- One of my subscribers reached out to me for help with his Range Rover Sport. Another TDV6 engine job, I suspect a snapped crank but I wont know for sure till it's in bits.
Part 1, removing the body from the chassis. - Авто та транспорт
The most therapeutic video, LR RRS|Disco 3&4 are my favorite.
Love the brake pipe tip. 👌
Really looking into buying one of these, video was really helpful 👌
Steve just started watching your videos because I have a faulty h brake on my 2006 RRS, really enjoyed them you are definatly old school and I wish you were my mechanic. Cheers Steve.
Cheers Barry
Barry, did you get yours sorted? If so, did you take the body off to replace the EPB module?
You dont need to take the body of for EPB. I Managed to mine on RRS 2010@chriss.3476
Cracking video being Mechanic and on Sierras in my younger days looks so tough now respect 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's definitely not as easy as it used to be and it's not getting any easier. Give me old skool fords any day!
@@pistonbroke Keep up the good work👍👌👌👌👌
Looking forward to this 💪🏼 I just had one come into the garage on Friday not as bad as this but bottom end knocking. Reckon we’ll be taking off the body too this week. Cheers for the videos
Another little handy trick with brake fluid to stop it leaking, just Jack up the car and push back brake caliper pistons (front 2 should do) the press brake pedal to the floor and lock it down with a dead leg tool or prybar , then you can disconnect the pipes and you will lose feck fluid ! Did this with my mate sport when removing body and with it parked on the lift for about a week there wasn’t one drip of fluid on the floor ......!
Great video! GREAT JOB! A pleasure to watch! I have exactly the same RRS model. Waiting for the next part. Cheers!
Great vidio mate well done
Just doing one tomorrow 🙈
Good luck!
Great video with lots of good detail. One item, you can actually leave the radiator support panel in place.
Yes I know but it's easier to get the body back on with that out of the way. Also there is a pipe that gets caught next to the radiator when lifting the body and with the rad support on its harder to get to.
25:27 hahaha a cheeky lil ripper.
Great video mate
I noticed that when editing but I don't remember letting one go. Maybe the dog or Sid shit themselves.
Top Work.
Another great video, Steve. Watching this one with interest!
No pressure on my part then
Nicely done
Thanks
Great stuff. I can't wait for the next videos. Well done 👍👍👍
I have never lifted the body off when removing a td6 engine, it saves a lot of extra work.....
I used to do the 2.7 without lifting the body. 3.0 is a bit tighter, probably possible though.
Great video
Nice work
Cheers.
Bom dia! Quais so as avarias mais frequentes no Ranger Rover Sport
Nice video can you tell me were is the auxiliary battery location on this exact model?
fascinating stuff. I had a 60 plate that threw a crank at 65k. It looks a nightmare to put everything back.
It's not a nice job at all.
Do you know where the transmission/front differential breather vent is located on a 2012 range Rover sport?
My front differential seal keeps leaking and I believe this could be the cause.
Thanks
How to remove the rust from my Range Rover ?
Great video your legend , I’m very passionate about Range Rover as I I own one a same one,very detailed video and knowledgeable, I’m looking fwd to watch part 2 . Mine has driver side turbo issue can you please advise or make a video if the turbo can be replaced without taking the body off ? It would be appreciated and there are not many videos of tdv6 3.0 turbo replacement as this is a common issue with these , I know few garages replace turbos without taking the body off but don’t know how as there is not much space to get access to the turbo . Thank you
Yes you can do a turbo with the body on, it's tight and fiddly but it is possible. I can only film what comes in so if I don't get a turbo to do then I can't film it. I can't really explain how to do it in the comment section either as it's quite involved.
Hi Steve,new to the channel,my Range Rover Sport was off the road for 9 weeks,it had a major over haul,I can see where your coming from,where the body has to come off to get to the engine etc etc.
It's a massive job to do the engine and not nice to do either.
Where u based mate , how much to change the rear ACE anti roll bar
nice work... lets start the same horror in my garage
Good luck!
New subscriber here a year late lol. I am glad that I am thinking of a RR Sport in 4.2 supercharged guise. I know they have their own issues, but those can be fixed with the lump in situ. None of this body off lark..... I hope lol Bloody good video of how to do it sir! Where in the UK are you based? When I finally get my RR or RR Sport would you be interested in a new customer?
Hi mate,
I have been following your videos absolutely brilliant work mate, love it.
