V6 byeeeeee

Had a V6 Guzzler with an added HG failure for over a year.

Finally got rid, lucky or what, ye cant give these things away, they drink more juice than a alcholic glaswegian tribe, got myself a great px on a TD4 and what a beauty, came with 1/2 a tank of doozle, drove past more petrol stations in a week without having to stop to feed the greedy bugger, feels fantastic.

Moral of the story to any newbie thinking Landys, DONT GET A V6 FFS!!!!

:clap2:

Turbo Deisel = win all the way

We have our Freelander TD4 and also a 2004 TDCi Focus estate. The Focus averages about 60mpg! Admitedly it's not a Landy and it's got a funny blue oval badge on the front but there you go.

I'd never go back to petrol engines and a V6 is just silly (unless you have a) your own petrol refinery or b) not many miles to drive and a big wallet :fish

wanna try a v8 then

ooh!

Did you see that Top Gear episode a couple of months ago with not only the car with the 27 litre Spitfire engine in it (*ahem* old hat, very cool but seen before) but also that looney car powered by the engine from a JU88? The hot oil-spitting 46-litre V12 BMW Brutus.



Now that's a petrol engine!

The best engine in the Freebie by far

You know about MAF, EGR, Crankshaft sensors, turbos hoses, injectors, leak back tests, HP pumps, LP pumps, etc don't you

If not, all the information you need is on here and all of that is owner fixable with the support on here

exactly my thoughts. shame it's the wrong colour eh!

Disagree - I get 27 mpg out of my V6. Loads of power, doesn't run hot. Got a bad reputation based on the 4 pot petrol, although the engines have almost nothing in common. Of course, a few have HG problems, but you find me a car which never suffers from this when abused. People think it's a LR so don't bother with maintenance - low coolant, old oil etc
