Troubled with the SDV6

[Edward.S]

Dear all,

I just purchased a RRS D300 Dynamic SDV6 with 39k miles on the clock from 2018 with a 24 month warranty from a LR main dealer. I am aware of the frequent crank shaft failures with the TDV6/SDV6 models. As I plan to drive the car at least for the next 5 years and hoping it could last to around 100k miles, what are your opinions? Are these issues still prevalent on newer models? Given good maintenance, could I get there relatively stress free?

Thank you.

Yes issue is still there, oil and filter change at 10k klms (6k miles) goes a long way to preventing it but nothing will 100% prevent it.

Relatively frequent is still like lottery odds so don’t panic too much and just do the suggested maintenance and enjoy the car.
