I love working on my car and save lot of money just like this guy. It's funny that most of car repairs are very simple you can find everything on Internet how to do it and as you can see in this video can get done on car park with basic tools. But garage's will tell you that it's a big job and you need special tools 😆 they have all those special tools just to make it even easier for them 😉 get job done in 15 minutes or less and charge 3 hours or more. That's the reality

@LandRoverTech what do you think about range rover sport L494 3.0 diesel 306bhp? Are the engines really that bad as I read on Internet? I'm thinking of buying one but if it has all those engine problems common there's no point. I need some advice from someone like you that know the land rover well. Thanks

Nice guide but releasing the air line to the spring like you did can damage the valve blocks. It’s recommended to use the cars computer to release the air pressure or you can slowly let out the air by loosening a nut on the valve block for the front and back.

@et-on8el Жыл бұрын

Great video as always. One thing I’d call out is when using impact tool to loose high torque bolts/nuts, always use the impact on the nut side. Don’t make mistake like mine broken the bolt head using the power tool.

Author, as you seen to know a lot can you share the expected labor on a front right suspension dropping. Will I need a condenser or strut alone? I am in California. What’s the labor, parts for strut appears to be 560. Is a RR tool needed to reset and recalibrate? My car always reads the down arrow on the suspension in orange. I feel I should be able to raise it. I must be vague as I am new to rover world. Rear right is also falling. Means I need replacement as well? It has 77K miles on it.

@Alexfixty Жыл бұрын

I would recommend starting with a diagnosis to see the codes. Then inspect air lines and connection with soapy water 🤙 I didn’t have to reset anything after replacing that struts. If you didn’t mess up anything you don’t have to calibrate it.

Mine Did same thing. Strut is leaking. Buy both new from CAR ID, for $900 to your door. I paid 475 for labor but you can do it as easy also. Will not put code until completely junked. You might damage compressor if left unchecked due to it running extra. Arnott is the brand I used, Range is like brand new now
