Eye first came across the tdv6 failures on ere. Peeps having had the crank snap. There's an oil pump mod and a few other idea's to make em last longerer. The high ways agency do somefink like 300k miles in them if eye remembers correctly. Tis a pug engine origionally via ford into lr. RR and d3 and d4 used em. 2.7 and 3L. Tis a heavy car at 2.7 ton. All the power comes from the turbo's. The d3 forum has loads of em failed. Since lookering online at a scammer garage eye realised just how many were failing. Its not as bad as 50% but the ocasional owner had two replaced under lr 3 year warranty on the same vehicle. Then yer find oot just how many garages specialise in swopping the engines oot. And how easy it is to get a second hand chassis from a parts stripped one. We tend to bin cars at 10 years when they is still wuking. Lr products tend to continue past this as owners love em. There's quite a following of peeps wanting one. But the tdv6 problems make the rover k series 1.8 wiv its head gasket failures look like a sunday picnic. Tis a shame to damage the vehicles reputation like this. Oil starvation then snap. Lots of theories. The bearing slips and block the oil hole. That's basic metal tinkering to design oot. Pump can split eye fink. At the end of the day its an eggspensive car when new. Still full of eggspensive parts many years laterer. As eye has said many times...














yer betterer oft gerrin a freelander.

Usually when a bearing slips it doesnt snap a crankshaft but lots of other damage is caused well before it would snap.
If a machined part snaps its due to misalignment/vibration & balancing issues. Suppose there are loads of theorys on
this. Poop design I suppose. Not sure getting a freelander would help his street cred any good. 🤣 🤣

Looks very similar to the bend at brooklands.

I have no idea how many GP circuits have, or had bankings. We have been to Brooklands quite a few times. Some of the classic car rally type, fun run things that we have been on in W's Speedster started from there. We've also been round the museum which is well worth a visit. We parked on the banking for photos etc before leaving on the Tulip style rally thing which takes you on a winding route to Brighton all off the beaten track.

They don't run them anymore which is a massive shame.

Many "Pensioner Gentlemen" cannot wear beige or other variants of the lighter colour spectrum because of "the dot of shame". Fact. Thankfully, I am not afflicted (yet) but I see all too many that are and maybe don't realise it.
