Thanks a lot Sooper for creating this thread and thanks to all contributors.
I have a Range Rover Sport 2006 and i observed the Dashboard light not displaying and the front suspensions not coming up. Note that this car is for sale and I want these issues fixed first.

Please I would appreciate your contribution by way of recommendation of a good 'rewire' and what could possibly cause it. Thanks.
A rewire without a scanner will put the car in limp mode. Scan the car first before any other options. We're on the mainland. In ikeja.

Welcome to the club and please ensure that you make all necessary changes when they are due. You will need the octane boosters for your Lr3. It's for all models of the land rover brand. Remember that maintenance is the key. Try and change the engine oil and use the recommended oil. There are many types of Castrol but avoid the ones that are petrol and diesel engine oil, those SN-CF spec, that will also eliminate Mobil, Total and Oando. They are all 5w30 but not all 5w30 are permitted on the range rover. The Castrol Edge 5w30 extended performance in gold color gallon is the best for the car. It has been proven to withstand high temperatures and cools down the engine and eliminates friction among the internal components of the engine. Good luck to you as you experience the wonders on wheels. The off road capability is second to none as we have tested it on the elegushi to eleko Beach route and it survived beautifully.

Total oil na im you cast like this?
Re: Range Rover Sports Club by sooperrescue(m): 11:49pm On May 23, 2020

Total oil na im you cast like this?

Sorry bros. Na how we see am. They are all diesel and petrol engine oil. Castrol will display on their gallon the star bust logo of Gasoline engines only. If the logo is on the Total gallon, then it is good. Do you know that Toyota is one of the vehicles that are very selective of the oil you put in their cars? Check out the oil chamber cover of a Toyota and you will find gasoline engines only, energy or resource conserving. So with this information, you will never find it on any oil manufacturer in the country and not even the Castrol sold locally from SA except the oil from the US and some European countries. So if Toyota did not recommend these oils, na range rover go come say that make you use am on our high compression engines?

But Mobil has energy conserving

But Mobil has energy conserving

Made in Egypt or the one from the US? The Mobil 1 US spec is almost similar to the Castrol Edge also made in the US. But what I don't understand is why will mobil be sending the Egyptian spec to Nigeria when they know very well that 90% of the cars in Nigeria are from the US and so they should factor the good oil specification for American market cars. Make I nor talk too much.
Happy celebrations to all those who believe in the real reason of Ramadan. Please abide by the rules in and out of season.

Try the 06 to 09 model. Low budget maintenance is possible. Besides engine oil change, everything is affordable.

Bros, low maintenance is possible if he does not allow the car to develop big issues before he fixes it. Someone had low coolant warnings on his 2014 range rover autobiography supercharged and I told him to top it and I will send someone to pick it up the next day. Guy added water and the warning stopped but he did not ask for us to come over for the car until the cooling system collapsed and the gasket was burnt. That's the difference between low maintenance and the extreme maintenance that most people are afraid of when we are talking about range rovers.

With all due respect, I still repeat, Land Rover range rover, free lander do not command low budget and low maintenance. Something must go bad no matter how religiously careful one is in owning these marques.

We are saying the same thing. But the bottom line is early detection and repairs. That's why I always say that range rover brand are for directors and not for managers. Another client with an 06 supercharged came last year for service and we discovered a dynamic response fault that would cost him less than 40k. Guy promised to come again and never did until 2 weeks ago towing the car to the workshop. When I saw the condition of the car, I was sad that the gentleman will have to pay very much to bring the car back on the road. That's is the definition of high maintenance. I have seen Range Rovers that come in for service every six months for 2 years with a change of brake pads only. There is this 2019 Autobiography supercharged LWB that we were the one that did the first service and at every 6 months when due. Last month, we changed the brake pads front and rear. That has been the only thing that has been done on the beautiful car. Range Rovers are low maintenance cars only if you are a director.
