Thread: Jaguar Land Rover recall TDV6 engined vehicles

If it's good enough for JLR to do that in Korea that means it should be good enough for us.... doesn't it? Or are the ACCC (or whoever it is) not bothered as it doesn't affect them?
Probably won't do anything until someone who could affect their careers starts jumping up and down.
Only 48K on the clock of mine at the mo but as others have said they can have this problem at any stage so I'll be watching this thread with interest. BUT, I don't fancy my chances of anything being done after warranty runs out as I've never had it serviced by them.
At least that was the excuse they used when the aircon evap. leaked on the Defender.
Well done Kelvo.

x2 for well done Kelvo.

I'm aware that many motors have now done 200plusK km without issue - does that suggest they are now unlikely to fail, and if they did I suspect at that mileage you would not have much comeback?

A small number have failed at over 250,000km with snapped cranks. You’re right that at these mileages it’s getting to arguably serviceable life

250,000 though is not great. A well designed, built and serviced diesel should do 400,000 to 500,000 but in truth these days many diesels run on a knife edge for so many reasons.

Cheers

I agree. I hope to get 350-400,000km out of mine before I'll be ready to switch to the new Defender.

I’m on 199XXXkm nearing the big milestone in the 2.7D. Touch wood, she doesn’t burn a drop of oil and runs like new. Pulls strong as ever.

Still totally original except for belt change, oil pump housing and thermostat housing.

What to do with the EGR valves is my current thinking.

Oil changes at average of 9,350km.

Hoping for 400,000+++ as others have achieved

Fingers crossed

Must get out from under my rock, never heard of this "problem" with the engine. Warranty runs out in May and can extend another 2 or 3 years I think but conditions put me off, have to use their service dept. etc. I will ask my go to at MR Auto of their opinion and make a decision re extending warranty.
At the moment no issues at all but any odd vibrations, ding ding, pull over (probably have the van on) ring Landrover assist etc. Thanks for the info.

Yeah I read the Korean one first …. a few months ago I think.

Common sense would dictate that a groundswell will make LR act …. but they are in the game to make money and just look at VW's disgusting behaviour. Class actions everywhere, yet they fight tooth and nail in every country looking for an out.
