buying a sport

hi, i have just joined the groupe
i am looking at buying a
Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2007 2.7 turbo diesel engine
my question is, is this motor any good.
i am not familiar with the sport at all
any advice would be good
this vehicle has been put up for sale and has no keys, so i am buying it blind
thanks

England 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

The engine has various expensive failure modes.

Snapped cranks
Spun bearings
Timing lost due to oil pump (2007 particularly bad)

So I would want to hear it run

What country are you in ?? Best option is the petrol engine.

Looks like the Aussie flag to me, I would guess Western Australia. Smile

No keys? No thanks! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
