    It's the original factory screen. Did you watch the video?

    I did. Looks pretty smooth.
    will keep you in mind when I end up with one - which state are you in?

    To reboot an old thread. I'm also in the market for a 2013-2016 SDV8 4.4 diesel L405 .
    What are some common faults to look out for . Probably be looking at a car with around 100,000 kms on the clock
    So how have you been going so far . Anything major go wrong.
    Currently have an L322 TD6
    Thanks for your help guys

    L405 reliability

    Watching with interest.

    I’m pretty certain the 4.4 tdv8 also has plastic intakes and thermostat housing, and so be problem with age, like the other Ford motors used by JLR (equally applies to other makes).

    The pop up auto selector has been an issue on some D4s so same would apply to the L405 (not heard of a prob with L494 auto selector).

    I just had a prob with coolant hoses going soft with age (applicable to any car) so will apply to an older L405 or L494. The tdv8 has a lot of hoses. The EGR cooler can also be a failure point on any modern diesel. A mates ford ranger EGR cooler failed requiring a fairly expensive repair (even though thankfully no major engine damage).

    Plastic connectors on fuel hoses age particularly at fuel cooler end. I’ve experienced this on my tdv8 L322. Not expensive to fix yourself. But a huge issue if it happens when a long way from home.

    The variable shocks are an expensive longer term consumable. The front air spring/dampener assembly will be approaching an age requiring replacement (like any in the JLR range).

    The tdv8 L322 2015 or 2016 seem to be the pick from what I’ve read before going to Adblue, a smaller fuel tank but after JLR fixed the turbo oil hose issue.

    At one stage I was very keen to move from my L322 to a L405 or maybe L494. They are such a nice and yet very capable vehicle. But very complex and upkeep as they age has put me off. So will prob end up with something much newer, less upkeep, but not as good. There’s always a compromise whether it’s a L405 or something more common. I hope the above is useful.

    Thanks RAR110

    That's sort of what I've been seeing as well . Yet to have a drive as there are none in my area . Well there was but we were in COVID lockdown . It was a petrol not diesel but had beautiful tan interior , only one I've seen in tan. Now sold before I could get a look.

    Currently do nearly all my own work on my L322 TD6. Owned for the last 10 years , now with nearly 200,000 kms. Just replaced all the shocks & air bags . Thinking I had a leak. Maybe , Maybe not. Ended up replacing ECU to fix my problem .

    With any car you will have to keep up the maintenance

    What ever I buy , if I buy , I will be putting 20" rims on it with slightly large tyres . Just for the extra side wall. Road around here have lots of pot holes

    I see from another post that the rims are -47 mm

    But in my way of thinking -53 could work to depending how 20" & 22" rims are measured . Because 22" rims are an 1" wider that 20" rims
    22" x 9.5 " , 21" x 9.5" & 20" x 8.5"
    Or am I wrong and the 22" rims are not centered the same as 20" rims

    Does anyone have long term experience with the 5.0 SC V8? Did these come standard with the e-diff? What's the typical fuel consumption like (conservatively, I appreciate there's a direct relationship to the loud pedal!)

    I'm also contemplating turning over my 2016 D4 in the next 6-12 months. Fortunately I've got the e-diff now and would love to have it in the next vehicle.

    TIA

    The L405 4.4 TDV8 engines were from the outset fitted with the only revision of the inlet manifolds and intake that have occurred. I suspect they were introduced in the later L322 engines and when other documented minor improvements occurred in early 2012 engines. The thermostat housing which also serves the purpose of the water outlet is comprised of multiple parts screwed together, unlike the D3/D4 water outlet which comprises of parts moulded together so may not suffer the same finite life as the D3/D4 component.

    Ive owned my 3.6 L322 for 7 years. It’s a great car, I love it. But I don’t want to do this much work again. When I sell it someone will pick up a nicely looked after car.

    The motor itself is solid (oil & filter change every 10k km) now at 297k km, but its the stuff that hangs off it that can age/fail. Ive replaced the trans/transfer case, front spring assembly, alternator, Ac compressor, pulley tensioners/belt, water pump, trans cooler, fuel hoses, some coolant hoses, and had the roof/bonnet repainted. The thermostat housing was replaced about 275k km, so is prob due again now. About the only other thing is starter and turbos. EGR disabled years ago.

    Currently the audio system has stopped working. It will be something simple, just need to find it.
