rhames:
are there other related issues that one should look out for apart from just the airconditioner sir?


Is the price ok or should i still negotiate it downwards?
It depends on you buying brand new compressor and condenser or you buy used compressor and condenser which is way lower than the given price. But then, you will need to factor in the risk involved getting a used compressor that will fail without notice. Sometimes, it might be the evaporator which is also cheaper. Let them check what is wrong first before you spend money on what is not.

I don't know about basic, but folding side mirrors came on autobiographies and supercharged models, till 2007/2008. When the the second gen Jaguar engines were installed.

2005 range rovers still had the BMW 4.4 Engine
I think he meant Range Rover Sport.

U jst go fru the menu as if you want to check the oil level, the last bit would display the true Vin number.,u can only do this with ignition on though.
For 010 models, I understand that. I was reading the vin analysis and how to determine the market that the car comes from. A 2005 Range Rover Sports from Swiss has the auto folding mirror which was given to the 2008 Us spec. When scanning, the market issue comes on.

The VIN itself would not contain mileage information, but running the VIN through various databases would yield often very accurate and reliable records, including but certainly not limited to Mileage/Service and Ownership/Origin history.

The databases vary with the region of origin or use of the vehicle, for US or Canadian registered and used Range Rovers, CarFax or AutoCheck reports would provide usually quite detailed history information certainly including mileage history.

CarFax costs a bit more and features service history, but AutoCheck does a great job at significantly less cost.

For UK and some EU member countries HPI offers equivalent or similar history information, often via the registration, rather than the VIN.

Below is a page from an AutoCheck report for a 2007 R/R Sport HSE indicating the last recorded mileage and date of export to Nigeria.
I wish I had met you last year. I would have linked you to an insurance company that needed this service but I don't know for now if they are still in need.

Learnt something very important here. The VIN number also determine the market for the Range, which also helps in determining where the car comes from. I know many people will take advantage of this service but is there a way to determine the actual mileage through the vin number and history?

Ehe Bross all Range Rover sports are built in Europe and exported . If you think I'm mistaken plz do a VIN check on the one you have let us see the outcome . .
5 he only other plant they have outside of the U is being built in Slovakia . They also have a plant in India but that's for CKD or knock down and assemble . Just chk the VIN
It is true but they build according to the country's specifications. Do you think the one they send to Coscharis is the same with the one sent to Russia? The one meant for Swiss is not the same spec as the one built for France. That is the difference.

Just say the EU Spec is better grin grin grin
EU Kini? Swiss Spec of all cars is higher than the Europe and American specs. That is why you see importers fixing CH on their cars to deceive potential buyers.
Car Talk › Re: Range Rover Sports Club by sooperrescue(op): 7:05am On Aug 17, 2018
I am beginning to think that the Swiss spec of a Range Rover Sport is far higher than the US spec. And it is very expensive too.

Car Talk › Re: Range Rover Sports Club by sooperrescue(op): 12:08am On Aug 17, 2018
Been a while but I have been observing the auto industry. Sad that Dangote has shifted his refinery opening date by another four years. I am beginning to suspect that it is a scam. So for the next four years, how will our Range Rovers fare on the road with our regular unleaded fuel? The battle has been tough but we are moving on to the point that I was contemplating restricting myself to the type of range rovers that I have to fix, like the non legacy cars but I cannot behave like a sinner who will abandon the group that fed him. So I will continue to fix the non legacy cars even as I am planning on moving to Europe to open a workshop there and be shuttling between two continents every month. I need the cold weather. Sun has weakened my skin and I need to go and snow-white my skin. But my advice still stands, use octane booster for your engine and use the right oil. Don't use any oil that states that it is good for diesel and gasoline engines. And use Api SN ilsac 5 oils. Happy Sallah holidays. We have 2015 Sports for sale. And we are still available for repairs when you are ready.

A 323F v6 with a rotary fan, the same that Vw Golf Vr6 borrowed. The best Mazda of all. Powerful and fuel efficient . It was one of the best selling cars in the 90s. Buy it and take it to Gazzuzz for repairs. For those asking for comparison with Benz and BMW, how many Vboot or 190e do you find on the road? Or is it the BMW that smokes on the road. If it smokes, use better oils and polytron and it will adjust

Yes, saw the 5w20 variant, I guess I'll make the purchase then. Just wanted to confirm the reputation of the manufacturer. Thanks for your help.
I didn't say it is OK. I outlined that if the manufacturer recommends gasoline engine Oils only, then it is not suitable. Any oil that does not have LL04 for BMW is not OK for your car. Oando is also gasoline and diesel engine and your car requires only gasoline engine oil. Continue searching.....

[quote author=SHABZ post=69555393][/quote]Not suitable. Go for 5w20

SHABZ:
Please see attached
I have gone through the data and all the sellers on jumia and autojosh. I was surprised that autojosh has no information about the oil except that it is synthetic. From their website, it is an oil that is suitable for diesel and gasoline engines, it is suitable for BMW ll01, that means it is not up to oando that has LL04 for BMW . So if your car tells you to use oils for gasoline engines only, then the oil is not suitable for your car. By the way, what brand and model is your car?

Hi Sooperrescue, have you come across Yuko fully synthetic engine oils? I've been trying to convince myself to use it for some time now as my little research on it gives me a little bit of confidence (although I didn't see the ILGAF5 certification on it)... Just trying to get a more experienced eye on it.
Send the picture so that I can get more info. I have seen it once and I just Waka pass

The engine oil requirement is 5w30 and we have Oando , Total that have 5w30 but I have not tried any of them to give my opinion but use any as it is better than the mineral oils that they use in their garages. Is your a turbo? Always use the recommended oil
