Dave, I worked at a Jag Rover dealer for about five years. The 3.0L and 5.0L Supercharged engines are notorious for having a failed head gasket. Not due to strictly failing because they are bad, but these motors when they have a leak and customers won't fix the issue or say, "ah.. I'llhave them look next oil change", they run them low on coolant and they FAIL. The heads warp easy too. They also burn holes in pistons. When removing the heads, really check out those pistons. Just cover your butt, look you usually do. Timing chains are usually in questions around 100,000 as well. This customer is approaching that mileage and if you have the heads off, that'd be the time to recommend it, in my opinion. - Zack

All cars have their issues too, don’t fool yourself. I’m on my 7th BMW. It’s the devil I know. I know that once it hits around 60k, I need to start watching for leaks both oil and coolant. All manufacturers who use these plastic ended hoses are susceptible to this. I do all my own work and save a ton over money. This motor is Land Rover/Jaguar’s own creation. It might be susceptible to head gasket issues, who knows. Typically a motor has to be beaten hard before a head gasket goes.

Just did this job on a 2016 Supercharged 5.0L a few months. Talk about a major pain the ass trying to get all of the connectors disconnected on the backside of the supercharger. Going back together is even more fun. I replaced most plastic with aluminum upgrades where I could and replaced the other plastic parts that I couldn’t get in aluminum. While I was in there I did the water pump and thermostat as well. The factory coolant crossover at the front of the engine has been updated with a new part number. It is now a single piece of plastic instead of two halves that are fused together. With the old part number, coolant would start leaking where the halves come together as a crack would form. In my experience, the break occurs at the O-ring flange that goes into the engine. I surmise that the plastic just can’t take the heat from the supercharger long term because the crossover pipe was breaking apart as I was taking it out as if it was Bakelite.

I'd rather have an old Lexus GX than any Range Rover. Back in 2004 , my dad had to have a Caddy AWD 6.0 LQ9 Escalade (GMT800 platform). I told him then to get a Lexus or Toyota. The front diff was replaced at 42K miles, then the dreaded AC blend doors where you take the dash out to get to it. But that's about the extent of repairs for the first 80K miles. The GMT800 platform is regarded as one of the best GM truck platforms. It's the LS based Vortec 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 engines that make the GMT800 shine. You do see the old GMT800 quite often with 300K - 400K miles. . I inherited the 2004 Caddy. It always starts and 5 years ago we did a 4K mile trip in it with no problems. Still, the build quality goes to the Lexus. My elderly mom has a 2010 model with nothing ever done to it , except for regular maintenance . My ultimate truck would be a OLD one with a small block Chevy with Turbo 400 tranny . No touch screens, minimal electronics, with 1960s tech cable activated AC controls, with an engine bay you can climb into with room to spare.

Great video! In the L405 5.0 SC engines there is that plastic y pipe and also a rear plastic crossover tube that connects between the heads by the firewall. That rear crossover tube also leaks the coolant often evaporates as it runs down the bell housing and onto the exhaust. Anytime that SC comes off the front plastic y pipe, rear crossover and the oil cooler gasket should be replaced as they will all fail at some point. There are aftermarket aluminum pipes for the front y hose parts as well. You can also pressure test the block before you put on the SC by capping off some of the open hoses and pumping compress air in, pulling the plugs and seeing if the coolant runs back into the cylinders but the eghaust gas test you recommended is definitive as well. Hope the head gaskets are fine for your customer!

3.0L supercharged jaguar same plastic cooling system junk, I replaced all the plastic under the supercharger and new water pump, two weeks later overheated and pissed out all the coolant again, at this point I recommend to the customer a junkyard engine or new. Customer traded it in to the dealership

POS Ford made crossover pipe. This is why you don't use German (Porsche) designed engines made by Ford and used by Tata (JLR). It's a perfect POS. Ironically the AJ engines themself are pretty bullet proof, but the cost cutting plastic parts will grenade them.

A couple of questions 1. could the Radiator cap be over pressuring the system? 2. If the system is pressuring so much that it breaks the plastic parts, why is this excessive pressure not be relieved, by the Radiator cap? (pressure building up to fast from blown head gasket??)
@jacobcannon1493

Sounds very reasonable. Cap should be rated under pressure to split plastic components open.

Maximum pressure, high temp from overheating. bad plastic, 70k+ mileage and it's a RR at the end of expected trouble free (?) life. A friend in a 100 year old family car business won't touch them!

This plastic piece is the coolant flow control valve on the L405's. This meant it is the first casualty in the pressurized line. If you want to own a land rover, you have to be a dang good mechanic with a 2 post lift!

I have a Jaguar with this motor. I find it funny how people shit in these things. Yes these plastic coolant hoses have issues. They sit under the supercharger and on the back of the motor behind the charger. Where most of the heat goes. They’re half and half pieces molded together and eventually break after so long of wear. There’s a kit for these motors less than 100$ where you replace the two different pipes with aluminum pipes. I did mine and it took me 3 hours maybe? Got a 17 Xe. Haven’t had a single issue since I bought it with 60,000 I’m at 90 now. I replaced these tubes as preventative maintenance. The tubes have been on for 20-22 thousand miles. Dave’s right in the fact that landrover Jaguar sucks at making plastic parts. They need to be upgraded

"Were gonna test that" wait a second, this isn't Project Farm ! Fixing modern cars cooling systems, so you can do a hydrocarbon test is all too common. A customer who says they ran it until it went reduced power, is rare honestly. I would handle it just the same way, Dave.

Plastic is killing the industry IMO! That being said an engine nor running right does not help matters. Range Rovers and Land Rovers are so nice, but they can sure be expensive to take care of. Personally I would not own one even though they are super nice. Too many head aches for my taste I will stick with Toyota or Lexus.
