Thread: 10 Years

In much the same situation with my 2007 TD.6 Sport , New front diff , lower control arms , new compressor and alternator , and various other bits and pieces . valuation is just about at rock bottom , and if crank shaft goes it becomes a garden gnome .

No plans to sell or trade as serves its purpose well and will drive untill what ever , just because the valuation is low dose not mean its caput only has 168k , still a great drive .

Well done.
My 2010 D4 is at the 200k mark also.
I've only owned it for 40k and 3 years.
unfortunately I've done
Timing belts,
LCAs front
HP fuel pump $$
Alternator
and the air compressor is getting very tired


What is a LRBT Bluetooth audio module? does it enable bluetooth audio to a low spec radio? Its the only thing i wish my D4 had. the AUX isn't the same.

I remember when you posted up at 4 years. time flies.

Mines 10 years in two weeks. 204K now. I have had it from new. About a third towing 3.5 tonne.

Its never left me stranded but have done all the usual things.

LCAs

Front wheel bearings 120K

Replaced both turbos when timing belts done, but think real issue was warped exhaust manifold, which was replaced later. 150K

Water inlet

Transmission rebuilt 180K

Both inlet manifolds replaced. (did both when one started to leak)

Oil cooler replaced at same time to fix oil leak.

AC compressor last week, AC is good again now.

Still original starter, alternator and compressor. (did replace the drier at about 4 years)

Front oil seal has not popped out.

Crank shaft still good.

My 2010 is in a similar position. Too good to scrap but not worth much to sell. Mine is at 290,000 hard km of rough road touring and towing for most of its life as well as a long stint as daily drive around town.

My AC compressor has just failed for the second time and they want $6000 plus to fix it as it needs everything replaced due to contamination, including the TX valve, which apparently requires dash removal to change. At this stage we will just keep it without an air con, but I may decide to fix it at some time in the future.

Mine was good up till around 200,000, when everything started going wrong, AC compressor, manifolds, turbos, radiator, transfer case, rear tail shaft intermediate bearing, hand brake, a few shocks front and rear, several LCA's etc etc. Transmission and engine is still fine, although it has had many transmission oil changes as it does get very hot when towing if you look at the temps on an ODBII. The temp gauge never moves, however.

There are still no issues with electronics or body and no squeaks or rattles anywhere, other than the LCA's which need replacing again. The EPB failed for a second time a year or two ago and won't be replaced this time. Cleaning and adjustment didn't fix it.

We mainly use it for serious off roading and as a spare car (we have three LR's and my son has two so we need a spare!!) and use the TDV6 Vogue for towing and touring and a fair bit of off roading, these days.

Mine was similar, hit 7 years and 200k and things started to fail/break, with the last major item being the complete failure of the Primary turbo compressor wheel that also damaged the secondary, so that was two new turbo's plus incidentals. I don't currently have working A/C or radio either. The clock spring in the steering column is playing up as well, with the buttons misaligning on occasion.

Work done has been;
Both inlet manifolds after one failed
LCA's (multiple times)
EPB replaced
Compressor replaced (warranty)
Rear upper tailgate release
Coolant level sensor and tank (replacement is giving the same errors again)

Buttons mis aligning isn’t necessarily the clock spring per say. I had that issue. Volume up was down etc. Fix was battery disconnect, remove airbag, unclip steering wheel switch connectors and use a contact cleaner to clean the plug male and female ends. Put it back together again. Took longer to make a small tool to remove the airbag than the entire fix.

My AC was fixed with a new displacement valve in the compressor rather than a whole new compressor (but I obviously don’t know why yours isn’t working).
