One of the menus on the main dash (where that logo is) - I think Vehicle Setup - lets you choose - I have mine as blank, but recall there was an oval logo, a side view of a silver FFRR and a couple of other options.

re "range rover" logo on dash message centre have tried every thing on mine but cannot get any logo other than green oval & thats when selecting DVD with no DVD in slot
perhaps I'm not bright enough to have a RR  various other LR's this one is still the best

Instrument panel is restricted to logo or infotainment info. Central display has choices of pic, clock etc. But not as far as I can tell anything uploaded by the owner.

forgive the thread resurrection, I am hoping you can help me out with some feedback on the reliability & longevity of the SD8 engine.

I'm looking at an RRS right now: 2014 model with 81,000 km. For the next 2 years it's worry-free as it will still be under Land Rover Care Plan until September 2019, but after that...

I don't want to end up with a vehicle that starts eating money if/when things go wrong after I start putting lots of mileage on it

I take it the SDV8 doesn't eat cranks like the SDV6 does?

Any feedback on the reliability & durability of the engine would be most appreciated, thanks

.

anyone?

I've not heard of any issues with the SDV8 on an L405

Couldn't comment on the L494 RRS though - this is the wrong forum for that......

Thanks Alistair.

I know, but the guys in the RRS forums thought there'd be more feedback on the engine here, seeing that there aren't that many SDV8 owners on their side.

@Naks - maybe best to do a search re the SDV8 motors on here. However the only problems Ive seen on here seems to be the oil built-up in the 2nd turbo if you don't drive it like you stole it (similar to your D4) and then oil leak in the valley (between the 2 banks of cylinders).

Btw, you now looking at a tractor instead of the SCV6?

Thanks, I've done a search, but not much comes up in the shape of problems, issues, etc., - surely a good sign.

What I have found is that NONE of the SCV6 vehicles in ZA were equipped with the rear e-diff, only the SCV8 & SDV8 were. Since I want to use the vehicle for off-roading, I might as well get one that can do it better

but I'm staying far away from the crank-eating SDV6 for sure
