Confused? You will be. I’ve just been on the phone to AF to order a few parts. The guy asked me if my car was a single or a twin turbo. I said it’s a 3.0 2011 d4, SI it will be a twin turbo. He said D4’s 3.0 v6’s can be single or twin turbo. I gave home my reg number so he could check on his computer. He said it was a single! So I called Ripon Land Rover. Gave them my reg number, and they said it’s a twin turbo. They also said Landrover don’t make a 3.0 v6 with a single turbo. They stated only the 2.7 had single turbo.
So had anyone personally seen a 3.0 a single turbo? It’s concerning that two Landrover specialists give totally conflicting information.
 
I thought 3.0litre disco 4 was single turbo, but same engine in Range Rover sport was twin turbo, there is a subtle difference in performance
My son has a RR sport autobiography which is 3.0d and I absolutely agree there is a noticeable difference in performance. However, the later generation discovery & RR both have a slight increase in the bhp, and the have the 8 speed box in. So.. maybe the difference I’m noticing is the extra bhp and the 8 speed box (my sons rr is newer than my D4). Importantly, the road tax on the newer RR sport is MUCH cheaper than the D4 (6 speed)!!

Road tax on my D4, which is add blue model is £320/ year
