Hello forum! Thought I’d introduce myself, I’m shane live in sunny Suffolk. Been a long time Land Rover owner and purchased a 2002 vogue last week! Love the car but has some quirks to work through! Spent 13 years as a mechanic and mot tester then moved over to agriculture and have a feeling I’ll be back under the cars now!

Hi Shane. Nice looking motor and welcome to the best collection of enthusiasts and knowledge you’ll find anywhere. I’ve had a couple of l322’s with similar mileage to yours and as long as they’re looked after it doesn’t seem to bother them. The Td6 is pretty much a bullet proof engine, just make sure the transmission oil has been changed recently and if not do it ASAP as that was the weak point on the TD6. Other than that I just found the usual things like brakes and suspension needed attention, but if you’ve been a mechanic it shouldn’t turn out too costly. Enjoy

Thank you! Seems ok so far, gearbox oil is on order as no history on that unfortunately but that was reflected in the price I paid. There is a few other bits I’m working through at the minute, needs a wheel bearing a window switch and a few other bits. Hopefully this new relationship won’t be to painful

Blank off the EGR would be my first job

Already on order! Felt a little sluggish, had codes for egr and boost control solenoid but I found a couple of vacuum pipes off and split under the bonnet but the egr will be going regardless
