Hello guys! I am Iliya, 28 y.o. from Bulgaria (little country in east Europe).
I want to buy a Range Rover L322, but I have some questions: (sorry if this is not the right page for this post)
Before questions I want to tell that I spend wast 3 weeks of reading about L322 diesel versions and all the info (in all the forums) helps me a lot but also confused me!
I read about all common problems with L322 (BMW and FORD periods) but I am a little bit confused about some things...
First I say what I found about repairing costs of the parts that are different in BMW and Ford periods (or facelift)
If i choose to buy L322 Vogue with 3.0 TD6 BMW engine:
Full repair of engine - from 700 to 1500 euro
Injectors (in this engine 6 pieces) - from 75 euro (recycling) to 200 euro (new) -> 6x100=600 euros
Gearbox (5 speed GM) - from 1000 to 1500 euro recycling
for the diferential I am not sure because I can't found someone in Bulgaria solving this problem
Turbo - 500 euros recycling
If i choose to buy L322 Vogue with 3.6 TDV8 (Jag or Ford I am not sure)
Engine repair - not sure but maybe more reliable for now (2-3 years newer yet)
Injectors (in this engine 8 pieces) - 500 euro per piece for new (Siemens I heard and not recycling newer piezo technology or something like this) but 8x500= 4000 euro !!! THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN ALL OF THE TD6 POSSIBLE REPAIRS
Gearbox (6 speed ZF) - more reliable but if need recycling the price is the same
Diferential is reliable and I can't find info for someone who change it
Turbo (2 pieces) - from 700 to 900 euro recycling both but +200 to 400 euro for work
I must say that in 2021 year this SUVs are from 180000km to 300000km and all of the listed repairs are expected!
I wanted to buy the TDV8 because of the more power, interior design, harman kardon (before facelift i found only one with HK sound system), navigation system seems to be more usabel in ourdays (updated maps, gsm pairing, more functions), this circle button wich rotate for offroad seems better off-road passability (for the last two I am not sure is it true) (I will be happy if I am not right)
BUT THIS PRICE FOR INJECTORS made me think about the older TD6 engine and a little bit ugly interior middle column with retro handbrake and strange buttons...
I will be happy to hear your advice about wich one I must choose
)
THANKS!!!
P.S. Is there any models with newer interior and navigation and fixed diferential problem but with older TD6 engine? Maybe it can fit to me
(In Bulgaria L322 Vogue TD6 is from 4000 euro to 9000 euro and TDV8 from 6000 euro to 15000 euro, my budget is 10000 euro)
