Hello everyone I’m a new owner to a 2007 2.7 hse sport love it so far! It’s on 135k miles part history, suspension works great and so does everything else. I travel nearly 70 miles a day would this be ok for the car? It has a small oil leak which is the crank shaft seal which I’m planning to get done. I have had a full service on the car and it drives as it should. The wheel bearings will need to be done too mechanic said slight noise from front not major. Any advice on ownership please? Thanks in advance

Best thing you can do is read the forum everything you need to know is here.

Hi and welcome,

70 miles a day is much better for the car than those that only travel 7 miles a day

as said ^ have a search and read, think its Timken for the wheel bearings

my 2.7's all liked 2sO in the fuel  Porsche Cayenne 2022
gone Porsche Cayenne 2020
gone Corris Grey HSE Dynamic 2016
gone Ipanema HSE lux 2010
gone Rimini HSE 2005

Thank you

70 miles a day in one go or as a total split across a couple of journeys is great. It's doing a handful of miles in town that they hate.

Get decent wheel bearings fitted - the cheap ones are cheap for a reason and won't last. Make sure the garage (assuming they're not a LR specialist) is aware of the later, lower, torque settings for the hub nut. The original very high setting led to premature failures.

Treat it well - decent oil and filters at the correct intervals (or sooner) and it'll do you well. Ignore snake oil salesmen. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I’m doing 35-40 each. Way to work so 70-80 total for the day, what mpg should I expect to be getting says it’s hitting around 25 is that normal? Absolutely love the car, I know people say they are prone to problems but I suppose if you treat it well it will treat you well? Other niggley bit is bottom boot button is stuck and won’t open the bottom but the glass opens, and sensors don’t seem to work or the cruise lol making it sound w**k but it’s great just need to spend a bit of time sorting few minor things.

If it does have the strengthened oil pump you should get this done with the seal.

It may have been dine, hence the leak.

I was doing 64 miles a day on mainly a dual carriage way. I was getting an actual 28mpg but the lie-ometer said it was 32mpg. Maintenance is key to these complicated cars. Find a good indie and the myth these are so unreliable will be put to bed. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.
