I hope you can calibrate a range... (Just playing)...
It's nice to be outspoken about ones problems. Maybe you should just write some things about yourself, qualifications and skills and you never know where a contact can come from.
Wish you the best of luck bro.

@Sooperrescue, sorry it is taking long to return the Num-P. They couldn't loose it. So it had to be cut. I will inform you once posted.

sooperrescue:
No problem for the Num P for now. Naim I take dey waka.
Naija hater, good job profile but hating Nigeria should not be what you should proud of. I think before anything, you need to change your profile name.

Understand how you feel. Met Sooper in a similar way

sooperrescue:

Ah, yours is also buckingham Blue. Let me know when you are coming so that we prepare for you. How many cartons of Octane Booster do you need?

sooperrescue:
One carton. Are we going to polish the car so that we can also prepare too?

LeJeun3:

A Gud majority of Range Rovers in Nigeria are Tokunbo or Fairly used......

We might have sufficient information on the vehicle, but we usually dont have the following information
1. Driving habit of the previous owner..
2. Maintenance culture.

If you own a Land Rover and you've not had Sooper's touch, you're on a loooooong thing!

To be candidly honest, don't expect all your issues to be resolved by him overnight (but a week at most), and rest assured your car would be smoother and enjoyable than ever...and the CUSTOMER SERVICE you get is unparralled. i Have never seen an Auto technician that takes pride in genuinely resolving your car issues as against most 'trial and error' quacks all over the place.

Gave him mine a week ago with all manner of issues (Transmission, Engine, Air Compressor...close to 10 different wahala), but i'm smiling and cruising today.

The best part of it is that there is a warranty and his fees are quite reasonable...Dont suffer in silence people, a Range is an affordable/luxury car to own!

@Sooper - please let me know when the booster is in stock

sooperrescue:
Christian, ah, you wan pursue me comot for Lagos? Thanks a lot. We will have the boosters today. You can pass by or rather we can bring two cartons to your office today or tomorrow

I have followed several discussions online with regards to the Land Rover product line. The common problem seems to be the air suspension system. The complex nature of the suspension system makes it scary for people to venture into. Changing the EAS compressor, Suspension Control Module, Air springs, height sensors etc., as a complete set will easily run into $4000+... I am considering buying a 2007/2008 LR3 4.4L V8 HSE which shares the same platform as the Range Rover Sport but I am not fully convinced it is the right choice considering the cost/avaialability of the spare parts and the expertise of the local Nigeria mechanic. Experts and real owners in the house can throw more light on it and dissuade our fears. Apart the suspension system, I have not heard complains about the Engine/Transmission of the Range Rover Sport or the LR3. It apears that they are less problematic. @OP, thanks for creating this thread. It will go a long way in helping people make informed decisions if people share real life experiences.

sooperrescue:
That is the misconception about the suspension issues. Yes it is there but it can be fixed with little effort and little money. Mine have been on the road for 5 years now and I have only changed one air suspension for just N60,000. But I have changed the lower and upper arms on many occasions because I travel on many occasions with the Jeep. On many occasions, I spend N12000 for fuel from Lagos to Abuja and when you are on a long journey, to stop and refresh yourself is very difficult. I just dont want to end the thrill, wanting it to continue. We, my outfit, now fix suspensions on Range Rovers without stress. Most of the time, the jeep needs calibration of the suspensions and that is all that needs to be done but many people just assume that it is the air suspension that is faulty whereas the Jeep suspension height is inaccurate. There is nothing to fear about the suspension or about the repairs, the technology is affordable and it is everywhere. We tend to believe that it is only Coscharis that can fix the Jeep meanwhile the same Coscharis is finding it difficult to fix the problems on the Jeep. They dont repair anything but they change the parts only. There was an Auto Dealer in Lekki that changed the brake pads of someone's Sport for N120,000 whereas the same pads front and back with sensors is not more than N30,000. They changed the A/C system for N400,000 and the A/c lasted for two weeks. It took them 3 months to fix the A/c whereas a simple change of a used compressor for N30,000 will put the A/c in a new cooling condition. Height sensors never go bad inspite of the fragile state of the sensors. There is a Britparts dealer in Lagos that sells the original parts for a fraction of what Coscharis will sell the parts to you. The only problem with the Jeep is when the warning sign of engine performance reduced comes up, it means our regular unleaded fuel is taking a toll on the engine. But there are also solutions too until Dangote's refinery comes on board. Use Octane Boosters. If you have a supercharged, use octane booster at all times or you will be spending money left and right to solve an easy problem. We just fixed the active rolling pump on a supercharged in Abuja. It is the dynamic response of the Jeep and it cost a lot of money. The used engine of a supercharged cost N1.3m if you can get a good one but the engine is built to last. Following the routine maintenance matters a lot. For example, the oil requirement is 5W30 and people use Mobil 1 which is 0W40 and they still find sludge in their engines. Why? Because the oil requirement is not Mobil 1 when it is in Nigeria but Total Q9000, AP Syn and Oando Syn. They are all 5W40 and they are very good. Coscharis once complained to me during an interactive session that they use Mobil 1 on their BMWs because there is no Castrol oil here in Nigeria and they still find sludge in the 3 and 5 series. That was in 2005 and presently we dont know the current situation. The transmission fluid is portrayed as a lifetime fluid but I disagree when it comes to Nigeria. I have been changing the transmission fluid in my Sport for the past 3 years at every 15,000miles and the gear is still much in pristine form. Go get yours and enjoy the benefits the Jeep offers. Many owners dont use coolant or they use coolans not suitable for their Jeep and then the overheating comes to play. Welcome to the Club

sooperrescue:
Thanks, taking it to the car wash daily is one of the reason for the good look. But my dashboard is cracked and someone claims that he can rebuild it. When I do that, I will let everyone know so that we avoid buying an expensive dashboard. Abuja hot sun can roast a chicken in 4 hours inside the Jeep.

olumidazz:
thanks sooperrescue for your prompt response. it does not lean on any particular side, it drops evenly on all 4 usually after not having started the engine 4 about 3 days, and when immediately after starting the engine the car raises to nomal height and drives smoothly only to drop gradually very low in a period of about 3 days after haven not driven it at all.
