Thanks for the reply.
The seller also suggested the turbo, which is good to know.
So for the price he's wanting, and selling it for £4k, there would be some money in it once I've replaced the turbo, and given it a service. :)
Makes me wonder why he's not fixing it himself, as he seems to have a well equipped workshop. :confused:

Because he knows whats really wrong with it!
 
yikes , I’ve got the TDV6 engine so that’s no better in its reputation , however I imagine a TDV8 would be even more expensive , or are the later ones called SDV8 seeing they have the twin turbos

another motor I really like is the petrol D4, but alas that has the 5.0 litre supercharged

if I did manage to get a L405 would at least a warranty , don’t know if the 8 x speed L322 is better or worse than the L405 , or what the best engines are out of the JLR

Really appreciate the feedback, many thks
"or what the best engines are out of the JLR" It's more a case of which engine is the least bad:rolleyes:
 
All engines are crap, its just jlr have perfected the art of crap engines to a T!
In my experience, the Freelander 1 TD4 and Freelander 2 TD4 are pretty good, although neither is actually built by LR.:eek:
