Hi,
I am very strongly thinking of swapping my D3 for FFRR TDV8
What shell I be aware of when inspecting before committing to buy?
is there known list of typical things going? I understand I need to check all electric gizmos on inspection and try TR in all settings including low range and all
Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers

4.4 or 3.6?

3.6 - 4.4 too way out of my budget
cheers

Generally a very reliable engine. Same as fitted in the RRS. Obviously as with any Range Rover, check the suspension works, high range low range etc. Electrical gremlins will be the main issue if any.

there are a few posts in 'general' from others asking the same question...have a read.. ... - .- -.

been reading all I could find but no so much details on typical faults with L322 with that motor

especially interested in longevity of suspension systems / compressor and all sensors associated

electrical issues causing car to limp?!

most common motor problems and general details on issues with those car just to be ready what to look out for
cheers

As long as you have access to a good service engineer most problems can be overcome with out too much stress. TDV8 3.6 is a lovely car, plain and simple. They drive well and you feel good driving them. Steve B

D3 I drive is also cool to drive and plain simple unless it breaks it that seems to be somewhat complicated
will keep on reading and when time comes will give the seller few hours of hell to get it right or sort of right
cheers

Brembos still there upfront, but not branded as brembos anymore.

No Brembos on the 2010 3.6 TDV8, they're two-piston cast iron sliding calipers.

I thought Brembos were out for 2010, then reinstated for 2011.

I think 2010s will take a 19" wheel but 2011s can only take a 20" - the difference being the front brakes. Not branded Brembo though.

Brembo brakes were dropped for 10MY and reintroduced for 11MY but branded RANGE ROVER rather than Brembo. MY11 Vogue models came standard with 19" wheels, although 10MY 19" wheels will not fit 11MY or 12MY vehicles.
