New owner here, first rover. worked on many bbut never owned one just bought a 99 range rover 4.0 love it few issues

Just did a road trip found it burns 2qts of oil every 250miles causing sparkplugs to foul out

caar seems to run real rich and floods out after you shut it off after a long drive

I have replaced all the sparkplugs , coils, and wires . I use good oil 10w-40 . i have a K&N and a magnaflo exhaust no cats

im replacing o2 sensors they look orignal and she has 165k for fuel issue
possible maf swap
going to try different weight oil as well

ANY HELP would be apperciated as to any known issues or fixes

Welcome to the forum. Burning that much oil sounds like bad rings sadly... Not much you can do about that other than a rebuild. K&N if oiled too much will **** your MAF sensor, so be careful... No cats will give you a wonderful check engine light unless the ECU has been messed with turning off the rear O2 Sensors.
