Hi all,

I am Charles I recently bought an L405 SV Autobiography after 10 years of Audi ownership it was time for a change, I am hoping the RR community will be just as enjoyable and informative as others I am familiar with. I have a poorly RR at the moment it's currently poring oil down the back of the engine, it was recently serviced and never burnt or leaked oil prior to this. I have checked the oil filter housing and sump etc. I suspect it may be oil cooler from reading a thread on the L322.

Thank you in advance for any advice. It's a TDV8 by the way

Welcome Charles.

If the leak wasn't there before the service, it may well be overspill from the new oil going in or an incorrectly fitted filter housing.

The leaks from the turbo hose and oil cooler tend to be small but noticeable over time.

First thing to do is get the cover off and have a look under the pollen filter housing (at least on an L322 it is)

PS it may be worth taking the car back to whomever serviced it and tell them they've caused a leak!

Hi, please welcome a newbie.
20 years ago I restored a 1972 Range Rover and it runs beautifully to this day.
Having recently retired I decided to treat myself to another V8, this time, diesel.
Frighteningly complex in comparison but such torque!
Having been brought up on Motor Cycle and Car Mechanics magazines, I love reading the problems and solutions.
I guess once an engineer, always an engineer.  Forty years of progress. 1972-2012

Loving the Group since getting my l322 and have got some great advise off amazing people only bit I think that lets some bits down is may be some wiki stuff needs updating as quite a few picture seem to be missing (I understand its picture hosting sites that trying to charge or something for your own picture )
other then that keep it up its great

Hiya guys, I just joined the FFRR family from my 6 years ownership of Freelander 2 this month. It is a Stornoway grey 2011 4.4 Vogue. Very happy owner here!

Hi all,

Forum looks like an encyclopedia of useful knowledge on these cars. I used some buyer's guides I found on here through a google search before buying an '06 V8 SC in Bonatti Grey on Monday.

First impressions of the car are very good as I spent a good few hours going over it before doing the deal - there's so much kit to check it took forever! It is not without a few niggles of course, so I look forward to addressing those now and getting everything tip top.

Nice to meet you all,
Parallel

welcome all

Hi Guys.
I'm a recent owner of a 2004 L322 TD6 Vogue. Decided after owning two Defenders I needed a bit of luxury. Still learning all the peculiarities of the beast. Hoping to take it to Spain in January!!

check the luggage allowance if you're flying...


welcome..

Hi all, became the owner of a L405 SDV8 Autobiography three weeks ago. Have had two L322s previously and my wife acquired a 3.0DSE Velar in May. Really enjoying both cars, although only started driving again today after a two week lay off following my second lumbar spine surgery in three years. Indeed, the latest FFRR was prompted by my neurosurgeon recommending the tallest and comfiest SUV I could buy to replace my Maserati GranCabrio. Couple of photos below:

Greetings (almost seasonal) to all! Vogue SE 4.4 V8, recently acquired. Here's to a long and happy friendship.

Evening all!
