    Hello 2004 RR Vogue TD6

    I didn’t get anywhere with my complaints so I advertised it on EBay as Honestly as I could actually saying the engine won’t start so spares or repairs will need to be fixed or engine replaced etc. Sold it for £4500 A week later he asked for a refund I checked with eBay & they said NO straight...

    Hello 2004 RR Vogue TD6

    yes I will agree with that… however I do like the look of the Sport so much. I think I’m going to aim for a 5 litre SC around a 2016 MY after I finish learning about this one

    Hello 2004 RR Vogue TD6

    Well i am back LOL trying to scratch this itch to own a RR. I actually was looking for a RR sport but this L322 has just come my way so i am giving it a go! But already i have got a mass of issues. Still its a cheap work horse for the winter so i will get stuck in.

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Hi guys I’m back and straight at it. So I’ve got one injector out the first one on the right bank as viewed from front. I can’t pull the second one out using adjustable grips but it’s so tightly in I’m a little nervous of breaking it anyhow might go to the left bank and try to get those out. I’m...

    Wow it’s great hearing all these comments on this engine, boy how I wish I’d looked this up cause I was told by LR to avoid the 2.7 and go for a 3.0 instead as it was much improved I would have bought the V8 or V8 SC for defo.

    Indeed however today’s keys are programmed & if you ever do come across this situation make sure all other keys are deleted from the ECU before programming a new key. But having your car stolen from your drive without the added drama & trauma of a burglary could be seen as a blessing these days...

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Yep that’s my thoughts too anyhow I’ve got the challenge now I still think this car should have been described as mechanical damage. By the entrant as it hasn’t come from an insurance company it’s come from a trader!!!! When I enquired by phone they said it hasn’t got keys as stated therefore...

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Lol that’s Exactly my argument with them. I believe there was prior knowledge of a mechanical issue starter just clicks but won’t spin even now as I’ve removed it but the bolts were already lose so someone had already looked at the starter motor. Then all the keys had been deleted from the cars...

    I have a diagnostic Autel tool and didn’t find any timing related or crank sensor faults stored on ECU maybe I’m panicking a bit but we’ll see by next weekend

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Yes I took the front bumper grille headlights off hoping to get rads out the way to check the belts but it seems a long process lol anyway got the auxiliary belt off so no problem in that area but ran out of time because I was going away. Yes bought it from Copart salvage £4600 including fees...

    Trust me on this one you will all have access to my post about my experience with this car ☹️ I’m gutted but remaining positive about how I go forward, so I’ll defo let y’all know how this journey progresses ❤️

    Me too hoping it’s not broken hence asking all the questions now... This is how I’ve left it but moved it to my house. Can’t seem to see how rads come out easily though ?

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Ok so I’m away at the moment but collecting as much info as poss before I get back to face this problem lol does the body need to be lifted off ? Obviously not to get to the belts but if engine has imploded wouldn’t there be lots of oil everywhere & a hole in the sump or block ??

    Engine won’t rotate by hand

    Hi everyone, I’mnew to the Land Rover so asking for a little help. Might seem like a silly question but would like to be sure... I have a 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 L320 got it cheap as it wouldn’t start. Removed the starter motor and yes it’s toast. Pre-engage works/shoots out but won’t...
