You missed the ultimate killer. The TIMING CHAIN! If you are considering buying the L322 you must ask if the timing chain guides were replaced AND if they were replaced before, or after failure. If not, factor in 3 to 5k to fix. More if you want to replace more wear and tear items while they are in there. Which is recommended.

My 2007 RRS SC which now has 211000 miles had each and every one of these problems mentioned. I fixed them all plus tires at a tune of over 12 grand… got to love em!!

Feel like I learnt so much for a 6 minute video... So informative. Thank you!

Biggest problem is the timing chain issue. Make sure to check the maintenance records for length between oil changes. If the previous owner followed Land Rover guidelines and changed oil every 15,000 miles….avoid this car because if it hasn’t been replaced it will need it soon. This length between oil changes allows the oil to carbon up and lose its ability to lubricate. Not keeping the chain lubricated properly will cause excessive wear. I recommend changing your oil every 5,000 miles.

Great video , one of the best I’ve watched , very informative and learnt a lot

Great vid! Thanks for the tips

Happy Ramadan brother thanks for the heads up on Rangie problems. May peace be upon you.

Very helpful for any potential buyer.

excellent info my bro

Great video. The rear brake pipes also tend to corrode heavily in the centre pipe The L320 model used lead wiring for the ride height sensors. Water causes the wiring to rust = suspension issues The 2006-2009 models also have a lot of brake master cylinder issues All range rovers work great when daily driven. If you plan on buying one for weekends only then forget it, just bite the bullet and drive the car regular. I know the MPG isnt great but if you leave them sitting around thats when majority of issues occur

Great video! Thanks! 🙏

Great info. Thank you for the video!

Great video like how he gives you a rough price for every job

Super Vid - any more details on possible reasons for oil leaks? appreciate

This is awesome mehn✅

Great video

Great video thanks for sharing! I’m looking to purchase a 2006 Land Rover Sport SC. With 78000KM was wondering anything else to look for on the SuperCharged version?

just found this channel,Thanks for the heads up

Really helpful sir, thank you so much. That honesty from a dealer almost makes me trust the profession a little. I would look at your cars though with more trust. I'm researching like mad now because I'm buying my first one next year (saving now) lol, I can't wait. 👍

Good video bro

Wooow I didn’t know any of these before 👏👏👏

About to purchase my first RRS this month, thanks for this great video! I am sure it will come in handy when I do my test drives this weekend. At the end of the video, you mentioned making sure the GARAGE is done and the cam belts. What is the GARAGE? Or did I misunderstand what you were saying?

Merci, j'ai l'intention d'acheter un Range Rover de 2007 et vos conseils sont trés interessants, dommage que votre garage ne soit pas à Majorque... Bonne suite

I love my Range Rover Sport HSE 👌

Iv just got an 07 HSE 2.7 Wonder when I drive off I see the Rev needle jump up and down abit then it settles down. If I floor it I get smoke out the back then goes It’s been sitting for a few months I’m doing a service. The gearbox feels like it changes 5 times then smooth should I do the oil change too. Many thanks for any advice

very helpful boss

great video bro

Hi thanks for the video. I've 2 questions. When I drive over 120 km I get a speed alert message showing the 120 km traffic sign in the dashboard and a orange triangle. I can't find the setting to delete this. 2 when I drive over 140 km the temperature is heating up of the engine and it runs towards 90 degrees. When slowing down it goes back to the level it should go. Do you happen to know what this might be? Will go to the garage in the next days but thought I would ask

Are oil leaks problem for 3.6 as well or just that 2.7 ? Also the rocker covers? They seem to be a money pits,but i love them,found one 2008 RR Sport with 170k KM on the clock ,seems prestine but im scared to buy it lol ...

This is my dream car I really do like them it’s my dream car definitely I hope I will have luck with a Range Rover.

