@@y2ksierrathere's something quite special about the laziness and audacity of selling a car with that level of cowboy mechanics.

The secret with LR/RR is to buy new and never skimp on maintenance, and sell before warranty is up. The crucial turning point is the first and subsequent owners after the warranty runs out. As soon as it’s run on a limited budget and servicing starts to get missed and/or not done at a specialist, that’s the start of things going down hill. Buying this vehicle at any point in its history, doesn’t mean you can maintain it at the price level you bought it at, it always has to be maintained like a $100k vehicle, do that and it’ll run and run. Buy one of these from an loving original owner and cherish it also then you’ll do alright. Neglect it and it’ll bite your a***

$300k for the Landy conversion seams a lot , we have a company in the Uk called Overfinch that have been custom building Land Rovers since 1975 & were well known for putting American V8's in Range Rovers. As for you power drain , I had a P38 Range Rover that if left for a couple of days would flatten the battery , had new batteries, new ECU + relays but couldn't fix it. The dealer thought there must be a remote garage opener on the same wave length as my car in the area that keeps waking up the ECU , hence the power drain, have to have a trickle charger to get around the issue.

I have a 2010 Range Rover HSE. Not the sport, the full-fat RR. Sure, I’ve had 2 problems (alternator and parking brake), various minor electrical gremlins, and it has some expensive maintenance, but I love it.

Range Rovers until Gen 3 2006 with M57 BMW diesel they were reliable, but not with the Jaguar and Ford engines.

If the car started leaning to one side, that means someone likely reconnected the air lines incorrectly at the valve blocks. If the left and right lines are swapped, the ECU will raise the wrong side and then give an error stating "extended mode" because the side it thought it was raising wasn't going up and so it thinks you are hung up. If instead left or right is incorrectly swapped with the feed line from the compressor, then the air bags will drop to bump stops over time as it tries to balance out your left and right sides over time. This happens because it is releasing air back to the feed line which is at a low pressure. A lot of DIY mechanics screw up reconnecting the air lines when they work on these cars.

Same thing on mine I had several years ago. The suspension module will give an generic error (cannot remember the code) as well as the code of the actual error. However when you fix the actual fault (sticking crossover valve on mine) the generic fault would never clear and this would inhibit the suspension! I chased this for weeks and ended up replacing the suspenion control module and reprogramming the unit. This finally solved the issue.

Watching these sorts of videos is like watching someone who keeps going back to their toxic ex and acting surprised when it causes a lot of drama and costs them a lot of money. 🤣

Had the same w/my ‘11 RRSSC. Arrnot finally admitted after months, their struts had an issue with the resistor and they were all going back to engineering and basically recalled. I have emails to that effect.

Check the remote start if it has it. I had a very similar issue on my 2017 Hyundai. The battery kept draining. Took it to 3 different mechanics. Finally my local dealership was doing some recall work and noticed the remote start had been installed incorrectly. We had paid a dealership we bought the car from to install remote start. Once the remote start was removed. The battery drain problem was fixed.

I love my 1995 4.6 HSE Range Rover. I've completely rebuilt pretty much the whole thing, including the engine, and it's not too bad reliability wise now 👍👍👍

Sounds like Land Rover would make for an interesting EV conversion project given body and interior looks so clean.

This is funny, I have both of these, however a very different opinion... An 08 Range Rover that's been great, very few issues over 110k miles but its a tdv8 (3.6 Ford powerstroke not sold in US). I built my own Defender with an LS3 crate engine and it cost me a tenth of that one! It helps that I live in England where parts are cheap and people know how to fix them... For example I can replace all 4 air struts for £2000, I'm amazed someone could charge that PER CORNER!

If the pressure can’t escape from a dirty and clogged exhaust valve, it’ll build pressure where it’s not supposed to and completely throw off the module.

On my 2010, the error never presents itself on startup with a leak...there's about a 10 minute window even with a severe leak before the car realizes there's a leak and presents the red warning message. On startup, it would indicate a problem with the compressor itself, or one of the many sensors that's triggered during the self check. My 2010 had an error on startup once, and it was an accelerometer/g force sensor on the right front corner

@@97336cf yeah it can be a crapshoot with these. Sometimes the piston ring in the compressor wears out and it leaks air out of the cylinder, which means the motor works too hard and overheats, and to stop it from ruining itself it just does a fault and shuts off.

I have a Land Rover discovery LR3 with 243k miles and still going strong. At 240k I put a different transmission from a salvage yard that costed me 800 dollars. I’m about to replace all the air suspension shocks they cost about 150 usd on Amazon, I have already installed one and it rides just like the original.

