    Every make model of vehicle i've ever known has inherent problems and i've worked with Rolls Royce to Lada's

    Come back to Land Rover you know your missing the fun



    p.s that list looks very reasonable
    Yep and the difference is you can get an entire reliable 4.6 into a D2 for less than Audi will replace the Air Con blend motors in a Q7 Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?

    You can get a good LR mechanic to pull your 5 speed box stick in HD Ashcroft bearings and new syncros and put it back on with new clutch and pressurplate (V8) for a third of a reco D3/4 6 speed auto...

    Cheers

    I'll be surprised if humans will be driving in 15 years time.

    One day maybe but I think the 15 years might beat me. I personally don't see the value in them at the moment.

    100% Agree and all easy to do yourself. Would hate to think of the garage costs.

    ...sorry but the 79 series rear track is a big issue off road not just because of traction issues but more particularly because it affects cog and makes them even more unstable. They are simply dangerous off road on side slopes. ..seen a few on trips and everyone holds their breath when a 79 comes up the track!
    Anyhow..if the LR V8 is not your cuppa tea. ..move on☺

    But it's the same width as the 78 Series at the rear so side instability is unaltered from the earlier version, which was a bit tippy anyway.
    Actually it's better with the wider front track in some situations.

    Sorry for the thread diverge, back to your regular V8 viewing.

    Thanks to Ozscott, I think I may have secured a 4.6L long motor from a P38.
    I could swap over my recently refurbished heads, but I think I will just see how this one runs for now.
    Next problem; what to do with that extra 20 odd kilowatts of power? Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?Cylinder sleeve failure or something else?

    Geez, I hope not. I can’t imagine it could move any faster than it did.

    Funnily enough mine didn't get worse at all and towing it actually got better.

    Yep, Murray.
    He’s even offered to deliver it. That’s Brisbane to Gippsland! Unbelievable!
