walahi we dont know him

sooperrescue:
kai, the two of una nor serious at all. He dey explore options. I was told toyota v8 engine works perfectly on a Range Rover too but....

kingreign:
tell us the full gist na.

I know Toyota's denso MAF is what's on RR S and LR3 and is their own MAF but......

sooperrescue:
but I don't want what happened in 1939 to occur again

LeJeun3:





Let it happen abeg....


Let's liberate the masses!

Toyota Sienna engine in Land Rover Freelander
Toyota Land Cruiser V8 engine in Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Toyota Corolla VVT in Land Rover Evoque

You have already declared the world war 11. Liberating the Jews is a task the we must achieve. I remember a lot of people that abandoned their freelanders when they changed the engine to toyota. Even muranos have been sold to demolition teams after changing the engine to toyota. From all I know, that is the last bus stop for that car. It is the same thing with those that changed their air suspension to springs. That also is a sure way to say goodbye to your Range. i was in Ladipo one day when a guy wanted to sell his Rr vogue for 500k. Air springs, engine sounding strange but stilk moving. He was offered 250k and he refused. That is now the lot of many owners who allowed these mecs to ruin the supercars.

Good morning guys please I have 2 range rovers sports 2006 and 2007, the 2006 petrol I bought and used for over a year then the engine got bad, so I bought a diesel one bcuz the petrol engine was expensive and also consumed a lot bcuz so I later on bought a diesel 2007 which got bad with 6months apparently the guy who sold me the diesel had repaired the engine before and I didn't know. So I wanna repair both cars and sell one but I wanna replace the original engines with either a Bmw m57(diesel) and for the petrol range I was thinking of using a jaguar s-type v6 or some kind of Toyota v6 or v8, please suggest any better engine other than the ones I have stated which could be better for the swap, I still want the automatic transmissions.

sooperrescue:
That is the sad story we encounter in the line of work. Bmw and Range Vogue Engine is not more than 300 k difference but to save cost, they buy the Bmw Engine that has been ravaged by poor fuel and unsuitable Engine oils. Maintenance is the key and when it is ignored, the cost to restore is exhorbitant.

Bro, even the Europeans do engaged in the conversion I just google RR forum...

My conclusion..
British vehicles are not reliable sir.
thank God Nigerians has Geek like you guys...many of this vehicle are rusting in Niger and Cameron

Why don't you tech guys invest in engine rebuild services?

sooperrescue:
Like you stated, these cars share the same engines but the sump is different. When you put a Bmw Engine on a Rr vogue, the modifications that will be made is too much wahala and mind you, the Bmw engines are not in top shape. A 2005 RR engine in the us is a little bit expensive than the sport Engine . So the one here sold for 700k is not in good shape. The bottom line is following the manufacturer’s specifications. Then you will enjoy the car.

Walahi, they'd be billionaires.

We do in most cases but getting the crankshaft is a serious issue. One of my clients went to the UK and we mandated him to look for crankshafts in a demolition site but could not get one. The low octane fuel and the wrong engine oils are the major issues affecting a range rover engine and we counsel everyone to boost the fuel and use the recommended engine oil for your peace of mind. A new crankshaft cost 1600usd while the used engine cost 3400usd. So rebuilding the engine is possible only if the crankshaft is in order.

sooperrescue:
Billionaires ke, fixing a range rover engine is not more than 700k, that is for the 06-09 models, and the engine at ladipo is 1,3m range, so e nor reach millions

Kashif:


I thought the crankshaft has a low failure rate? I am thinking rings, camshafts, valves, piston, rods etc.

Another problem with Engine parts is this.There are more Diesel Range rovers than Petrol.Diesel Engine parts is cheaper cos thats all waht is seen in Europe.Petrol Engines in Europe are nearly non existent.
