    Use good quality oil, with regular oil and filter changes - I am going every 5000 Km.
    Follow all recommended service requirements

    I now keep two service records - one set for the engine the other for the rest of the D3.
    Yes they took the body off

    Hope it works out for you.
    Thanks rdenyer,

    Glad to hear that yours is going well now.

    I have just bought a 05 TDV6 with a new (18k km) motor and was thinking about servicing. I thought it was important to keep separate records as the motor would have different requirements than the body and the odometer reading. I think separate records and a specialist that gets 'to know' the car is the answer.

    How do you keep your second records?

    Cheers David.

    There is a recent thread on one of the UK forums of a crank failure in a 2.7. In this one there are no bearing failures and all journals are in good condition. The crank just failed after the front two conrods and it looks like metal fatigue - maybe a manufacturing fault.

    Hi David
    I found this great PDF called "Discovery 3 Maintenance Check List"
    I print one out for the engine and one for the chassis. and then work out if its an O, A or B service.
    Not that familiar with this BB so cant work out how to send it to you - but I think I found it on the UK D3 site.
    Regards,
    Richard

    Thanks for that. I'm currently still waiting for the engine to arrive from Melbourne. I've asked the mechanic to remove the sump when it arrives to see if he could check the bolts etc.


    I hope this motor is in good repair and has been previously maintained well. Aside from the no of kms, I was unable to get any ore specific info. Good tips about oil etc. will certainly maintain it meticulously.

    We have the same problems here in South Africa, but the guys seems to have found the main problem which is the main bearings and journals.

    It is now a norm to treat the engine with PTFE here by us.

    Does that really work? Doing a quick search on the net there are many that say don't risk it. It could cause clogging. Other swear by it, others still recommend other products like cobol additive.


    Where can I find information, if any, about Teflon additives to land rover TDV6s
