Hello all, I have been passionated at Jagaur for 14 years with 10 jags, I am now planing to buy a 2007 Land Rover RRS TDV6S. but i need some advices please, I am wandering how is the engine, power? what should i expect like repairs at 55000km?


I can't tell if there is a gps? navigation system?

Thank you. tdv6s 2.7 2007

S is the base model that isn't available in the UK. Only in Disco. But won't have sat nav, unlikely to have heated seats or any other toys.
55000 km is @ 38000 miles so it depends on age. TDV6 needs timing belts at 115000 miles or ten years but should be done before that. Expect to do heater plugs about the same time. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Timing belts should be done at 7 years not 10...

Depends where you take it and if the plugs come out as known to be a problem.
TDV6 requires two belts, front is reasonably easy, the rear is a pain. I think dealers charge £1000 to supply and fit belts and tensioners. Rolling Eyes
Heater plugs can cost £60 or Several thousand. If plugs don't come out, body off and remove heads, lots of work. Several independents can remove seized plugs for £60 each in the car. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

About the oil change is it due like for the jags every year or is it more time? tdv6s 2.7 2007

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 S Buckingham Blue

Hello guys,

so I went to try the range today and i think I will be buying it tomorrow or the day after.
One question,
I think the wheel are 18'', i found the suspension not so firm even in low position, what could improves this, new wheels bigger, or new shocks, the car is only 50000 km, but from 2007? and also lot of noise with the dashboard.

any ideas, I like the color a lot navy blue.
here is the ad: it is indeed blue, the dealer who have it, listed it as black...by chance i found the owner so i got it for cheaper.

thanks tdv6s 2.7 2007