Just Got a 2006 Range Rover Sport HSE for ¼ of bluebook value [ current BB value is 10 to 15 thousand USD it is immaculate inside and out so it is on the higher end of that ) price was low because of oil leaking from the valve cover gaskets and it is smoking from the driver side exhaust ( yes, only the driver side ) [ likely failed valve guide seals due to being parked on a hill leaning towards the passenger side for 6 months ] I got it so cheap because the repair shop gave the previous owner an estimate of over $2,000 USD just to repair the oil leaks and another $500 USD for an ignition lock cylinder ( which is perfectly functional , this particular issue is well known to most RR techs it's a failed steering lock system not allowing the key to turn more than ½ way to position 1. Which I Fixed in under 15 minutes with a spray of ' PB Blaster! ' penetrating oil into the solenoid on the steering column ) So, That is the background, Now Here's the thing that I wanted to share, the air suspension is not functional, the compressor is functioning properly and neither the air shocks nor the lines are leaking.... the problem is with the ' electronic air ride control valve assembly ' it doesn't respond to the control signal that is sent from the control module..... ( verified signal at the plug with my multimeter ) can anyone tell me where a place to get a new valve that isn't over $400 ? I really don't have the funds to pay that much for it and I don't want to keep using the manual lift control that I have built to make it drivable...

Thanks

What could be the reason for oil in radiator. The car isn't heating at 45c temp outside with continous AC. Please give your expert opinion for this RRS SC

The no1 issue is the air suspension. Other than that, the engine is great as long as you do maintenance.

Hi! At what suspension settings can this car be lifted on a workshop lift?

What model is the white range rover on the thumb nail, the front bumper looks different than most rrs

Can you put an oam suspension parts from another car brand like Nissan patrol or Toyota Land Cruiser or VW or any suv with cheap parts Just to get rid of the air suspension problem ?!

No mention on each individual engine model. The TDV8, the 3.0, the 2.7. That's just the Diesels. Which engine were you discussing in the video? ( I know ) but most wont.

Hey man your video was very helpful. I'm thinking of buying a 2006 range rover sport which has a faulty gear. The miles on the engine is less but the gear is gone. The air suspension is compromised aswell I think. I would really appreciate your help with this purchase and a rough idea on the cost I'm looking into? And any other problems I could expect with a range rover sport 4.2 supercharged ? I hear alot from people, not to buy one as it dies on you anytime randomly.

So easy to change anti bar links and sway bar bushings to. Range rovers are easy to work on.

Excellent, going to look at a 2012 RRS next week. 90k on the clock with full LR service history so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello I am very surprised that you do not mention the timing belt issue on the 5.0 engine... it is by far the biggest problem you may encounter and it is the most expensive to fix ! All 5.0 are going to face this problem because of tensioner / guide that are very poor quality. Also on diesel 2.7 v6 'ex ford psa) engine you still face the "lottery" of the manifold breaks !

Do you know if every rangerover 2010 to 2013 will eventually have the timing chain issue?

Bro can you help me to get a 2010 Range Rover?

Bro i have a range rover sport 2.7 hse tdv6 but i have a problem the car start and shift good but has no power drives max 50km/h and no fault codes egr is already off withe plates ???????

i lock my car in acess hight but when i reach speed over 45kmph it goes back to normal height. do you know why

I've worked on RRS and seeing oil leaks in a few minutes is not possible. The undershield just gets in your way and catches all the oil up? It may look clean, but it's not. Don't you know the saying : "If you own a Land Rover and there's no oil on the ground, then it means you have no more oil in" ;)

What about the petrol version? Less probs?

Cam BELTS are not a problem...there are none. There are however timing chains and plastic guides. The guides fail causing rattle on cold startup and potentially timing issues if the chain slackens sufficiently and the chain jumps a cam phaser tooth. This affected certain years (2009-2012 I believe)...essentially the Jaguar AJ133 engine until the DA VIN prefix. The repair is costly. This was largely addressed by the 2014 model year in the L494.

MashAllah good content

Turbos blew my engine 3.6 twin turbo Beautiful but broke my heart .

Cam belt?

Not being Gay buy I love you man HUGE THANKS

I can see on the video the when you are lifting it on the 1 your sat in the front is hardly lifting at all is that what you were talking about

hi my friend , lr320 dashboard lights are blinking. what do you think is the problem ?

I thought these had timing chains not a belt?

just avoid a RRS at all cost ! lol

I have a 2008 one , biggest ball of scrap iv ever had ,

IF ANYONE WANTS TO BUY A RANGE ROVER BUY YOUR CAR WARRANTY ,& CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT COVERS EVERTHING.😃👌💯HAPPY 🚗

Rocket cover on the manifold ??? Maybe get your mechanic to explain it

Its got more problems then a audi s8 v10

Not mentioned the biggest fault that of course being the crank shaft snapping.... rubbish cars

They got more problems
