Engine Options 2007:
Typically featured the 4.4L BMW M62 V8 or the 4.2L Ford AJV8, and later the 3.6L TDV8 diesel. Specific engine details would be detailed within the manual.
Horsepower Torque Range:
Varies by engine. Expect approximately 280-300 hp for V8 petrol and around 313 hp for the TDV8. Torque figures would be significantly higher for diesel.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel injection, likely multi-point or direct injection depending on engine variant.
Engine Oil Type:

Coolant Type:
Likely a long-life, OAT-based coolant specific to Land Rover/BMW formulations.
Transmission Type:
Primarily a 6-speed automatic transmission (e.g., ZF 6HP26) for petrol models. Diesel models may have different specifications.
Manual Transmission:
While not common for the L322, the manual transaxle section in the manual would cover any variants offered globally.
Drivetrain:
Full-time 4WD with a locking center differential and often a 2-speed transfer case.
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Specific ATF (e.g., ZF Lifeguardfluid 6) will be specified in the manual, critical for transmission longevity.

Curb Weight:
Typically around 2,400 - 2,600 kg (5,291 - 5,732 lbs) depending on engine and configuration.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Refer to vehicle's VIN plate or manual; typically around 3,200 kg (7,055 lbs).
Crash Test Results:
While Euro NCAP or NHTSA ratings for this specific year might be available, the manual will detail the passive safety systems and their operation.

Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, but the manual will confirm the exact recommendation based on driving conditions.
Transmission Fluid Service:
Often specified as 'lifetime' by manufacturers, but recommended for periodic change (e.g., 60,000-100,000 miles) for longevity, especially for the ZF automatic.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Intervals vary by engine, but typically around 60,000-100,000 miles.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) is common, but the manual will specify the exact type and grade.
Power Steering Fluid:
