Thread: Problem with td6

very interested in this thread. Its the third td6 I have heard of with major fatal issues. Very low number compared to other landrover engines.

It did win "engine of the year" a heap of times in europe, and the latest incarnation of it was nearly twice the power with twin-turbos.
Just going from memory, I think the RR one is 138bhp and 390Nm, but they produced and sold the same basic engine somwhere around 225bhp and 510Nm!!!
So ours should be pretty much bullet-proof if looked after.
Edit:
272bhp and 560 Nm!!!

Here

Cheers,

Wow, nice figures they get out of them now - if I could trust my trannie, I would definately chip the engine - I'm sure it would be up to it. As JSP mentioned - haven't heard of many issues with these engines.

Just between you and me "that's what I thought" ;-)


But, if you did go for a manual, Boy, could you go a long way!!

But that's what the Classic is for, right?

Could you imagine 272 and 560 in one of these?
Jeeeezzzuussss!

Not wrong - that would be awesome!!! What box do they use on those engines....

But yeah, the Classic is where I will be focusing my efforts/money for a while...

Landed and delivered everything on it engine with 45k miles (70k km) under $5000. Better than Oz.

Interesting point about the versions of the engine, too. I wonder if the uprated engines would be a viable transplant?

Cheers. I'll keep the thread posted as it evolves.

Or even better 210 kw / 286 HP at 4400rpm & 580 Nm at 1750-2250 rpm. Fitted to BMW X5 2007 until present +++++.
Now that would be a nice heart transplant.

Easy transplant, successfully finished.

Vehicle is back to running like a clock, but the owner is a bit bleary about the now non-original Range Rover! I told him I'd have it if he was donating it!!

BTW, the original donk ran every white metal bearing surface in its innards...my bro was amazed it had run so long without major rod breakage or piston seizure.... in a word - boat anchor (two words).
