Just curious as I prep my 2012 D4 to drive from here in NI to South Africa will my 3.0 SDV6 encounter any problems using some of the bad fuel ⛽️ when I’m out there? I know that they use a lot of normal Derv mixed with Kerosene out there. Cheers Farmer Dan

it’s the character building and the hatred that makes you fall in love with the green oval….. ease of finding parts etc….. god damn I hate it…… I do love it though

I know that this block was and always has been a bone of contention so to speak as there were issues with poor casting etc etc etc…… but my block thankfully is fine, (one of the lucky ones I guess from what Iv read and been told) that said it is a nice engine to work on and sounds AWESOME my...

I have a used set that I can source for £150 each…… it’s finding the balance for me (emotionally as it has annoyed me so much and logically) I suppose from a logical perspective I could go and pop the two used heads on as a matter of course and see how we fair, I just want to “financially” keep...

Y yeah I know there are some great success stories etc but mine at present certainly isn’t one sadly, block is fine the replacement heads are running into £1000 for a set of new standard ones……. I would love to stick with it as it sounds AMAZING but it’s just been such a let down (my own...

yeah it’s looking to be the most likely option for ease….. I could theoretically use the main ECU from the diesel motor with the assumption that obviously it will work with the engine it came along with and would hopefully communicate with any other nodes (BCM, SLABS or whatever?)………

I My thinking was that if I plopped whatever lump in there I could trace the circuits (door locking, lighting, wipers, heating system etc and configure a separate control unit (distribution board with integrated protection and relays still triggered by the indicator stalks, knobs and buttons?)

So folks im sure this may or may not of been approached before but i was considering doing an engine swap in my P38 4.6 V8 2001, i would like to go with a diesel (M51 / M57 / 1HDTFE) or reliable petrol (1UZFE etc) SOOOOOO........ I am not a mechanic but i am an engineer with a bias towards...

To be fair...... I have a 2009 3.0 TDV6 (196,000mls and counting) and the SDV6 2014 67800mls.... they are serviced regularly (every 5000mls or 3 months) doing all the fluids from diffs to engine oil and all associated filters, now I do this myself which I save on garage costs but I have found...

Guys thanks for all the responses and advice! you are a great bunch!!! :) I actually tried something different lol..... I was away from my laptop so didn't get the chance to see these ideas before I did what I did which was to jack up the front of my L322, slide underneath and attached my...

Im excited!!!!! it is indeed!!!! so that's a go then! :) Thanks!!!!

Oh and yes...... it has a tow bar and socket..... do you think I could get some charge introduced through it to allow for central locking operation??

Thanks for the info! :) greatly appreciated indeed, it's a wet wet wet evening here in the NI hills and even though my skin is waterproof and my bones won't rust I think I will leave it until a hopefully drier morning, I will then take a good stab at getting this donkey up and at it again!, she...

Folks I couldn't think where else to put this so I'm winging it and sticking it here...... so I have been at sea for a few weeks with work, when I got home (today) I tried to unlock my L322 TD6 2003 using the fob.... then the key when the fob did nothing..... and nothing.... I can't get into my...

Just to chime in on this old post (its now 2019!!)...... iv had both my 2003 L322 vogue 3.0 TD6 (BMW lump) and 2009 RRS Hawke edition 3.0 TDV6 (Ford/PSA Lion/AJ 200/207Bhp) for almost 3 years now and they are both so far pretty good..... that said I do all my own electronics and mechanical...

Holy crap!!!! how did you get a Christmas tree in there!?!?!? :)

Thanks for the run through I carried out an oil analysis and thankfully no foreign bodies contamination were present when put through the filter and centrifuge (not a lot given the mileage / age) Oil had lost its properties ie viscosity etc and was quite literally like black water..... Shifting...

Landrovers have their problems.... their saving grace is parts availability (as they are ALWAYS needed) and ease of repairs, I love landrovers but my 4.2 1992 land cruiser is by far a more superior vehicle with regards reliability, just clocked 376,859mls on the original engine, the gear box is...