I have bought a Discovery 4 from auction, non runner when bought with injectors removed and placed in a box and left in boot. I have managed to clean them and put it together, then found no fuel pressure so removed the tank and checked the pump it's working with direct power supply, apparently fuel pump relay gone so replaced that and low fuel pump started working and engine started but vehicle shaking (not excessively) which I thought injectors obviously, however there is smoke coming from left side (as you refer to) from around Injector 6 through, when acceleration the smoke is building up. Smoke seems to be very minor from right side as well. I have replaced one of the Injector and seems like another one or 2 is bad so hoping to replace those two. Tested all glow plugs all working perfectly fine. It's the smoke that worries me more than anything I wonder where it's from as can't reach to the side unless lift the body apart. No smoke from silencers at all. From your experience can you give some advice or tips please. Much appreciated.
Send me a video. idetectsw@gmail.com or post one on youtube and send me the link

Hi mate, managed to upload to UA-cam finally here is the link. Hope you will have a chance to get back to me. Talk to you soon 😊
@@pistonbroke hi there, hope you are well, did you get a chance to look at the video I've shared, hope to hear soon, Thanks 😊
Cor and I thought an EType engine was hard to get out!! Andrew Kirton
I'd rather do an e-type any day
Steve, how much time it takes from start to finish to get cabin separated from frame? 3 hours?
2 of us did it in about 4 hours
Holy moley...
Hi Steve managed to find a genuine Land Rover new crank for the disco 4 here’s a thing the big end bearings come in two colours dark and light in colour...... do the dark ones go in the rod or the cap can you help, I rang the crank supplier he said it didn’t matter then rang back to say silver one to cap, jeeez I’m not sure do you know cheers Derek
I can't remember. Look in one of the videos, I mentioned it.
Hi is it possible to lift the back of the body only to remove the rear anti roll bar with the ACE. Will I need to unbolt all the bolts both front and back.?
Yes it's possible. Take all the bolts out except the very front ones, leave them loose and it should come up enough.
Hi Steve have you ever bought parts i.e Conrods from apex or oil pumps cheers Derek
no I haven't
Ela brat iz baku
Im doing this soon but with out taken the body of as i have no ramp 😮😮😮
Just noticed how rough some of the seam sealing is inside the wheel arches.
Seam sealer is no worse than any other car. It's not there for looks, it's to keep water out.
Hi mate can i get your details i want to send my range rovers sport to you
I presume it would be similar if not the same as a d4 to do?
Yeah pretty much the same.
Can you replace your Rocker cover gasket on a 2012 3.0 TDV6 with out removing the Body ?
Yes you can.
I love and respect this video Thanks Mate keep up the hard work (*_*)
Cheers mate 👍
Well done, but I cant wrap my head around why they would make it so hard to do maintenance on this car... I'd never get one.
Great job buddy 👍 may i know where r u from?
Brilliant enjoy watching
this great , and incredible time done 40min included the ads . is this in real time ?
Noooooo!! Took about 4 hours
Seen this makes me worry. I have the same 3.0 Hdi v6 motor in my Citroen c5. What is the likelihood hood of the same happening with a Citroen/Peugeot given that the motors are significantly de-tuned and I would imagine under stressed in the French cars?
Great video and thanks for giving me something to worry about😀.
They are the same engine pretty much except the block is slightly different in the peugeots and citroens. Regardless of power output, the crankshafts on all these engines are weak. I've yet to strip this one to see what is wrong but snapped cranks are common.
Piston Broke that's unfortunate to hear that the odds are exactly the same, but hey I suppose its what one would call "car lottery". I've heard of low mileage 3.0's failing but also read of a few doing starship mileage without any problems.
@@jjbrown396 service it on time is about all you can do, at least your engine isn't lugging 3 ton of land rover about so it should be under less stress.
@@pistonbroke couldn't agree more on the servicing. It gets serviced well before the manufacturer's recommend and it only ever sees fully synthetic oil.
I personally think the tdv8's are better suited to hauling the bulk of these Range Rovers around.
@@jjbrown396 the tdv6 is a tourquey little engine and brilliant for towing but they've made the engine so short to fit transversely into the fwd cars that the webs on the crank are really thin. Have a look at the disco 4 tdv6 engine rebuild videos on this channel and you'll see the crank.
A mechanic has just quoted me 35 hours for removing my Range Rover Sport HSE engine and another 35 hours to replace it. Whilst I appreciate the complexity of such a job, 35 hours does sound like a lot.
In my honest opinion, that is a reasonable amount of time. There’s a lot to be removed and managed, even if this is a v6.
