The 2.7 motor does seem to be more durable. It’s well capable of the moon and back and gives 230 bhp on a simple remap.Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007

Balance up the risk of the crank snapping vs the bearing shells rotating.

Neither. Get a RRS TDV8 or Supercharged. None if this gutless engine nonsense. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

2008 RRS TDV8
