Hi Guys
recentlly purchased a 98 patrol 2.8td
other day after taking it offroad and back on the highway the oil light flicked on and off twice after which the engine started to sound like crap :(
pulled over and had a look, nothing leaking, oil and water levels normal, oil light now no longer on but car wouldnt start, called racq to the resuce
when the guy turned up the car would start however it has a slight knocking noise, his guess was i had done a cylinder.
today had a mobile mechanic have a look and he reckons i have an over fuelling injector pump and possible conrod bearing prob ? he reckons over 3k repair bill .
not sure what to believe and for prices like that am i better whacking in a new motor for not much more, any suggestions
