    Should I keep

    Wow, so disappointed with the shop "Exclusive British European" in Campbell. They do a tone of Land Rovers everyday but maybe they are worried about liability as it is not factory; they only use factory parts for replacement. This is good to know. I might just buy another car but not sure what...

    Should I keep

    Thanks for all this. Yes forgot about the rear sway bar as that was done by the dealer under warranty and yes, I also changed out differential oil. Now you got my attention on this transmission oil pan. Sounds like there is an aftermarket one that has a drain plug? I assume you have to remove...

    Should I keep

    I own a 2013, Range Rover Sport; non supercharged. The car has 136,000 miles on it. I just paid $5,000 on a water pump, thermostat, cross over pipes and belts. Now I am hearing a knocking noise and the mechanic says it’s the timing chain which will be 24 hours @ $250 per hour and of course the...

    Water Pump #3 145,000 Mil

    Wow, so many water pumps! Yes, I was referring to the cross-over pipe. Sounds like the genuine Land Rover pump is the best of the worst. Thanks for sharing! Question which cross over pipe is better aluminum or plastic?

    Water Pump #3 145,000 Mil

    I have a Range Rover Sport 2013 V8 with no supercharger and losing water (1 qt every 2 months) and I hear a slight metallic sound under the hood in the mornings; not a valve sound. I have not done any investigating but since I am on water Pump number two and the last time I had a T or Y pipe or...

    Key fob not working? Try using a napkin :)

    Thanks for the tip on how to use the fob if battery is dead! This was my assumption as how can a plastic cover make a difference as it's nonconductive but it made a difference? Maybe I have something else wrong with the circuit board and the additional pressure helps the problem? All I know is...

    Key fob not working? Try using a napkin :)

    Thought I would share this as it might help someone else as these fobs are expensive or you might be in a desperate situation away from home. If your key fob stops working, open it up and make sure the plastic shroud that covers the chip is fully attach to the internal circuit board. If it is...

    Reversed jumpers on 2013 RR sport - now won't start

    Thank for this. Well, I used a battery from my BMW and it actually started, yea!! So, if this unfortunate happens to anyone else here is what happen after I reversed the cables: Range Rover was running and even after connecting the cables incorrectly nothing happened but after 20 seconds...

    Reversed jumpers on 2013 RR sport - now won't start

    Well how stupid can you be? I was using my 2013 Range Rover sport to jump another car and did the unthinkable and swapped the cables. I did not realize this at first and the Land Rover was running when connected, after 20 second the Land Rover shut off. I then saw the cables were reversed and...

    Bomb Ticking under Driver Seat

    Have not done that yet. I guess, I was hopping it was a tell tail sign of a common problem.

    Bomb Ticking under Driver Seat

    I started my 2013 Range Rover Sport and it sounded like a bomb ticking under my seat but went away after a minute. Now today (second day) it did not happen at the beginning but after 10 minutes after starting the car but went away agin after about one minute? Does anyone know what this is and...
