Common Problems: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electronic Parking Brake Failure(Moderate)
The internal gears of the EPB module strip, causing it to jam or screech.
- Air Suspension Compressor and Bag Failures(Serious)
The air suspension system suffers from perished air bags, failing compressors, and leaking valves. The compressor overworks when bags leak and eventually fails.
- 2.7 TDV6 Timing Chain and Oil Pump Failure(Serious)
The timing belt tensioner bolts to the oil pump casing on pre-2007 models. The casing cracks, causing belt slip and catastrophic engine damage. Spun crankshaft bearings are also common from oil starvation.
- EGR Valve Clogging and DPF Blockage(Moderate)
EGR valves clog with soot causing limp mode, power loss and black smoke. The DPF blocks if the vehicle is mainly driven on short urban trips without motorway regeneration runs.
