I have now 300000km on my 14 years old Td4 90 and never had any issues. And it always had to work hard in the mountains of Austria. ( full power, full speed)

300kkm on heavy 130 2.2 bas 170 tune regular services and only engine fault has been one turbo replacement at 220k. However clutch plate springs and damper have failed 7 times, surprised this weak link didn’t make the puma hate list.

And then there are people who have close to 400,000 km on the engine. And please stop saying the M57 engine is rock solid. It has its fair share of problems. I had two X5s. One had fuel injector problems at 42K, oil breather problems. And my cars had all their service done at BMW on time or before, But as all engines you have to look after them. Biggest problem buying a M57 engine is getting one with a good history. Otherwise you open yourself to a world of pain

m57's have been around longer and i guarantee have had less catastrophic failures

Had a Puma 2.4 125000 miles All the problems mentioned on this Video…… EGR valves kills this engines. The air box intake is way to small the turbo doesn’t get enough air Injectors are bad and Glow plugs will get stuck in the head If you want to keep the original engine you need to Get a bigger intercooler Get a cool air intake Blank EGR Map the engine with someone decent Oil service every 5000 Change the fuel filter regularly Pray the injectors work………. Not even mention the noise but that doesn’t bother me Now if I had the funds not M57. LS3 is the way to go in my opinion Great video as usual.

💯 the low saps oil is a killer on the Puma, 5,000 miles is a must, get the best oil you can afford, good diesel with a splash of millers won’t hurt. Once you’ve mapped the EGR out remove, the inter cooler and flush it out, upgrade all the inlet hoses with silicone ones. When you change the fuel filter I always fill with additive, give it a helping hand in cleaning the system. Oh and run it on red diesel 😂

Yup. My 2011 2.4 Puma killed an engine at about 75k. I would have loved to put something different in but I live in Italy and the law makes that sort of thing very difficult, plus there are no specialists like yourselves doing these swaps. So in goes a brand new stripped engine and head sent from the UK. I still live in fear of it happening again 😢

​@@wearemahkerwell well, what timing, I've just killed another turbo. Or actuator, not sure yet. Last one I fitted about 18 months ago, OEM Garrett. Don't suppose you can suggest a tougher aftermarket option??

And that's why I sold my Puma for a Landcruiser... Didn't have such serious breakdowns as discussed, but numerous minor things. Lost confidence in it. That was my last Land Rover, after 20-odd years, and 7 or 8 LR vehicles.

What’s the going rate for the conversion to an old 200k m57 engined cleaned and dressed up? £14k plus??

Thanks, great video. Does the 2.4 engine have the same problems?

I’ve got a 2.4 tdci in my transit & I’ve had none of these problems. It had done 240k. Because a heater plug snapped off & it was bit high on emissions I took it out & fitted a replacement I had ready prepared. The new injectors were not coded & it started ( but had to do a learn process on the Autel). I’m looking forward to another 240k. The only problem with the original engine the 6mm x 100mm(🙄)injector bolt came loose once & injectors x2 bouncing up & down.

Only like the n47 engine the timing chains are bad surely it’s down to maintence and not everybody’s got 30k to convert it to bmw engine

I Had a Td5 (90 and Did Not Like that Engine As Much as i Had Wanted,Oil in the Wires to ECU and it Was Thirsty. The Only Engines That Were Any Good Were 200&300 tdi They Were Great Engines, All the Old ones Were Rubbish,V8 The Best of the Petrol if You Could afford to Run it. Its Not Just Engines That Landrover are Useless at Making The Rest of There Work is Shoddy as Well. They Sold the Defender for 50 Years With No Locking Diffs !!!!Yet The Merc G Waggon Had then Straight away,Landrover Think They Know Everything about 4x4s and There Wrong They Dont and There Reliability is Shocking,But People Keep Paying Stupid Money For the Latest Thing No Matter As Most of them Have No Clue.

I will believe this video 100% because they are not selling anything in it..... oh wait.
