I have had this model for about 3 years now. The first thing I did was to have the engine remapped. The power increased to about 340 bhp. Now a much smoother drive, better performance and greater economy, I average about 34 mpg. The vehicle has now done 130,000 miles and has been regularly maintained by LR specialists. Had a couple of warning light from time to time and a split inlet manifold. Apart from that it has been trouble free..... great car !

Great presentation. I love Range Rovers as well. I have a 2005 L332 supercharged. Absolutely adore it. However, if I ever decide to get a newer car I'd consider the Range Rover Sport pre-2013.

Great Cars!

Hey, nice review. I'm surprised you get around 30 MPG.. I get 25.4 MPG max. It's been 4 years since i imported my sdv6 since here in Nairobi kenya. And I love it!. Most of the issues I've had are with the door locks, And now the auto tailgate is acting up, but hoping it will be sorted. It's lovely car.. I'm not selling anytime.

What’s your thoughts on the crank failures on these engines mate? I’ve personally known someone who had this happen to them and it does seem quite common. The car also had a full LR service history

@condorvehiclesalesltd

Жыл бұрын

I’m touching a piece of timber as I type this but I’ve not had one fail on me just as yet and I’ve also heard people with full LR history have the failure too. From what I can gather it’s a bit of a lottery but more so with the SDV6 engines. The TDV6 isn’t putting so much torque and power through the crank so it definitely seems to be the one with less issues! My SDV6 is now on 164k miles with regular servicing and runs a dream!

Apart from a theoretical crank shaft design/machine issue, some other slow developing issues have to be present as well. It has been proven that the backpressure introduced by a clogged transmission fluid increases the failure chances in a dramatic way. It's safe to assume that changing the fluids on a regular basis almost eliminates the chances of a catastrophic engine failures. Big red flag should be the cold start rattling.

@@pistonslapuk I'm not buying just the low graphite content or else we would see crank shaft snapping just out of the production line. I strongly believe at least 3 issues have to overlap. Weak metal/design/machine issue, oil viscosity/feeding issue (depending on many, many variables) and back pressure mechanism transmitted via transmission box/torque converter. You could eliminate 2 of the issues and be a lot less worried.

Would you recommend i get this or the e53 X5?

I guess it depends on how much you value your spare time/sanity? 😅 if you’re skilled and able enough to, could be worth a punt! Although I will always recommend trying Dr Tranny Lube Guard. I’ve used it on a couple of older Range Rovers that I traded out & had slight gearbox judder and it worked miracles! That’s not to say it will fix this one but for the little money it is, gotta be worth a try if you do buy one!

Thats really good advice thank you. I will consider it over the next week while I research. I found transmissions for about $1k USD (about £800) online and have everything but a transmission jack. Harbor freight has them cheap so if I could get this sorted for under $1500 I think it could be a fun truck. I am on the colonized side of the pond do you recommend any suppliers for service materials and replacement parts? Any common or major issues with the right hand drive version of this vehicle that you know of?

Both seem same fuel economy I love the biggest cars and found sport maybe bit short and small inside ? Not that much difference in price is it way better to get the vogue? Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you very much! At the end of the day it is a personal preference and they’re both fantastic vehicles! My two pence would be: the L405 driving experience is unmatched, it is so comfortable and capable! Not to say that the L494 Sport is a bad by any means and the Sport is certainly easier to park and drive through country lanes as I do. In terms of specification, I would advise to get at least the HSE on the L494 Sport and if you can the Vogue SE on the L405 as they do offer a lot more and the resale value is better too 😃

The L320 Sport would be easier to drive and park within the city and is still very comfortable on the motorway runs, however the L322 is a king amongst Range Rovers! The L320 will feel more agile when driving and the L322 can sometimes feel a bit disconnected on country roads. Still very capable but something to bear in mind! On a motorway run, the comfort of cruising is fantastic! I loved my L322 Westminster with the 4.4 TDV8 😎
