There are a few very interesting articles on the FB site called "Discovery 4 Crank Failing" in the UK. One article by JPSK Motors Pty Ltd is well worth a read. Essentially, they are of the opinion the problem can be traced to the extended oil change periods and/or incorrect oil being used.
Thats interesting. A friend (not on here) who worked for JLR was also saying that the TDV6 absolutely has to have oil changes done on time.Quote:

No better than the D2 V8 but with a pretty big difference in repair costs unfortunately. CheersQuote:

think you'll find that relates to the f series trucks from what i have seen discussed.Quote:

Sounds like a good reason to replace blown LR 2.7's with Territory motors assuming they are built differently.Quote:
