harrycatcat1 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 As I have been browsing through different land rover adverts I have noticed that the sd4 engine is being used in the Discovery and the Range Rover Sport. Has anyone got one in the Discovery or RR sport? Is it powerful enough? Am I right in saying that this engine has been around since the Freelander? Just as as side issue the RR sport with the 2.0ltr sd4 engine has spring suspension and not air, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 The SD4 was used from the Freelander 2 in the early Discovery Sport. It has plenty of grunt and providing it has hadregular oil changes it very reliable. They have now moved onto the 2 litre engine . I had a Freelander 2 for 11 year's and was no trouble at all in fact very reliable, the SD4 from memory was 190 bp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the td4 version upgraded to 228 bhp, it is still good on diesel and much smoother than standard. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycatcat1 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Sounds like a better engine for reliability than the 3.0 litre and 4.4 diesel then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I believe the SD4 in the car you’re looking at is the 240hp twin turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
