Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 HSE 2014

Hi folks , looking at options to replace my daily driver L322 TD6. I've been looking at later L322 TDV8's however had a view and test drive today of a 2014 Sport HSE SDV6 which we rather liked.

Silver with grey interior and very nice condition circa 36k miles with full history.

Nice drive, only issue being occasional squeak from brakes which having googled seems to be a common issue! Maybe some copperslip would cure the noise!

Apart from that are there any major issues with the 2014 RR Sport? Crankshaft issues seem to ring a bell although I can only seem to find reference to this on the previous model.

Car is from a non LR main dealer so warranty would be an issue and I know these things can throw up big bills so just wanting to do homework before any further consideration....

Thanks guys much appreciated. I've always done quite well with my Range Rovers having had my L322 for 7 years, preceded by three P38's and a Classic 3.9, none of which were particularly troublesome.

I was speaking to. Mechanic the other day who had seen many of the Jag based TDV6's in the smaller 2.7 guise with broken cranks etc.

I will keep my eyes peeled for an approved used, my other consideration being an end of line L322 instead!

Thanks for the "heads up".

I've decided to stick with the L322 and consider one of the SD4 2.0 Sports in a year or so, depending on their reliability and any issues with that engine !!!
