Out of curiosity so Coscharis as a whole conglomerate cannot do partnership with these lubricant companies and ship and market these oils into the country at a discount for use on these vehicles? They decided to go for Mobil 1 which is not suitable for the brand. I reserve my comment.
As at 2005, and till date, they were the importers of Abro ATF type A into the country. They denied that they use such oils in their workshops and we went to their warehouse down their lane where we saw the abro but I was thinking that they will show me the one that they are using on their current cars but they never did. I was even taken to their workshop and I was awed because everywhere was clean unlike mine and many others fixing the brand.They complained of sludge in the BMW 7 series but none on the 5 and 3 series using Mobil 1. How well have these cars fared on our roads and where are they now is another story. Is there anyone that bought his Range Rover from Coscharis since 2005 and the car is still on the road? Tell us your experience. Lets hear from you in order for our forum members to learn more and make informed choices of either buying a new Range Rover from Coscharis or buying used from the US. The market source of the Range Rovers from Coscharis is unknown, their parts especially the amplifier, you can never get it from the internet either on Ebay, Carid, Amazon or even British Atlantic. They are the only one that can source for the parts for you. But they sell Abro batteries in their garages of which I am yet to determine if their batteries have expired or not. Someone once told me that all the Castrol that he imported has been cleared by Coscharis and they were all magnatec and the white GTX, no extended performance of the Castrol.

So how much does the castrol extended castrol 5quarts go for

It depends on the source. On my whatapps forum, someone has volunteered to sell at N25k for the Castrol edge 5w30 and 5w20 extended performance and many have shown interest and we are all buying 4 gallons each to last a year. But a source in Lekki sells for 30-35k because, according to him, the duty for the oil is very high when containerised. Using extended performance will protect the engine not to the 15k miles range but at least the 6000 miles will be in order.

Thank you sir for always updating us from your vast knowledge base. We greatly appreciate it. If someone is getting a range rover better stick with the recommendations in terms of engine oil, parts and maintenance. It might not come cheap but rest of mind is assured.

Good all
Please I need help pls
My uncle's land Rover 2006's aksle [sorry for the spelling] was changed, with the pump and 2 back tires... But the car has been vibrating since and that's the main reason the tires was changed... Note, it's was vibrating when it was brought to the mechanic, it was brought to the mechanic cause it was bouncing.
The tires have been calibrated and others.
But still the issue persists.... Please what can be the remedy? Posts... Frustration is on now.
Re: Range Rover Sports Club by sooperrescue(m): 5:08pm On Apr 30, 2018
What did they do at the back? Is it Range Rover Sport or Range Rover? What is bouncing? Is it the air suspension or the tyres? Get in touch

Re: Range Rover Sports Club by Nobody: 10:01am On May 04, 2018
@sooperrescue I was thinking since our fuel octane rating here in Nigeria isn't really good for these Range Rover without the use of octane boosters, isn't it advisable to do a CNG or LPG conversion kit on the Range Rover vehicles?

It wont work. I had been observing the taxis whenever I am in Benin because almost all painted taxis run on lpg there. For the most recent Audi 80 with fuel injectors, it was not successful as they claim that it jerks all the time. But nearly all cars run on premium fuel nowadays including Toyota cars. The bottom line is to use the right oil and get octane boosters

Better, but let the oils be on ground quickly. The rate of engine failures in these cars is adding to my grey hairs. I have not seen the oil anywhere. Maybe I will beg Total to bring in their Onios 0w30 which has just been approved by Landrover. Castrol Nigeria is busy producing their oil of their future, 20w50 and are not bothered with all these new oils

it is well, I blame the Owners for the failures, they should know better not to argue with the Mech who demand proper Oils, I would like to think if you spend above N20m for your car you should be able to maintain such car to manufacturer's standard. I also think you should apply to get some sort of status or link with Land rover Uk as a service Agent so you can get regular updates from them.mayB who knows, you can get proper dealer service help from them, They are two yard from my work as we are in same Industrial Estate in North London.
PS what year of Land rover are we talking about here? c
