2008 Land Rover LR2 Service and Repair Manual
Land Rover built every 2008 LR2 around one engine, the 3.2L L6 (VIN N), across all four trims, so this factory service and repair manual carries the exact specifications and procedures Land Rover published for this vehicle rather than a generic SUV reference.
Engines

Known issues on the 2008 LR2. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the sunroof assembly: the guide rail's over-molded bracket can crack under normal operation, and detached plastic fragments can obstruct the sunroof, so cycling it afterward with added force can fully detach the glass panel from the vehicle and increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 85 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From a binding sunroof to routine service on the 3.2L L6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 LR2.
