Insane service bill after my Range Rover broke for 6 weeks!

So after 6 weeks in the service center at Land Rover, I finally get my Range Rover back! It ended up costing me $11,556!!! Insane, when I went in to get an oil change a few other small things looked at! However, they gave me a 2020 Velar to drive in the meantime and also it is also running good as new now!
Check out my review in the video of the Velar and hear further details about what happened to my Range Rover!
Recap is, parts are hard to find, and if you buy a used Range Rover, get a warranty!

What made you think the rear differential needed work? My 2018 RR v8 SC is in the shop now for a noise in the rear end I've been hearing. They say they don't hear anything but I'm scared to pick it up because my bumper to bumper is about to expire. I love my car but your issue has made me nervous.

I’ve had 2 RRS, wife has had 2 Jag XE’s (aj126) and I currently have a 2015 RRS L494 Aj133 and all I can say is you got hosed. I’m tired of hearing reliability issues as these are quite robust if you know anything about autos. Problem is there are too many that buy these and know nothing about maintenance. Factory schedule is a joke. Front and rear diff, transfer case, transmission filter/fluid every 30k miles. You’re running 500 HP motor, it’s not a Camry. There is a ton of heat so a ton of friction. Change your oil often (every 5k not 15k interval which is retarded). Preventive…front and rear coolant crossover pipes need changing, supercharger coupler also. This is for both the gas V6 and V8. I put in aluminum aftermarket pipes as plastic coolant pipes are a joke. Supercharger coupler needs replacing with aftermarket solid piece. A rattling supercharger coupler is commonly diagnosed as timing chain and I guarantee the stealership raped you on this. For what you payed you could have purchased and had installed a new Tapa upgraded motor. The Velocity AP tune for a couple of grand DIY will put you above 600hp and over 450 HP in the V6 and is a nice upgrade. The V8 beats my Carrera S with the AP tune. Get some tools, an obd2 scanner, learn how to wrench and you won’t ever see a repair bill this high. This is one of the last opportunities to own a fantastic V8 before they are phased out. Don’t let this chump scare you with a ridiculous bill.
