    Allegedly Ford has re worked its 3.0 with a stronger crank. Only going by what I have read. Hopefully that will make the 3.0 a reliable long life beast. Cheers

    The new Defenders all have ingenium engines, built in house by JLR, and they are a straight 6. No relation to the PSA/Ford V6 engine platform as used in the discovery range.

    Fingers crossed they sorted the Ingenium issues out.
    We will know as each engine gets around 80-90k on it.

    Yep, these engines have been around since 2015, so there should be some high mileage units around already, say 160,000 to 180,000km on average. Not that I have actively searched, but not seen many (won't say any) mainstream news of catastrophic failures of this engine family.

    Talk to TRS and a few others in the game and you may be slightly more concerned.

    Not as bad on the 6. But the 4s have a shocking reputation.

    When I took my GFs Discovery Sport into Dovers for a pre purchase inspection they were concerned it was an Ingenium engine. Thankfully hers was the old Freelander 2 engine that was solid.
    They have replaced so many Ingenium engines in DS and RR Evoque. They even said the got a replacement engine from LR for one Evoque that didn’t even get out of the car park before failing.

    They said it was the worst engine LR ever made. I am sure they’ve learnt from the early years.

    This was the 4 cylinder specifically.

    The 6 is an unknown quantity as it has not been around for very long.

    But the 4,it was a shocker.

    Build slot confirmed just after Christmas, ETA Barbagellos mid March 2023. That's 9 months earlier than expected. Getting a bit excited...full digital dash confirmed ( this was one of the unknowns when I ordered) the demo had a hybrid digital / analogue display.

    Mine was 7 months 2 weeks and 5 days from placing the order! But I wasn't counting . I picked it up last Tuesday with its full digital dash! Amazing vehicle.
