I run “Range Rover Ireland” group but this was a mix of vehicles from 3 different groups (Range Rover Ireland, LROI and also west cork Land Rover run). I’ll be scouting trails this weekend for another run in Connemara end of September and will post details on those 3 fb group pages.
Tbh with you Noel I don’t know enough about them to give you a proper answer to that question. I do all my own work on my P38 and selectively on other peoples land rovers for them from time to time so I wouldn’t know much about west coast autos. What are you looking to get done on yours?
@@tompage im going to to do a refresh on mine new turbos new timing chains belts pulleys and more over the next 2 years im going to go around uk and ireland so i want to bullet proof her
Having owned a 2008 L322 for 5yrs with the same engine the weak spots are the plastic manifolds and the turbos. I never had issues with my turbos as I serviced it religiously. With the 3.6 TDV8 a lot of owners don’t realise that there are 2 separate oil drain plugs and if you don’t drain both when you change the oil the turbos will suffer as a result of it. If you’re gonna change all that you’d be better off pulling the engine out, it would be quicker and easier in the long run as the turbos are not fun to get out with the engine in. I’d pay attention to the condition of your manifolds and also change the thermostat housing which lives between the manifolds. Make sure to use all new copper washers when pulling the injectors also. All in all the 3.6 is a great engine in my experience
That looks like a bit of craic liked to

looks great… pity you didn’t get the opportunity for a bit of off roading..that might separate the men from the boys …
@tommulcahy6075 we actually did on day 2 but there were only 3 of us left at that stage, took them up through mountains and through rivers etc.
Mate what do you think of west coast auto's in galway as landrover specialists
