REF new 2.2 engine one land rover 90/110 has anyone got one

[twmarriott]

Are the 2.4's much better than a TD5?

 

NO

we had an 09 2.4 out the box, 30000 miles in 2 years falling to bits, 5 diffs 2 complete axles, threw it back at them....

test driven a 2.2 not much better just shiney....

got a TD5 remapped 200hp over a ton far superior bit of kit... landrover have out sourced most of the parts to china to make more £££ and theyre cheaper parts not up to the job....

i know 4 other 2.4 owners that have also got rid, from 2007-2011, one only did 400 miles.... sadly landrover have lost the plot and mojo..

HI MATE our last td5 xs 06 was like that it last 6 weeks i sold it my old td5 was good so my get a old one thanks jon

the td5 did have some teething problems but i know the technical editor at LRO asked him... an to quote him, "look how many low milage 2.4s there are about... then think why..." enough said, so what do you recomend, get a late td5 he said.... so thats what we did... sound.

i don't think the 2.2 is much better, the td5 could have done with more, better re mapped but making a smaller engine is rediculous... the new one is certainly not different enough in a test drive to make me go oooh i want one, landrover told us with the 2.4 there were no problems, funny why did they change the engine then... i've got a priceless letter from the dealer saying how sorry they are but they don;t know why its doing it or what to do about it.... in teh end they offered us 4k of a new one... no thanks i'd just like the 21k one i bought off you to work and not break up at 30,000miles...

the reason its unstable is that to save money they mounted it higher to save making a different sump to the transit.... they reconed at over 85 it can get unstable hence the limiter, certainly in comparison to a tdi / td5 it wasn't so good, and in my opinion handled the worst out the lot even an old series 2a i had, just quicker...
