hi, i was browsing the RRS forum and someone asked when the jag engine was fitted to the RRS, i replyed not sure about the RRS but on the vogue around 07 started using them on just after the face lift when they went over to the new interior,
i got this reply
The Jag engine was only ever fitted to the RRS

am i missing something  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
1976 Harley Davidson Iron Head Sportster

The RRS never had BMW engines, that what I think is meant - i.e. the RRS was only ever fitted with the Jag engine

They were developed around and launched with the PSA/JLR engine range.

Erm...I believe the car I bought today (07 Supercharged FFRR) has the Jaguar 4.2 Supercharged lump (same as the XKR) in it. Think the person that wrote that is, not to put too fine a point on it, a numpty.  Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

ok yes i see what you are saying.. so they were fitted with jag engines from day one.. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Quite correct. And another one which confuses people is the 4.4 in the D3 V8 and the 4.4 in the early FFRR are completely different engines.
FFRR is BMW
D3 is Jag 4.2 bored out to give a bit more torque.

Thinking about the RRS, it came along in 2005 and right from the start it had the Ford based infotainment system, never the earlier BMW stuff. The diesel engines were the Ford/Peugeot TDV6 and TDV8 units, never the straight TD6 BMW unit.

TBH, aside from the small bits which are common to them all there was very little evidence of BMW left in LR products by 2005, The remaining common parts are those which would be catalogue items anyway, i.e. no point in designing from scratch as perfectly good stuff available off the shelf, Brake calipers etc.

Worth noting the AJV8 (Jag Engine) and variants was used in all the post "Facelift" L322 other than the TD6 which remained the BMW lump until the AJV8 TDV8 came along in 2006.

Leading on from Gaz's last comment, what are people's experiences of the post facelift (ie 2006MY on) N/A Jag 4.4 V8 in the L322 ? - NOT the supercharged car
Has anyone on here got one ?
I seem to have read previously it's not too bad on fuel and considerably quieter than the BMW V8 . . . .
Can anyone back this up ?

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I have had a few and they run great, very powerful and smooth.

As with the SC its good that it quiet at low revs and turns into a howling banshee when you put your foot down.