I have to remove body to get into replacing ace pipes
Yes but you can do it with the body on. Not a nice job.
One of the worst designs of a 4x4. Compact and too complicated. Thats why you do not see these in the oil/gasindustry worldwide. They stay in town for bringing kids to school. Great video, liked it to watch.
Does the Vogue has a frame chassis as well?
@@Kim_Anderzzon if you mean the full sized range rover then no it doesn't
@@pistonbroke Thank you so much for your reply. It's only the "Sport" version that got a frame chassis I guess then.
@@Kim_Anderzzon yes, the sport and disco 3 & 4 had the same chassis upto about 2015, newer shape sport changed to a monocoque the same as the range rover.
@@pistonbroke Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of time!
I've been told the SD 3.0 tdv6 is the better engine..is this true?
No. This one is an SDV6
Have a 2016 US model. 103k miles. All of a sudden I am hearing a tapping noise on the front passenger side, top area by the valves or injector. No codes or engine lights. One of your videos shows the tappets, guess it’s a common problem on even the newer models? No metal in oil, timing belt and rollers/tensioner look great for the mileage…
What did you do with the handbrake? As in where did you disconnect it? Thanks
It's an electric handbrake. The only thing to disconnect is the emergency release cable from the body.
@@pistonbroke thanks for reply. I was wondering as i am doing one today for the first time after watching this video yesterday evening and i didn know what way it would work. I must go looking for that emergency cable 👍🏻
It's just behind the transfer box just above the rear propshaft front joint Bayonet fit, just twist and pull.
@@pistonbroke incredible knowledge thanks a lot! Cracking video by the way it was invaluable to me today. Great job 👍🏻☺️
If you're unsure go to this video ua-cam.com/video/bo-V0m9vOA0/v-deo.html and skip to 8 minutes 24 seconds.
So how much does all this Labour cost with the new engine? I really want one but this just puts me off buying one looks an expensive job! Haha.
If you're worried about repair costs then don't buy one. If there's one thing these cars are good at, it's emptying your bank account. Expect to pay upto about 10 grand for an engine job.
I know for a running car complete if you want engine
Carnt u pull the engine out the front
Yeah but it's much more diffcult. Top bellhousing bolts are nigh on impossible to get to, quicker and easier to take the body off.
today my work this no lifting
Steve, did I speak to you today? My names Abdul and you quoted me a price over the phone this morning for my RR Sport 3.0 TDV6 which has the Barugzai bodykit on it
No, it wasn't me you spoke to.
@@pistonbroke then can you help? My engine was seized and something was broken. I was advised by many to get a reconditioned engine. Can you supply and fit?
RR Sport 2010 TDV6 3.0 Diesel
I'll fit an engine but I'm not supplying one. Email me idetectsw@gmail.com
I would like to get some information from you about Range Rover
Ask away then
I had to ask about the vacuum pipes of the Range Rover
We do not understand the setting of these pipes
Nor me that's why I kept them all together and took them off in one piece so they don't get mixed up
But they are separated from us so I said maybe you know you can help us
How many miles on the vehicle?
112,000
@@pistonbroke
Thank you!!
How common is engine failure on these 2016 td6 motors?
I'm not exactly sure about the later ones. I think they still suffered but not as bad as the earlier versions.
@@pistonbroke would you buy a 2016 td6 with 107,000 miles on it?
I wouldn't buy one at all but if you really have to punish yourself then make sure it has a full service history and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it like MOTs with no advisories and if there are advisories, have they been done? A sign of a neglected vehicle is one with the same advisories year after year till it eventually fails on it. Download the vehicle smart app and enter the registration to get the MOT history.
How many kilometers has the range driven?
This was a while ago, I think it was on 112,000 miles
Christ, it’s bad enough that the engine has a built in fault that causes the crank to snap, but to have to remove the body to do any major work on it? That’s just insane.
You can get the engine out with the body on but it makes life a lot easier to remove it.
@@pistonbroke Makes sense 👍
🤘🧔 🏁 🔧⚙️🔧🚙 🏁
I've heard of engine-out jobs, but not a body-off job. It looks a pig of a job - and expensive! 🤑
This is why the Japanese win all the times
Ok but why???
Why what?
Another poorly TDV6. Sort of puts you off owning one that's out of JLR factory warranty
I'd never own one.
These JLR products are just so crap and will never know why people buy them. Even with a new engine this will happen again.
A massive job removing the body and engine and with labour and parts in reality the car is scrap.
