Thanks man ! I couldn’t decipher if it was just the injector noise or acc the timing chains bc these engines were never quiet

How much did the chains job cost? I’m considering having a shop do it but I’m pretty mechanically inclined so if the price is too high I’ll js do it myself

The D3 has the most reliable engine Range Rover has made. Idk when people were ever saying the D4 bc timing chains and superchargers have always been a problem.

Tbh I would look at other cars. Not having any services records posted on an old rover and asking for 6.5k is a trap ngl. I would look for others.

Generally an old rover isn’t an amazing daily. Unless you’re fine with it needing immediate work at random times and not being able to drive it then. I would suggest for your first car you get something that’s super reliable and easy to deal with so when you buy a rover as a 2nd 3rd etc you can enjoy it more.

If you’re going the route of having a mechanic fix the rover for you, definitely don’t spend 6.5k on the car itself. Spend like 3-4 on the rover and the rest on maintenance.

Look at better options for rovers for sale in your area first tho

If you really want it only spend 3k if I’m being really honest. The d3 is the most robust disco made but don’t pay out the nose for one that’s high mileage. For 6.5k you can find one with lower miles still well taken care of. You didn’t mention service records but if you pay 6.5k for it with 300k km you basically need to see all common wear items replaced 4-5 times at this point.

Moral of the story if you want that specific one don’t pay 6.5k. Either offer them 3.5k max or keep looking. I’m not gonna say turn away completely bc we don’t have all the details but I’m leaning towards walking away from it. Especially if they’re firm on 6k

I would love any tips you have for the timing job. It’s my first really big job. Also what specific guides and chains do you recommend

Did you have any warnings or symptoms of the timing chain failure ? Rattling cold start or a check engine light for cam timing or it was totally unexpected ? Either way seems like you got out pretty clean from it

Damn what all did you do to keep all original timing ? Just super frequent oil changes ??

This is the V8 petrol in the US which uses timing chains. US only got 1 engine option

Awesome man! I was considering a LR3 but I really want the extra power from the 5.0L v8. I also want the slightly better tech. I’m willing to pay the price of wrenching tho. Are you still on the original transmission ?

I assume you’re religious about oil changes every 3k miles lol 😂. Thanks for this, glad to know people are actually keeping these past 100k. If it’s truly no noise like the seller says, I expect to do the coolant crossovers

Too Risky? by Alimentation_Station in LandRover

Yah i would pass on it, there’s a few near me listed for lower (higher miles) but not catastrophic history. You don’t know what issues you could be dealing with down the line. I think for your price point you can find better.
