Most of it is rubbish. A 2.2 TD is likley, the petrol engines will be volvo and as ever they will be modified versions of, in the way that LR modified Jag engines for D3 and RRS |

4cyl Ford 2.2 TDCi tuned down to approx. 140PS. 5cyl 2.4 'Volvo' TD approx. 170PS. the unit used to dump 163PS, but was uprated to 18xPS, doubt LR would leave it in the 180's as its to close to the Disco3 TdV6, I oudl though they would peg it down 10PS to leave some differentiation between the engines.

You seem to know a bit about this then! Do you think they will yet again pick an under powered diesel? The TDV6 would have been nice but unlikley. Talk on other forums have been of an engine that puts out 168 bhp, which presumably would go like stink. |

Ah, now a 168PS diesel would fit in well with the Volvo 2.4 5cyl unit as this comes in two guises - 163PS and 185PS. LR normally knock 10PS off, so the 185PS version de-tuned slightly looks like a trop spec model. Depending on how much fatr the Freelander gains, but I would expect it to be "nippy"

GenRad ADS LTd is/was an Amercian company, ADS is Advanced Diagnostic Solutions. The write the software and provide hardware to programme all the Jaguars when they're made in the factory. Also GenRad produce the workshop diagnostics. So if your Jag is fault it, they use GenRad kit to diagnose it. Normally if GenRad equipment doesn;t find a fual tits because the Technician has not been given enough time with the tool to find it. Usually with warranty work they allow so much time to diagnose. If its not found its returned as 'fault not found'. Basically we had a wiring diagram for every variant of every Jaguar. then systematically selected each component, connector and wire in turn and worked out what could go wrong with it, then devisied a strategy for seeing how you woudl be able to diagnose it to that failure mechanism. We then wrote the software to use voltage, current, short/open circuit, resistance, etc. to calculae every single failure.

Aren't new LRs such as D3, RRS on the same system as Jags (WDS) or have I misunderstood? |

I don't know who they use now. Its always been testbook. but Genrad stuff is bloody good and seeing as Jag and Ford use it, I woudl imagine it will feed into LR more. Esp. if they are going to beat their quality gremlins

My only thought on the D5 is that at 185PS itsnot far off the TdV6, so Iwould expect LR to detune it slightly. a. to avoid too much of a clash with the 2.7V6. and b. LR seem to detune every diesel they have
