As far as I can understand I believe the 3.0 D5's have the same engine but possibly 1 turbo so snapped cranks will probably continue unless they have improved them somewhat or just using 2.0 versions.D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo
D3 HSE MY06 missing her still…

Many Thks , as I did wonder what engine they used and indeed like u say if they’ve been improved
Would be rather embarrassing for JLR if these new D5s also suffered from the crank issues

I would have thought with the massive mileage they do they must see all kinds of issues from every manufacturer they use.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
