Guys its all about perspective, if you look over on the Porsche forums there all full of disaster, in reality very few Porsche engines have issues.
The TDV8 is the same properly serviced and with correct care for them they are total mileage monsters, My Overfinch 3.6 2006 TDV8 Stornaway grey with Black leather, is now over 140,000 miles goes beautifully and other than a precautionary EGR valve change out and hoses while it was all in bits its never been an issue and I am sure it will continue to be trouble free so long as its sensibly run and serviced, I looking for a 4.4 but given the trade valuation on my car I will likely sell the Discovery 3 and keep it and the 2nd car. Unless someone is looking for a cracking car?
Car forums always focus on the negative, there are lots of TDV8’s that have never had an issue and likely never will have one, however there are a few that have had issues and the costs are significant I accept.
