Well you are a bit of an a***h***. Diplomacy is certainly not one of your strongpoints. I have no problem in you pointing me in the right direction but there is no need to be rude about it. 07MY RRS TDV6

Rude? Try reading the post again then look at your response. Name calling proves who is rude and who isn't. Be civil or be somewhere else and no I don't tolerate misinformation when it is so far wrong, if you can't handle that, don't state "fact" 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

I worked in Dunton during the development of the "Lion" engines both V6 and V8 and am back here now after a stint with JLR. I have read the Wikipedia explaination which appears to be accurate apart from the 4.4 which was to go into Ford but they dropped it, it is now built in Mexico for JLR

TDV6 built at Ford Dagenham, TDV8 built in Chihuahua, Mexico (the smallest of a family of diesels built there, mainly for Ford trucks). Petrols built at Ford Bridgend.

Better engines coming from LR soon! A D3 not in drag....

2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Wherever it is built and whoever developed it, the TDV6 is, in my opinion a fabulous engine. It's very quiet and smooth for a diesel and in twin turbo SDV6 form must be a really great engine. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Urimg, search some more to find out who owned Jaguar and Land Rover for much of the same period. (Hint: sound like a Norwegian geographic feature)

Ford owned a number of companies - Jaguar (for a long time), Land Rover, Aston Martin, Volvo (all part of the PAGroup) Mazada etc. There were sharing of "stuff" but companies were technically separate in a number of ways. When Ford needed to make money - Jag was almost worthless, Land Rover on the other hand has always been profitable - so they bundled LR with J to make JLR as an attractive purchase (which almost went bust in 2007 ish as the financial crisis happened)

When LR closed its last engine making capability (the old TD's (TD4 and 5 - although also a german link with BMW) it doesn't mean they don't design and have specific features to, the engines they source from elsewhere. A Jag V8 is different to a LR V8 even though they are also the same (not that that makes any sense!!)

Now LR and Jag are together there are tighter collaborations on a number of things and they are moving to start producing their own engines again. (Just to remind that rover engines as part of the rover group...)

I think the TDV8 is used in other applications actually.

Happy times Mike

TD5 was a pure Land Rover engine. There was a TD6 in the same family but BMW stopped that one. Some of the bottom end of the TD5 is the old L series rover bits.

It would have been a good range if BMW had not stopped it!

Big long stroke straight six instead of the BMW car engine. Oh well.

So the TDV8 isn't a ford engine?

The TDV8 is a Ford engine. Derived from TDV6, it was pilot built at Dagenham before production moved to a Ford plant in Mexico (Chihuahua). A D3 not in drag....