What year is your LR3?

The land rover defender 90-130 are very reliable vehicles if they are looked after properly. if you get one that isn't looked after properly then like any car it will have problems.

If you actually want to get rid of it, I’ll take it off your hands. Timing chain isn’t a huge deal if you do your oil changes, the chains and tensioners only got torn up because the Land Rover recommended oil change interval for these cars was an absurd 16,000 miles

16k between oil changes?!? 😂😂😂😂 that’ll definitely keep you buying new ones every three years 😂😂😂

I know a guy that had the same problem. And his narrow it to the cigarette that was always on. He uses that for his phone, the device will not turn off even when the engine and keys off. The other thing is the vanity mirrors were always on. He disconnected the vanity mirrors. That solved his battery drain problems.

I had one. Sold it not long ago here in Australia. They sell for 40k-50k here. Only problem I had was the timing chain. But wasn’t really a problem. I got it fixed and back to normal she was. It was my favorite car.

That is good of you to not sell it Tyler.

I love the looks of the Land Rover. I wish they would get together with Toyota and build one with the reliability of Toyota. I’d buy one.

Two questions was the dealer you shot the defender 110 in Tulsa and also what would you take for the 2010 LR, I understand about the issues and I can do the timing chain service plus I’m good with the ride quality I hate air ride unless it’s on something that required a CDL to operate.

i have same RR Sport as u have, just pre-facelift, and i had no big issues... For me 4.2 works perfect

If you're going to drive under 5k per year these 2010-era Range Rover's are really great machines to have in your garage! If not on the road...

Hey Tyler, your Sport is actually based on a quite reliable LR3. Not even a Range Rover underneath. Also, the Gap iidtool would have told you all the problems it might have had. Better than Land Rover itself. Get the tool.... ❤

Exactly this. You can not work on a landrover without the iidtool.

Dump the electronics, stick a black tape over the Engine light, raise the springs and turn it into a true 4x4 adventure vehicle. I heard they have a bullet-proof 4-wheel drive system

I love my Bosch. Got it from menards for $50 on sale. Easy 1 handed switch operation. Pretty quiet and low on vibrations. Don't use it a lot had it since 2017. Still going strong.

Forgot he still owned this.

If i had this land Rover and i had this issue with it id drive to South main Auto and have Eric O fix it. Best diagnostic guy i have seen.

There is an issue with the BMW era models of constant battery drain with no fault. This is fixed by clipping the antenna for the key fob so that you can no longer unlock it from a distance of more than a few feet. The problem is caused by radio noise constantly waking the security system and the rest of the electrical systems in preparation for you opening the doors etc. the system will stay awake for at least three minutes or longer if it detects another signal. This can drain a battery over night if the battery is weak and within three days for a good battery.

I have one almost identical, but with the twin turbo diesel engine. It’s fantastic and I love mine! But they are hefty to maintain that’s for sure 😂

Even the gopro hates the bumpy ride 🤣

One of my life goals is to make a swap like that to a 110. People say the gearbox and transfer is OK but the engine has to go

I had the adaptive dynamics fault on my 2012 full size. Was a frayed wire to the computer. Soldered her up better than factory and no issues. Luckily I had my timing chains done at 100k miles under factory warranty. Kept up with my scheduled maintenance and have had no issues 🤞 at 180k miles

I am honestly amazed that Land Rover continues to sell any vehicles at all, given their now well documented reputation for 'death by 1000 repairs'.

There was a video on fleet insurance he has

Vehicle off amp draw test. You disconnect the pos battery terminal. You connect a multimeter and set to miliamps. Turn the car off and wait for all the computers to go to sleep. Amps should less than .40 amps. Lets say you have a 5 amp draw. Remove one fuse at a time and wait. When you find the circuit, you install the fuse and disconnect 1 computer at a time to isolate. So ask yourself which circuit won't be disconnected by pulling a fuse. It's the alternator. The alternator also spins when running, of course. So it can randomly have a short to ground internally. If the car sits and the battery goes dead. Don't jump the car and start it. Disconnect the alternator B+ cable. Then, connect the amp meter from the B+ cable to the alternator. Then, put a jump box on the battery. I bet you find your amp draw. I've had many alternators fail like that. I'm a 30 dealership technician.

I’m in the UK. Over here range rovers have a terrible reputation. Lovely to be in and drive (when they work) interior is a comfortable place to wait for recovery at least

Everyone knows that every Range Rover is a nightmare, not telling us anything we don’t know. I’ve only seen one KZreadr (Waldo) actually succeed with a used Rover 😂
