This fault applies to the LR2 2.0Lt A common fault to happen to most of the Land Rover Freelander 2 is the mechanical failure of the turbo. In most cases is Range Rovers and Land Rovers, the turbo failure is caused by oil starvation. This is not the case in the LR2 (although oil starvation will still damage these turbo chargers). The issue with the LR2 Turbo chargers is actually caused but the design and production process of the turbo and exhaust manifold. The turbo charger

This fault applies to the L538 Range Rover Evoke 2.0Lt A common fault to happen to most of the Range Rover Evoke L538 is the mechanical failure of the turbo.

As we have covered in previous articles, the vehicles fitted with the TD4 are not operating in the intended environment when the car is used for city driving and stop start driving which many of us are doing when we buy these cars. One of the ramifications of this stop start city driving is the engine is not given the opportunities it needs to “breath”. This causes a large build up of carbon on the inside of the inlet manifolds and specifically the EGR valve. Once this carbon

This article covers the 2.2 TD4 Engine on the Land Rover Evoke. There are two common causes for the turbo issues on this engine. The first is the electronic actuator for the turbo and the second is mechanical failure of the turbo itself. The electronic actuator Common symptoms of this failure are the vehicle being in restricted power mode and theCheck engine light may be illuminated. Fault codes P0237 - Turbo boost sensor, P0047 – Turbocharger boost control solenoid circuit,

There are a number of common faults to watch out for on the Land Rover Discovery 4. Overall these are not a bad car however consumers need to know that you are buying a high end vehicle and with that comes the high end cost of things failing and fact that the more features the car has the more failures are possible of those features. The first thing with all Land Rovers is the frequency of servicing. Land Rover advises every 26,000kms and we disagree with that. We have covere

There are a number of common faults to watch out for on the Range Rovers. This article covers the TDV6 Engine we have another one to cover the 2.2 int eh Evokes.

The TDV6 engine that is fitted to both Range Rovers and the Land Rovers are common for turbo failure. As with any vehicle manufacturer the cause for this is always either oil starvation or over heating or both. The TDv6 is no different. The main cause for this failure is lack of servicing. We have covered the land rover and range Rover vehicle service schedule in another article which you can read up on here. The core point of that article is applicable with this fault. 26,00

The TDV6 in a Land Rover Discovery 4 has a few common faults, one of them is the oil leaks that start up from the sump gasket. This is something that is very common and almost all of them will require replacing at some point throughout the life of the vehicle. It goes without saying that you get this repair done at the same time as an oil change, this is two birds with one stone and the costs will be less for you. This oil leak is normally so bad that the vehicle will fail a

A very common fault with the TDV6 which is fitted to both the Discoveries and the Range Rovers is for the plastic inlet manifold to split. This is a wear and tear type fault that almost all TDV6's will come across at some point throughout its life. Unfortunately the plastic just is not up to the task of the boost pressures and temperatures that are involved. The symptoms of this are the following. 1. High pitch whistle noise in the engine bay 2. Smoke from the engine bay whil

Land Rover and Range Rover were obviously designed and built in parts of Europe that have access to freeways and high speeds such as the autobahn in Germany. Whilst these countries also have highly congested cities similar to Sydney and Melbourne, these vehicles were not actually made for those driving conditions. In recent times the vehicle brand has become popular in affluent households across major cities and the vehicles are used for trips to shopping centers, coffee shop

All vehicles have a list of common faults and the Discovery 4 is no different. Various things are common across this vehicle from engine issues, oil leaks and brakes but one fault that seems to plague every single discovery 4 ever made is the bushes in the front lower control arms. This is a problem that also effects Subaru's, Mercedes Benz and Honda CRVs. That is to say this is not a design defect on Land Rovers part, rather it's a common component to wear out across many di

If you are thinking about buying a Land Rover discovery 4 or you already have one, no doubt you are well informed of the issues surrounding the rate of which these vehicles go through brakes. If not, read on and we shall enlighten you. Basically in city driving the Land Rover chews through a set of front brakes in around 20,000kms we have seen some variations on this however not much. This is made worse in vehicles that are used for towing, lots of off road work or those that

What is the cost of a TDV6 Timing belt replacement? When do i need the timing belt replaced on my TDV6? The Land Rover and Range Rover TDV6 engine runs a timing belt that requires replacement every 100,000Kms. In fact this engine actually has two belts. The first is the main timing belt that keeps the cam and crank shafts in synchronization with each other. The second belt is another toothed belt on the back of the engine that needs replacing at the same time. This belt is fo

The Range Rovers and the Land Rovers TDV6 are fitted with a external water pump. That is to say the pump is not driven by a timing belt or chain. The good news about this is that unlike many Japanese vehicles, when the pump fails there is not extravagant labor costs to access the pump. Unfortunately with the Land Rover and Range Rover TDV6 this pump is commonly known to fail. The internal seal fails allowing coolant to access the bearing for the pump and in turn the coolant l

The petrol V6 supercharged engine is known for a common fault relating to the timing chain and or the hydrolic tensioners for the timing chains. Either one or both of the following faults are common on these engines which will all give the same symptoms. The Chains themselves stretch. This causes the crank shafts and camshafts to be out of synchronization with one another. Whilst this can be ever so minuscule, modern engines require the timing to be within fractions of an inc
