Yet JLR (Excluding S Korea and China) still deny there is an issue with the TDV6/SDV6 engines :bat:
Interesting news this week that JLR has laid off 4000 employees largely due to their range being predominantly diesel powered.
Diesel emissions are becoming increasingly restricted in Europe and a swing towards EVs in the long run. A strong petrol engine resurgence in meantime.
Bad news for us here.
Wouldn’t take much more than a major engine recall globally to tip all but the strongest companies over the edge.
OFMG. JLR made up seven of their top ten claims? Engine. Engine. Engine. Engine. Engine. Engine. Engine. Engine. Threw in a Jag but that’s the same thing.Quote:

I think the result are a bit misleading though. They've split the vehicles into individual models, so you have Discovery 4, which has a total of 3 model lines, all with the same engine (can't buy a petrol in the UK, ever), up against other vehicles with multiple engine options and several badge types.
A bad result either way.
The Disco 4 was sold with petrol engines in the UK - first the 5 litre V8 then the Supercharged V6.Quote:

The 2.7 was replaced by the more powerful 3.0-litre SDV6 in 2011, with lower exhaust emissions partly thanks to its new eight-speed automatic gearbox. A 3.0-litre V6 was offered, too, but UK buyers were denied a petrol V8 engine this time.
The 3.0l petrol supercharged V6 was available in the UK as it was listed in the MY15 UK sales brochure reference LRML 4619/14.
Well that's sort of correct. The "3.0 TDV6" (180kw 600nm) was replaced by the SDV6 (188kw 600nm) and the 2.7 TDV6 was replaced by the 3.0 "TDV6" (155kw 500nm), the 5.0 V8 which was available with the original D4 was replaced by the 3.0 SCV6 (super charged petrol)Quote:

Here's the thread of a guy considering importing a petrol v8. Also a few people confirming they were never sold in the UK....
