Hello. I have a 2017 Range Rover sports diesel. Want to tow a caravan. Wondering about the suspension that lowers itself when parked. Does it do this and is ok or can you stop it doing that when its got the load of the van on its back. Thanks
Hi have a tdv8 2014 ranger rover sport Im having an issuse when I push the start stop button , it shuts off but takes 4-5 seconds and makes funny noise, what could this be?
Hi brains trust
Looking at buying a 2011 v6 diesel, 230000km, one owner full service history, this will be a second car for towing a caravan. What do you think?
Hi Libby make sure you get the vehicle really well checked out. Engine wise they are a dog and blow extremes amount of smoke from about 60,000km. We had two of these from new and both exactly the same. Good luck.
don't do it , save yourself money and time , buy any other brand
How much is an extended warranty for a 2016 model
Hi I have a 2008 RRS L320 4.2 S/C V8 and the auto feels like its flaring in 3rd gear it doesnt feel right Ive serviced the trans a couple of weeks ago and done the adaptive clear and relearn but now its flaring badly from first to second not sure whats going on or going to happen next as its my first rangerover?
Hi There, My 2014 with 60,000 ks has developed a noise in the front end, the noise can only be heard inside the vehicle but seems to be coming from the front diff. The noise sound like the gears are not meshing, click, click click on full lock going slowly. Can any one know what is going on and how is it fixed. Thanks
The diff on these should be pretty robust, and without issue at only 60000km. A clicking at full lock is often a sign of faulty CV joints, usually one or bother of the outer ones. If that's the case, they're likely to replace the axle on the offending side as a complete unit, because it's far quicker than pulling and replacing just the CV joint. The upshot is that you'll also get a new inner CV joint and boots as well. On my 2005 RRS, I had a clicking at slow speed turns that ended up being a bad rear wheel bearing. But thats an uncommon symptom I believe. Best of luck.
Thank you !!
what is the size of the discs on the 2019 HSE Dynamic compared to the 2016 with stealth pack

Hi all out there in RR world.....a couple of questions for the discerning RR owner. I am looking at purchasing a 2009 RR TDV8, Sport model, it has done 129,000 km. Can anyone enlighten me to the probability of problems with the turbo, the reliability of this vehicle, even though it is 9 years old, and really how expensive are they to service and fix?
Hello
I am looking at various models of RR wondering what to purchase. I have been told the pre 2008 Sport's were prone to Air Suspension problems, the Diesel's are prone to engine and Transmission failure. I am now thinking of looking for a low mileage earlier L322 (around2003) with the BMW or Jag Motor, were there issues with these as well? Which is considered the best RR. I have read the petrol-supercharged versions are the best motors and this appeals to me as I intend to tow a large heavy Caravan with whatever I buy.I already have an ever-faithful 89 3.5 RR with a genuine 160K on the clock; it has a slightly upgraded Engine: Cam,Heads,Extractors,Air Intake,Computer,Manifold etc. Unfortunately she is not up to towing the van and in my old and decrepit state I would like a little more comfort.
All advice will be taken with understanding; for every bad reference there will be a good one, however the quantity of each will determine the final decision.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
Can you see from a normal service if the turbos on a range rover sport v8 3.6 diesel is fuel if oil or would you need do more digger to find this out please?
Hi . I recently bought a 3 litre v6 range rover sport (2016) . It has done about 35000 km's . Two days after drving it . i had to send it in . I was told that the supercharger pump was gone . I would like to know if these cars are troublesome and should expect the vehicle to be in repairs very often ?
Hi everyone,
Great to hear some reviews on the RRS. I’m looking to buy one very shortly.
I would really like to hear any comments and reviews on the reliability of the RRS Supercharged V8 L320. I have seen one go and I was very impressed. Just hoping that extra power doesn’t come with too many hassles/problems?
Cheers in advance
Hi, the V8 SC is the most reliable of the RRS range. Less trouble than the diesel models. But in a older RRS make sure the maintenance,ce has been done properly. This is a 2.5 tonne car and brakes, suspension (air) and wheels / tyres need to /be in good condition and maintained / replaced on time. Go to rrrsport.co.uk for the source of great info.
I bought a RR Sport V8 TDV 2008 2 years ago,they look great and when you put your foot down it takes off and is pretty quiet but the handbrake mechanism seized up, the suspension has never worked right and recently the right front wheel drive shaft gave out on me. It only has 120,000 miles on the clock. In hindsight I should have gone for the Audi Q 5 or 8 or even the VW Toureg.
My range rover sport l320 tdv8 2007 has a problem with low range. It's in high range but the low range light flashes on the dash and the high range flashes in the 4x4 computer in the dash.
When this happens all the dash lights come on and I lose the suspension, sports mode and cruise control.
We have tried to reset the tempest codes but once the light flashes they come up again. Any ideas?
Really sorry, no I don’t know. Why not post on rrsport.co.uk, great site and someone will help you

Hi I would like to buy TDV6 secondhand is there a good year model to look out for?
After 2010, the TDV6 became 3.0 litre. 2011 onwards would be a nice car. Great website rrsport.co.uk good luck,I am on my 5th RRS but this time it’s a petrol V8 Supercharged.
Have a 2007 RRS TDV6 where the transmission has failed and needs to be replaced. Has anyone had a problem with transmissions? Message that came up Transmission fault limited gears available.. HDC fault, suspension lowered.
If you listen to the sales people its sealed and lasts forever.CRAP
Have the auto serviced at 60k and 20k there after .
I found out the hard way and had to get it fixed & can cost $5000- $7000 dollars
Replace the stop light switch first if it didn't really do what it signalled Suspension lowering, etc. Switch has another set of points which get soot on from stop light points, these other set of points send messages to computer management systems, re. cruise control, you are applying brakes ect. Soot causes micro switch to send wrong message. Also check your voltage from alternator and battery
How often do you replace the air filter in a Range Rover sport 3.6 v8 turbo diesel 2009?
That really depends on how you use it. If you drive lots in dusty conditions or in the dust clouds behind other vehicles you will probably need to change it often so buy a spare and check it regularly. The more dust it eats the more often you need to check it. But if you only drive it around on bitumen you can leave it to the guys who service it to decide.
