Are there any issues with the LR3 5.0 V8?
Some 5.0 have had timing chain guide issues. It’s not catastrophic but not cheap to fix. Water pumps are another issue. I haven’t heard of any other weak spots on the 5.0. Check out RSW solutions on YouTube. He has a two part series on the 5.0 timing chain issue. jwest likes this. I have a 07′ LR3 HSE with the 4.4L V8 and it has been very reliable.
Which is more reliable a LR3 or LR4?
Discussion in ‘ LR3 ‘ started by wyrover, Oct 4, 2017 . I have a 07’ LR3 HSE with the 4.4L V8 and it has been very reliable. How does the 5.0L V8 compare to it in terms of reliability? Possible going to go look at a 2011 LR4 but not sure if that engine is going to be as reliable as the 4.4L V8. Thoughts?

Which is better a LR4 or a V8?
I’ve owned a V8 LR4 from 2010 until a couple of months ago when I got a new 2016 LR4 with the scv6. From my experience, the v6 is a big step backwards from LR. Real life MPG gain is about 0.8 – 1.2mpg better but the driving experience is vastly different. The V8, with the 6speed transmission, is as you would expect is powerful and instant.
Is the 2011 Land Rover LR4 5.0 reliable?
170K miles on 2011 LR4 with 5.0 – can’t tell you how smooth, powerful and reliable it has been. Zero problems with the motor, I do have the clicky or tap-tap sound on cold start up n the front of the motor with the chain guides but other than that very, very impressed with the 5.0
