Sep 7, 2008. #1. When I bought my new Discovery 3, almost 3 years ago, I didn't realise that having an automatic gear box would mean that the car would choose a gear it fancies and stay in it for some time. The other week I drove from North to South and the blighter was stuck permanently in 3rd gear. I suppose it could have been worse. This problem only affected early Discovery 4 TDV6 models from 2010 to 2013 in the VIN range AA510178 to DA676456, along with Range Rover Sport and the 2013 Range Rovers that used the same TDV6 engine. The problem was subject to a Land Rover Technical Bulletin issued in 2013, and then a later bulletin LTB00487V6 issued in 2015. But this was only DISCO 3 SE 2006 model: leaking oil from what looks like between oil and fuel cooler. Have to replace the entire unit as apparently there are no service kits available ie O rings and gaskets. Any solutions to problem. Could it be leaking elsewhere 18 hours work to replace it ?? 2012/08/16, 08:50 PM #2. This video was done for my colleague at work, however feel free to use this video to help with your Land rover Discovery 3 not starting in the cold weather, A new fitted crate long engine including labour depending on how much they decide to charge you for the engine should be around $12,500 to $13,500 all up. Especially if they order the engine as a stock item which means they then get a even bigger discount. if they charge you full RRP then it would be a lot more. The 3.0 SDV6 and TDV6 engine problems are the results of the engine being maintained incorrectly, which has led to many internal problems and damages. Many drivers and owners are unaware of the dangers that come with using and servicing a 3.0 engine in the wrong way which can lead to costly repairs. Here is what we are going to cover: One of the common problems we fix with the TDV6 engine from Discovery 3, Discovery 4, and Range Rover Sport as the vehicles get older is EGR valves – Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valves. The EGR system is a method that has been developed by engineers to reduce emissions from engines. They open only at idle, and at full throttle, to allow some of Turns out Land Rover does sell a non-DPF version of the L494 in certain markets, would likely cost a fortune but I’m curious how a guy would go about getting those parts over to North America…. Another, potentially cheaper option I might look into is whether one of the many full DPF delete/turbo-back kits available for the 3.0 Powerstroke WATCH THIS FIRST - A faulty EPB on the Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 / RRS don't have to cost you a lot of money. I managed to fix it for free and with the to Zu3wl.
