sooperrescue: Dear Sir, I am struggling to reconcile your assertions; unless there have been typos which you have pointed out. Reliable and cheap. Yes i know Range Rovers are very very NOT reliable. Then you go on and say a replacement engine costs NGN4m...... FOUR MILLION NAIRA? Air filter for NGN90,000 Is this a typo? To be changed twice a year? Issokay! I rest. Kingreign, has this been discussed before? OP please ignore the pic below.

Shagati: I believe he was trying to say scheduled maintenance cost N90K. . . . . Then again, the sample we are looking at isn't considered in pic. Even kingreign admitted that upgrades have recorded less issues. . . . |

Actually #sooperrescue was NOT joking. I know for a fact that he will charge you close to 90k for oil change |

brojero:that is true. Castrol extended performance is 70k, two air filters, one paper oil filter, diagnostics to check the car and reset the service required. All these for 90k. It is oil that matters. If we were to use our local aluminium oils, na poison be that. It will fry the engine as it could not keep the temperature down. Range rovers are reliable if you follow the recommended advice of the maker. The Castrol 5w20 sold by Eterna oil is the number one cause of failure of these engines. That oil is not even on Castrol's oil lineup in the US. Anyone with a knocked engine knows for sure that he will not get more than 2m to sell the body without an engine. When I said that the engine is sold for 4m, it is the naija used engine that have sufferred from wrong oil usage and low octane fuel that you will get for that amount, so in a nutshell, it is a lose lose scenario. That is why there is a need for preventive maintenance to put the car in shape. When people talk about reliability issues, I keep wondering where they get the news from. A 2010 range rover has a wobbling suspension, many people will say it is the balloon but we found out that by changing the brake disc and correct brake pads, the story ends. A faulty brake switch can cause havoc on the electronics ditto a blown rear bulb. Range Rovers are for Directors and not for Managers. 2 Likes |

Range are no cheap to run . However if you cannot spend N100k on a routine maintenance then you got no business owning a range rover cos in the long run you will spend more plus have a bad experience . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

erico2k2: I know someone that took his R Class to Globe Motors and he was given a bill of N900k for fuel related issues. A car bought brand new. I have seen Coscharis workshop giving to a Range Rover Sallmama 04 1.4m bill to fix transmission related issues. I now asked the owner, how much is the car? 100k is ideal for routine maintenance every six months. Some owners will not strap their batteries properly and in the long run will destroy the battery and causes the electronics of the car to malfunction. Let me quote you again :if you cannot spend N100k on a routine maintenance then you got no business owning a range rover 1 Like |
