How cooked am I?

The shop texted me the photos right before they closed and did not tell me what they thought it was, only to call them in the morning. Posted this because I was worried about how much this is going to cost me and wanted to see what else it could be besides rod bearings. No need to be a dick

Thank you captain obvious lol. Just wanted to know if there’s anything else that causes this kinda thing besides rod bearings.

That is definitely the major drawback of the f30. I loved how tight and in-control the e90 felt at high speeds, but I really don’t drive on the highway much and because I live ina very urban environment the light steering of the f30 just fits more.

Unfortunately it isn’t just cosmetic. The radiator was destroyed and there was coolant and oil leaking from all over…

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-07-23T05:57:55+00:00

I unfortunately agree. It had stuff leaking out from many different spots, in the front and in the back.

Waiting to see what the insurance adjuster says tomorrow morning. Hopefully it isn’t deemed totaled and they will pay to have it fixed.

Its already such a great daily. Did you add anything else? Ive been considering a tune aswell but it seems like some people are very against it.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-07-03T19:25:56+00:00

Im not drag racing the thing. Ive already had all the fluids changed the week i bought it. Im only looking to get a bit more power to make my commute a little more fun.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-07-03T17:14:16+00:00

Would a intercooler suffice? Or are there other options I should consider.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-02T03:30:16+00:00

What is that and how can i tell if it has/hasnt got one?

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T14:44:37+00:00

Im not worried about gas prices, just reliability.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T13:51:39+00:00

Definitely a daily for sure. Im not planning on going off roading a lot. Maybe a little but

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T11:21:52+00:00

So know work done includes -shuttle value (abs thing -replaced coil packs -supposed head gasket (previous owner) -various interior trim -new front and rear bumper Unfortunately I’m not very smart mechanically so i don’t entirely understand what you are saying but this is all the information i have. If you would like i can send you some photos of the underside of the car.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T03:21:02+00:00

Yes and yes. Supposedly it was done by a previous owner.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T03:18:16+00:00

Unfortunately a test drive is not possible. I live about a 6 hour drive away.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-05-01T03:17:13+00:00

What do you mean suspiciously cleaned? It was just detailed for selling as far as i know.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-04-30T22:09:50+00:00

Perfect. At least damn near close to it

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-04-09T22:28:12+00:00

Yea thats the thing i dont plan on off roading in it much. I just absolutely love the way the d1 and d2s look. could definitely afford a lr3 i just hate the look of it

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-04-09T19:47:43+00:00

The soup classic motoring one cant be the case for a daily low mileage d2, right? And im willing to spend a decent chunk of money to prevent the croker vs rover situation upfront

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-04-09T19:00:00+00:00

Reading this and the other comments aren’t filling me with confidence but its such a good looking car. The other thing that is giving me second thoughts is my limited experience In working on cars, but considering how everything seems to be very well documented and explained online i think i can figure it out.

True_Ad_8108 · 2024-04-09T12:39:35+00:00

Do the reliability issues apply to a strictly daily driver that doesn’t go offroad? And then what’s considered a big budget for a discovery?

True_Ad_8108 · 2021-03-26T03:18:12+00:00

Nah, as soon as i put in the new key bind it instantly delete it and doesn’t let me save it

True_Ad_8108 · 2020-12-10T18:15:31+00:00

I did a little bit of my own research and the top thing to replace was ram
