I'm sure there must be a full stop in there somewhere

As for the fuel thing, not heard of that before.
My advice would be to look around for a better one if you have doubts, there's plenty about.

+1 on Nik's advice, if in the slighest doubt then don't. The low fuel thing sounds like bo ks to me! Typical Crapstones sales pitch.

thanks gather the the tdv8 is the one to go for over the tdv6 are they a more reliable engine
yes i think sales man got to say something
4x4 country up here lad  paul

there is little difference in reliability of the lumps, the TDV8s "suffer" popped alternators sometimes, for example.

the salesman is LYING to you - low fuel does not activate limp-home. There is something wrong with the car and surprise surprise he is telling you anything he can think of to gloss over that fact.

given he works for I'm not surprised.. they once told me suspension tolerance between corners (meaning the heights) had a tolerance of 30%  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Cheers for that info so td 6 are ok just was nice clean one
It s frightening reading all faults was looking forward to getting one liked them since they came out
In 70s will pull him on this one c wot he says thanks will keep you posted

hi, there
well finaly did it purchased tdv 6 2.7 08 rrs hse from ....stone, did end up buying the one mentioned with low fuel putting it into limp mode ! was a load of crap it happend again when i had another test drive they got technician to check it out and they found out it was an acctuatore arm on turbo that was sticking they replace this and it drove like a different car much more power etc so did end up buying it .... cost for job on turbo £385 not to me though.
plus it had £685 on new discs and pads new suspension bushes full service filters etc they gave me a copy of all worshop cost etc plus two new tyres got full lr 12 month warranty . all in all not a bad deal i think !
well thats it see how it goes do like it cant get wife out of it she loves .
thanks for info will proberly be on forum a lot more now . paul

i didnt think you could replace the accuator rod on a turbo, at best you just give a shed load of freeing and lubrication agents and hope for the best 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

your proberly right it says on read out fitted new acctuator 3 studs gasket o ring washer/ oil tube . but touch wood seems ok at mo
mechanic said they get stiff and need freeing and lubricating so i said can i have a new one fitted which i thought thats wot they have done according to paper work from work shop, you probly right thothey probly freed it you can never be sure with main dealers !! thanks for info though cheers paul paul

Lack of power, P132B or P132E stored in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module)

Possible Cause:
Clevis bolt seized into the actuator arm.

Action:
If seizure of the clevis bolt is identified as the root cause, the current service repair is to replace the turbocharger assembly.

Turbochargers are now supplied to the latest condition containing a greased actuator pivot arm/bolt.

Cut off vin numbers are as follows –
Range Rover - AA316114 (3.6 TDV8)
Range Rover Sport – AA229558 (3.6 TDV8) and AA232709 (2.7 TDV6)
Discovery – AA526504 (2.7 TDV6)
