Its got the Explorer V6 petrol in it. Only ever seen one other in the UK.

This looks like a canceled export order, a quick spec check on it shows it also just a 5 seater rather than the usual 7 seats the UK market cars have.

Curious. 4.0 petrol V6 yet that would suggest a typo meaning 2.7 TDV6 and yet the rev counter is calibrated to 8,000rpm.

OK, just seen Jeremy's post above. Never knew that. Si. <This is my name.

Its certainly rare over here!

The one I've seen here was owned by a gentleman that swore by it, said it drove beautifully and not *too* thirsty! Laughing

The "LR3" was available here with a V6. The mileage was almost identical to the V8, but the V8's performance was much better. Therefore, the V6's are quite rare. I think the LR4 only comes with the V8. Think of the D3 V6 as the modern version of the Discovery 1 Mpi. Remember those? All the performance of the Tdi and the mileage of the V8. Mr. Green

what an absolutely horrible engine to put in a LR - no ooomph, useless for towing, no torque, gutless when laden with more than 2 people and only offered by LR to get round the Tax advantages for company car's under 2.0 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17
