So the engines are rubbish because yours failed ?
How many have failed ? What's the service history of your vehicle ? How long have you owned it ? How many Km ?
I heard about these problems a while back and was concerned because I run a Territory diesel.
Haven't seen any mention on the Ford forum (but I haven't visited for a while).
Great engine that seems to have had a problem with a certain batch and/or poor servicing causing problems. How Land Rover handle the engine failures is the issue.
TDV6 crank and crank bearing failures
