stuck Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Gent's, I'm looking at buying a Vogue for the Mrs, was looking for a petrol but I've come across a very clean low mileage TD6 with full MDSH. Are there any known weaknesses with this engine? It's offered with 3 months parts & labour warranty & has done 56K miles with 2 previous owners. Thanks, Mick.

duncmc Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Is it a Range Rover L322 or Range Rover Sport? I ask that because the Sport had a TD6 engine which I'm sure is the same engine that was in the Discovery 3, but the big Range Rover TD6 was a BMW straight 6 related to the M57 engine I have read.

muddy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 i've seen a couple with ove 200,000 on them. My cousan has one uses it for towing aswell as normal stuff and its been fine. look for the front diff bearings being done as i belive lr will no longer pay for this. If i couldnt afford a TDV8 or the V8 economy i'd buy one. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
