The 5.0, 5.0SC and the 3.0SC engines ruined Jaguar/Land Rover, junk engines with terrible cooling system design, not to mention oil leaks like hell. I work on Jaguars at my auto shop. I’ve read they are going electric and mostly going to sell Land Rover Discovery as it is their top seller. Volvo is a solid vehicle, has been for years, I still enjoy my 04 Volvo S60.
A friend of mine owns a machine shop ----- overhauled just about every engine made --- drives a Volvo.
I'm saddened. I had a 2001 Jag XK8 and a 2009 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Wonderful vehicles. The Jag was great with the top down on a country road in summertime. With 510 hp on tap, the RR Sport was a tank handling like a sports car. Unavoidable circumstances forced me to replace them and we got a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport and a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace, both very satisfactory. I had a long ago Volvo XC 70 and it was a very solid car. I don't sneer at Volvo owners (a bad conservative prejudice against assumed liberal owners). There is a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, but with an electricity availability of 2-3 hours/day, I don't see how EVs would make the remotest sense in that market.
You said the Discovery was their top seller. Are you sure you didn't mean the Defender (which seems to be very popular)? You can ford streams with those things, equipped with snorkels. I don't see how that could ever be practical as an EV. African terrain may not be the worst in the world, but it is certainly unforgiving.
Yeah Defender, my bad lol. Got to typing fast. What engines in your Jag and LR? 2.0D Ingenium should be avoided as well, timing chain issues. The previous engines I listed don’t like being ran hot. It can ruin them. There’s a plastic crossover on the rear of the engine, the coolant temp sensor is in it, when the coolant gets to low, it can’t read the correct temp of the engine as it can’t read air, engine runs hot and you might not realize it, keep an eye on coolant levels.
I can't say at the moment. You think it would be clear from the driver's manuals, but it isn't. There are descriptors for vehicle options, but it is not obvious which vehicle you are driving. They seem to have adequate power for modest displacement so I suspect they are turbocharged. These days it's not possible to see much under the hood. I tend to be hypersensitive to off-nominal notices and will get my vehicle into the dealership right quickly. The guys there seem to be on the spot. I'm a big believer in maintenance. My Dad pretty much drilled into me that the only difference between men and beasts is that men maintain their machines.
