Five months in, it became plausible for me, made worse by his nonchalant attitude. Did he notify you of the pending title before or after purchasing the vehicle? 1 Like |

1. Power steering issue. Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic power steering and has a belt driven mechanical pump. You either have a leakage that's depleted the fluid and is causing the stiffness/whining sound (you should hear this) or you have a failed pump. 2. Remote diagnosis impossible on this. |

Ovaltine: I have been checking out these:
Innoson Charis (14m) and two brands of GAC GAC GA3S (7m) and GAC GA4 (?m).
They are new. I like new.
I have been unable to get a single review of these cars online ; all the blogs featuring their pricing copied one another and no review of performance.
I am also particularly concerned about the ridiculous price of the GAC3s. I think it must lack features given the price.
I need your insights. Buy a GS3 GAC It's a tad bit more expensive than the GA3 GAC has service centers in the country so you shouldn't have a problem I've not used Innoson so I can't speak for the brand 1 Like |

My mdx is still running on its original engine. No overhaul like your range Rover engines. One coil, one starter and one alternator after four years. No error codes whatsoever. As fit as a horse on Nigerian fuel. Same can't be said for your range rovers.
You have a problem Sir.
Mercedes outnumbers your range rovers in Nigeria.
They are not as poorly made as your range Rover.
Maybe you are part of the problem the range Rover owners are experiencing but you do not know it.

Yes you are rite...but at what expense ..coolant is meant not only to protect the engine alone. But other parts of the engine.......
This is why some cars are overheating , thermostat becomes bad . The radiator becomes rusty because of the use of water.. This is why people replace radiator left and right. And than people end up buying double cell radiator ......
It now becomes a vicious cycle of fixing 1 thing or the other. The hoses of the car is affected and replacement needed .. You than start to " ring" or replace engine .. You end up doing all these things until the car tires you .... All you had to do was just use coolant to prevent these things .. U basically accumulate unnecessary expenses......

Scientifically proven. A Corolla can not use the same oil with a Range Rover. There's oil for Toyota from Castrol and it's called motor oil while the one for Range Rover is called advanced full synthetic oil with guarantee of 20000 miles. Mobil now created a special oil for Toyota Honda and Nissan so that dem nor go do pass themselves. If a Corolla 2005 is using 5w30 and an Evoque 2018 is using 5w30 engine oil, is it possible to use the same extended performance oil on the Corolla? Think am well 2 Likes |

sooperrescue: Just like the one we are currently fixing, the guy said he bought it for his wife just 3 months ago and another mechanic just fixed the engine and he was driving around Alausa and the engine gave up. For this job, the sump, block, crankshaft, and one cylinder head gave up the spirit and four pistons. Getting a new engine was out of the equation and we finished the rebuilding just last night. Just last two weeks, we got an engine for the same v6 because the owner arranged the purchase. There's another v6 that we have dismantled the engine but the owner is still contemplating whether or not to rebuild or buy the engine. This brought up the question about the failure of the V6 engine . Lejeun told me that it might be that the supercharged is too much for the engine. He said that the Evoque also suffers from engine issues and never the gear. Since a lot of the experts are following, what is the solution because the owners are not smiling about the problem. Any other idea? The most likely possibility is the clearance in the mechanical parts of that engine cannot cater for the expansion of the working parts at optimum temperature, even worse when the engine overheats. Alpina H1 engine is suffering from the same problem. Alpina gave clearances that can't cater for thermal expansion which leads to severe scouring of cylinder walls and eventually engine failure. The n62 b44 block that the engine is based on is however doing very well without the Alpina pistons 3 Likes |

Red and green coolant. First it’s on a Rangerover. Second, what type of coolants are they selling at petrol stations ? Third, the owner confirmed that he used the green coolant on the red already in the car. Like you confirmed with your post, it will destroy the head gasket. So imagine the cheap coolant being sold locally on a V6 supercharged of a Rangerover, you will get a volcanic eruption in the engine and that was what happened Mixing of coolant will NOT destroy head gasket sir His head gasket already failed, coolant was seeping through the combustion chamber that's why it went down. The fresh coolant just overwhelmed the seepage and was deposited into the combustion chamber which caused hydrolock. |
Car Talk / Re: Range Rover Sports Club by mammanbawa: 12:16pm On Jun 25, 2022 |
sooperrescue: Hmmm. The guy was driving with a red intermittent coolant level low on the dashboard and according to him decided to buy coolant at a petrol station in ikorodu axis and still according to him, immediately he poured the green coolant after he waited for the engine to cool down, he drove out of the station and he noticed that the car was no longer accelerating like before and the next thing, it stopped at a very dangerous area of the ikorodu axis and he placed a call to our towing team. I tried to call the nearest truck to ikorodu but no one dared to go there. Next was to help them remove the gear from park because he found someone who had volunteered to help with the towing. I tried explaining to them the process but they couldn't get it. Then a police officer called to beg me to come over and assist. This time, it was already midnight. The battery was dead from the constant vain effort to start the car and they did not know where to jumpstart the car. I eventually went to the place and I was there by 1 am and dragged the car to Ikeja with a sienna towing me and the owner driving the car I came with. Though it was not advisable, I had to manage the car with the gear cable lifted up till we got to Ikeja. Except for the sump,crankshaft and one of the cylinders which were still okay, everything else was changed. The block engine cracked and affected the cylinder, the pistons flew out of its place. So in a nutshell, he told me that it was after he put the green coolant into the car that the car finally decided to stop moving. He said that he was not aware that he could use water instead of the coolant. His friends who were with him in the car confirmed the story. His engine hydrolocked cos of a failed gasket. Even if he used factory range rover coolant, e for still kaput 1 Like |
