Gday All,
Going looking at a couple of HSE SDV8s this weekend to be used as tow tug and daily driver... Budget dictates they will have 100k km or above so other than a full service history is there anything else i should be looking for.. ie certain parts like alternator age etc..
The D3 towed our van quite well but its had a heart attack and the thought of a D4 and its known crank issues is giving me a heart attack... D5 well dont know enough about other than its got the same tdv6 engine.. so 4.4V8 seems to have been a good choice for others on the forum..

So what side of the country is McGowanastan?
I Googled it and it came up with this AULRO thread
Anyway,back on topic,isn't there something about timing chains failing and costing a heap to repair on the TDV8,or that could be just the earlier models.
A search may reveal more,a search on Google will probably just lead back here....

Mmm timing chain failure will have to see if i can find that.. not interested in pulling any more engines apart after this tdv6..

I think the timing chain and tensioners are only an issue if the recommended service intervals are exeeded. Don't hold me to that.

IIRC it was during MY14 production that a revised secondary turbo drain was fitted whereas earlier engines needed a modification to their drain. The issue was accumulation of oil in the inlet tract if the secondary turbo wasn't used for some time and as the engines have oodles of torque the secondary turbo can go unused for quite some time, obviously dependent upon how the vehicle is driven.
There aren't any timing chain issues. It's an excellent engine mated very well to the 8-speed gbox. You can't have mine!

Mine either!!
The only downside in a D3 to RRS swap is the lost storage space..
The HSE's will have brembo's so 20" rims are the smallest in OE

Yeh i thought about the storage space but the van has enough of that so we should be ok...
Will take notice of the wheels as like most LR they seem to be fitted with a more town bias tyre.

Well that was a disappointment...
1 was a V6 , 1 was sold ages ago but the add and a phone call said it was still for sale.. and the last replied it was still for sale but that was as far as we got, when asked when we could come look there was no reply..
I must admit the 2016 SDV6 was a nice drive with plenty of go.
