Thread: Engine Failure on 3.0lt SDV6 help.

Interesting that the buying guide for Velars in a late 2020 LRO also mentions this in the engine section by one of the experts in UK. (AFAIR Black Paw)

Only GBP5k for a new 4litre there apparently.

What current/modern LR uses a 4 litre engine? I didn't think Velers had a 4 litre engine in any form.

Sorry 3 litre, D4

Perhaps some research into this, and if it's factual then include that in your various correspondences.

Start about 16 minutes in:

Dragging this up...

Yes, my son has one... Theres always a catch..

If it has failed completely they will examine the engine, and if it has failed due to the issue - you get a new one.
If its showing symptoms of failing and not within a specific VIN range (and several are outside of it) - then it needs to be stress tested.
If you have this done, and it passes - you pay for the test - even if the symptoms of the failure are there when diagnosed.
If it fails - you get a new motor

But all your old gear gets bolted to it

there is no case on 2.7, just corro paper, even with a tin spin on you will not contaminate filtrate, use a knife

I serviced our Subaru today, and will do the Defender tomorrow.
There's no way your getting into either of those filters with a knife.
It would be a hacksaw or grinder.

Just like Toymota do after a dusted V8D.

good luck and I'm so sorry for your grief, tis why our discos sell for one third of the price Land Cruisers do and it's going to stay that way, mind you second hand discos are priced right, Lcs are not

Rather than cut up old filter and trust your eyes...it's a lot easier to take an oil sample whilst draining and send it off to the lab.
Apart from wear materials such as iron, chrome, copper, PQ Index, etc it will also report such things as % fuel present (due to over fueling), water/sodium (head gasket or water ingress somewhere) etc etc.
Comprehensive report and well worth the munney.
Purchase from a Komatsu or Caterpillar Dealer (or others) and follow the instructions. Dead easy.
I've just started doing it again, at 156,000 klms the results were very pleasing.
