Thread: Range Rover TD6 vs RRS TDV6

I've just purchased an L322,admittedly its an 03 model,but when I looked at the RRS I didn't like the shape of it. Prefer the full fat shape.
As for power,its got heaps after coming from a Disco 200tdi..

cheers

Pfft doubt you would have noticed much.. the L322's engine is only 0.5 of a litre bigger .. geez

I now have about 210k kms on my 2005 td6 L322. Done nothing to it other than routine engine oil & filter changes at 22k km intervals. I replaced the pollen filter at 150k km but the old one was spotless. The tyres are usually repalced as often as the engine oil. The front diff drive flange was done under factory recall. I did replace the front suspension struts and rear shocks at 150k km which provided a minor improvement to handling although we then found out that new tyres made a far larger difference.
I have been trying to get around to changing the transmission fluid but not done yet.
I don't think there is anything to be frightened off with high km L322s.
There are plenty of td5 Discos getting around with 500k kms plus.
I'd just factor in about $5k for a transmission o'haul at some stage.
From what I can decipher from others experiences go for August 2005 models and newer. Older L322s may have had suspect fuel pumps and transmission valve bodies.

It moves its arse a lot quicker than my 200tdi

cheers

I reckon the L322 is the best looking LR ever made,, worst gearbox/engine combo ever,, but cant beat the shape

but I believe Garry has already made his decision--

just because you prefer the sister with the eating disorder,,

Thankyou all for your replies, but I'm still wondering about what massive problems a TDV6 would have nearing 200k? As for the L322 TD6, what are the maintenance costs like for routine oil changes and such (On a tight budget+youngest member of AULRO+mechanically have no idea) I would only be using this car for touring and majority of its use would be city.
