Thread: Twin Turbo 2.7 Disco

Thanks again guys. So much useful & helpful information out there. The TOPIx site looks useful, what is it & how do you get on it. I like the idea of getting it in writing that it is twin turbo & then having them update, but I've already got enough problems from stress & don't think I need any more .

Apart from the appearance, which is really nice, it appears that the year 2011 update from my 2006 could be worthwhile from the improvement relating to reliability. Is this a correct thought ?

My 2006 has a computer upgrade performed by TR Spares South Aus. I suppose it would be out of the question that the ECU would swap between vehicles.

Thanks again.

The ecus will not swap for at least the reason that a new high-speed can-bus protocol was introduced for MY10, but other incompatibilities too.

I don't think that upgrading from a MY05 2.7 to a MY10 2.7 would be worthwhile for improved engine performance only but may be worthwhile for a later, lower km vehicle overall.

Think not - least the 3.0 is not less problematic than the 2.7 in that department and later 2.7s detonated just as happily.

Other minor changes to the D3 2.7 included a change in fuel filter and emissions regs but these don’t affect reliability.
