My experience has been that no one wants to touch a LR. The response is often “sorry we don’t stock Land Rover parts”.
The 3.6 tdv8 is a good reliable motor. But one look under the bonnet at the maze of fuel, air and coolant hoses gives an indication of the number of hoses that can let go. For example about a year ago one of the plastic connectors on a fuel line to the filter let go and fuel was pouring out everywhere with the motor going. The hose was good but plastic connector spontaneously broke. I was close to home so was able to drive it home with a trail of fuel to my drive way. A 5 min easy job to change the hose after I got the specific part.
