I'm sure the turbo failures are mainly related to the v8 twin turbos. |

Yes mostly agree with that, although I did meet a guy at an RRS meet who needed a new engine via the turbo , but to be honest his was not the best kept RRS i have seen, so maybe he had bullied it !!!! |

Yes guess you a basically right in what you say , problem for me now is i need to use the car to travel in Europe for a while and reliability has become a major issue for me, if the compressor goes could be a pain depending on where I am , heater plugs eh ! not heard much about those , do they get worse in time or do they just quit ? |

They are very prone to breaking when you try to remove them. What should be an hour or 2 to replace turns into a body off/heads off job, costing a couple of grand...

We have a guy locally who does heater plugs for £50 a plug. He can remove broken ones without having to remove the body, found out about him when I attempted to change heater plugs on our disc 3 and ended up taking the body off and heads. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
