specifically-huge thank you and kudos. Doug is like a celebrity to me, guiding me through countless repairs and maintenance over the last three years that I’ve owned a Disco 2, and it runs incredibly smooth with no leaks, unbelievably enough. The engine doesn’t need replaced yet, but I’ll be replacing it myself when that time comes, and it’s unbelievable that you guys have put together this video to make that process all the smoother. Thanks a million you guys.
Great video. Rover On!
Now I know I can replace my engine in 1.5 hours.
Commented on this video 2 years ago. I have another Discovery 2 now that has a potential flexplate issue and I went right back to this video. Thank you so much again!
D
Thank you so much! all your videos are very helpful to me.
Never in the history of the world, has an LS swap made more sense. Thanks for posting the video - removing a TD5 is significantly easier...

@@ericinmiami Try living in Canada where my money is worthless in the USA lol...I think it will be worth it in the long run though. The rover motor is a POS
Love all your videos. Today I removed my 4.0 block from my 2004 D2a. Somehow I had to remove 2 extra bolts from underneath of at about half he 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock position 🤷♂️. Otherwise it was pretty straight forward thanks to your videos. Now to get it repaired.
Nice tip to put the oil pan on after the engine is back in the vehicle, Doug. Seems easier to put the pan on while the engine is still out, but that makes tightening the torque converter bolts unnecessarily difficult. Having the pressurized RTV for the oil cover and cruciform seal joints is key. Very nice work!
Guys... Great videos, all of them. Too good to be limited to 480p!
As always, an amazingly helpful video from you guys! Thank you!
5 stars. Thank you
You forgot to mention that you have to take the torque converter bolts out!! or the engine wont separate from the transmission (at least on automatics) Followed the directions and all went smoothly until that part.
would you say the process for discovery 1 is basically the same?
How did you determine the cylinder was bad. ?
This guy is amazing
Atlantic British - Great videos and products from you guys! Really appreciate you sharing the knowledge. Wondering if you can help me with the bell housing bolts...Following the RAVE, I've removed 8 out of 12, all from the bottom side. I cannot find the other 4 I'm supposed to remove before getting to the last 2 on-top. I think I see one of the bolts on the drivers side higher up, but its right up against the body and I'm stumped on how to get to it. That's only one though...Really not sure where the other 3 are...
Hello Atlantic British, thank you so much for posting this video. Do you have any plans to post RR Classic repair videos?
Can't find a new oil pump on your site
I couldn't get that rubber plug back in after I finished. I even removed oil pan and still could not get that plug in.
About the replace the engine in my 2000 P38. Im guessing its the same engine so very similar procedure ? thanks
haw meni ten this jacke
No heat shield on that first motor mount?.
Does leaving the intake and heads in place complicate removal?
Removing the intake is nearly a must. Removing the heads does make it easier, but you can work around them if you are so inclined to leave them in place.
@@atlanticbritishrp I couldn't get over not using a torque wrench to install head bolts. Then again we are talking about a rover, it's gonna blow the headgasket early in life no matter what....
That's why I'm going to rip mine out and never put another of those aluminum abominations back in... Repower, loads of people doing LS swaps, I'm looking at doing a 6.6 Duramax swap on it.
Hola amigos , cosulta que tan recomendable es cambiar el motor de una disco 2002 v8 gasolina , por un motor diesel de una disco 1 años 1996 diesel ?
so i have a 97 disco with the 4.0 litre engine in and 200,000 miles . It heat seizes after 30 minutes or so , so i'm gonna need to pull it and rebuild it . Can i get everything to rebuild this from Atlantic British ??? New liners and pistons or short block and re build my heads etc , whats your thoughts ???
Olá bom dia me chamo Rodrigo, sou brasileiro tenho uma l320 supecharger 2005, luz de resposta dinâmica acendeu em vermelho, porém a barra estabilizadora está funcionando normal, mas Observei a mangueira da bomba hidráulica com um pequeno vazamento, já foi tentado resetar o erro com scanner, e persisti a luz ...minha pergunta é simples está luz pode está relacionado com perca de pressão devido a mangueira está com vazamento leve
I'm having so much trouble making my engine fit into the transmission. The crankshaft and torque converter are already lined up and conected, but it wont go all the way in and I have a huge gap between the transmission and engine block on the lower part. I already placed the top 4 bolts, but the gap is still bad underneath. Am I doing something wrong? Any tips? Would the gap close ones I mount the engine on the motor mounts? Thank you
I'm having the same problem. Did you figure it out?
ah. the torque converter wasn't properly aligned.
I can’t believe you installed that dirty oil pan onto a new 7k engine, and you never primed the oil pump
For those of Us, who may be able to do quite a bit mechanically, but are not really "mechanics" ... it really would have been helpful to have something mentioned about ensuring that the torque converter is fully seated, before bolting up the engine.
I realize this is a basic concept, but it was completely skipped over.
I had trouble getting the engine bolted up, not realizing that the tq must have come out some, when I removed the old engine.
Not seeing that the tq was not fully inside the bell housing, and working by myself.
I managed to jam the engine into the tq because I had a gap on one side which I solved by putting bolts on where I could, and then drawing it together by tightening the bolts.
Until I went to bolt up the tq, and realized I couldn't rotate the crank pulley, or the tq I had no idea I had a problem.
Idiotic, I know... but the rest of the tutorial is so simplified that even someone like me thinks it is doable, and jumps right in... so a word about the tq, and ensuring it is seated would have been incredibly useful.
Now, I have to determine whether I have damaged the transmission, front pump, etc.
Thanks for your time and consideration, and have a great day.
Hi I'm car technician in Brazil.
I wish the video was more realistic, by not removing the heads before removing the engine.
You can tell this guy has had too much experience with this operation. I think he can replace a Land Rover engine blind folded.
One would hope so. He's a Land Rover master technician.
Why would a relatively modern engine have sleeving problems and head gasket problems? Land Rover was owned by BMW and Ford at this time. They were aware of the issues when they bought the company.
South Hill Farm
Theres nothing "modern" about this engine. Look up "Rover V8 engine". GM Buick engine from 1960's. Its been modifed and improved over the years but its just an old block that GM scrapped long ago...
Furthermore I imagine the new owners (BMW/Ford) decided aginst throwing a completly different engine and drivetrain into a outgoing model that was soon to be replaced by the LR3/Discovery 3.
South Hill Farm the dies were old and created porosity- the model was being changed so they didn’t invest the money in new dies
Land Rover does some really, really stupid shit. the Torgue converter bolts are absolutely stupidly engineered, whomever thought that bolting a thin plate to a convert with the least amount of access possible should be publicly flogged in front of their children.
