Sport V6

Looks like JLR have binned the V6 diesel and replaced it with a much more sensible in line 6 Ingenium lump.
It is to be hoped that the cranks don't snap in this one.

Looks good, as long as it gets regular oil changes.

I'd of nabbed it!

The 4pot in the classic was a nice motor, head and shoulders above the 200tdi that replaced it!!

From an engineering standpoint I would have thought an in-line 6 would be more likely to snap a crank than a V.
Go on then, someone versed in modern LR junk enlighten me

Inline or v makes absolutely no difference. The v6 is just a poor design with a weak Web and questionable bearing location.

Certainly more torsional stress on the longer crank, straight 8's were a problem. In modern times it's just poor design that leads to breakages.

Thanks for that, the S8 problem is what led me to post my thoughts.
Poor design? from LR … surely not
