Hi all,

Im based in Nottingham and looking to get a Discovery Sport 2016 HSE. This will be my first Land Rover but I have had a few Alfas so not afraid to do my own maintenance :)

I heard about the timing chain issues are they a definite change item or can you be lucky? are newer ones stronger?

Is there anything else I should be worried about?

Finally do they fit in the discovery forum or the Freelander forum :)

All the best and looking forward to my new purchase when I make it.

Greg
 
Avoid the 2.0 ingenium diesel like the plague. The petrols are slightly better. If you can get an earlier one with the PSA 2.2 diesel do that.

If you do end up with an ingenium diesel, I'd do the chain yeah and change oil every 5000miles, they suffer with fuel diluting the oil

Thanks, yes I'm used to the fuel dilution, my current car V70 D4 has the same issue, I drop the oil every 6 months, is the Ingenium the same in that it dumps the fuel in the engine during a DPF regeneration if it is unable to be fully regen'd the fuel goes to the engine? Thus motorway driving can reduce this issue because the regen is able to be completed.

Been looking around and the none of the 2.2's I find have the spec I'm after this might change when I come to buy so will keep my eye out.

I assume if the car is over 80k miles it would be worth budgeting for a new chain?

Thats it mate exact same issue. All this emissions crap bolted to diesels now 😕

Theyre not that well known on here, I've never ran one but I am involved in the engines in work life. I wouldn't necessarily change chain straight away thinking about it. If its rattly on cold start etc then yeah budget for it. Buy the car you want and fix it if it breaks I suppose.

Sounds like you maintain your cars well so maybe not as risky a purchase for you??

Theres a kid on YouTube doing a lot of these engines, hes got some good information on them. Jr services or something
