    oil pump failures

    If I'm at a dealer looking at a used Disco, would I be able to identify the cracked gears or is this something a shop would need to diagnose?

    Slipping liner - how long?

    You are pinning the liners in your current engine to correct the problem or you have a different engine that you are pinning the liners in order to keep it from happening on the new engine?

    This worth 5K?

    I had the same thing happen on an old 3 series BMW. Turned out to be a leaky radiator. The thing would leak when warm during driving. I would add coolant and it would settle at a point just below the low line and stay there.

    This worth 5K?

    I thought the same. That is what the seller said. I think he may have meant that a little coolant was leaking from the head gasket and a little oil was leaking from the transfer case.
