The range rover dieseli s equipped with def, . You can read more about it on www.bluedef.com

Good morning Chief, I like your introduction light swagger. The diesel engine filter particles can be fixed and also prevented from being blocked. We are acquiring some tools that will make diesel engines work fine in the country but until then, I cannot say oui to the diesel. The engine parts are not common and repairs might take months to effect. I am yet to observe if the range diesel Is equipped with diesel exhaust fluid which if equipped is not available in the country because even Coscharis does not have it. The diesel exhaust fluid is designed to be added into a special tank by the fuel tank to eliminate many emission related faults. I will let you know later about def which will be a factor to your choice of a diesel range rover. I know that Ford is equipped with def and you can order the fluid and top it up anytime it is low. That'll eliminate all the blocked filter, dirty egr and faulty high pressure pump.

And for the Lagos to Abuja trip, it will be one pulsating experience that you will always cherish, from the massage to the quiet comfort and the powerful engine. Autobiography can be bought as 3.0 supercharged too, so be on the lookout if you want a smaller engine.

@ sooperrescue your assistance is needed on this thread.
Hello, I am Chief Bidemi. I have a short story which precedes my request. I have 5 children. The last of them just graduated and completed his NYSC year with the last batch that passed out. All the others have graduated and are getting on fine. Since I have little recurring expenses to handle now, I want to give myself a threat. I have driven many cars but have not owned an SUV. My present car is a 2010 Toyota Camry and I intend to give it out to my 3rd child who just gave birth. I already told her to come take the car by month end.
Now, I want to give myself a threat. At least I have tried. You get to live once. I have admired the new model Range Rover Vogue which took the new look in 2013. I intend to buy this car this month and give the 2010 camry to my daughter. I know the price for a tokunbo of it. That price is fine with me. I need solid advice on what you think about the Range Rover from year 2013 till date. I don't want to buy a car I won't enjoy. Here are specific questions.
What do you think about the diesel model?
What do you think about the petrol model?
Which model is recommended? The diesel or petrol? Why?
Are the parts available in Nigeria now?
Which year can I easily get parts for?
What does it cost for simple parts like bumper, head lights, side mirrors, tail lights? You know other Nigerian drivers can hit you anytime, hahaha.
I travel a lot. Lagos to Abuja by road. Can this car do Lagos to Abuja weekly?
Is any model year problematic? Which year?
Thanks and thanks

Wao, from Toyota to Range Rover. You truly deserve this treat and it will be a wonderful threat if you dont buy the diesel because there are many things involved especially the quality of the diesel, what to do when the diesel particle filter refused to regenerate and is blocked and the engine falls into limp mode. The items you are wary of should be covered by your insurer and it should not even arise because there is no way an armed robber under the influence of indian hemp will go and rob in an army barracks, the eye go clear. In likemanner, danfo and keke and women drivers will maintain their distance, the way motorists maintain their distance behind CBN convey. That said, it is a big treat, but let it be for only you cos a driver that learnt how to drive on a vw bettle will not understand what is dynamic response, or looking for the gear lever. The parts are expensive but not near mercedes e and s class whose air suspension cost over 300k each. The major common fault is the lower arm and it might never occur if your house is in a refined neighbourhood, and salt water is not their friend , so let the csr be washed thoroughly especially the underneath if you live on the Island. The 2014 has some features that the 2013 does not have like the lights on the headlamps does not stay on unlike the 2014 and we changed one recently for over 3000usd. The electronic side steps comes standard in 2014 but it is an option in 2013. If these does not matter to you, get the 2013 model, you will save some millions. The tail lights for the range is 240k, just for you to have an idea and the parts are within 30 minutes reach. Welcome to Range Rover Sport Club

It is not a venture, it is an initiative, a green earth project. If i get a call from Epe, i will send a truck there and pick up a car without tyres and pay the owner for making me come down there? It is a profitable initiative as the Ozone layer, the excessive heat will be reduced. Kayjasper, I already have over 50 calls on our toll free from various parts of Lagos. Call 07056990111 toll free only for glo subs and give us description to your scrap vehicles. Lets save our environment

Thanks Siena, at least they can understand better. In 1999, I sent my Ford Sierra to the demolition yard in Switzerland and paid 150 swiss francs for it to be demolished. The guy refused to collect 100 frs and I was preparing to return home and did not want to take the car home. A car that can move to the demolition yard can be sold at an agreed price but not the kind of cars abandoned in Lagos, no engine, tires expired 19 years ago and some folks want to be paid to help them eliminate hazardous waste from their houses.

I mentioned gearbox and sluggish engine due to the Acura requiring premium unleaded fuel and that he should not buy even though it is a sweet car which in the end turns to bitter kola. If you are proud of your Acura, take a photo and paste it here. We know a well maintained car by its look.

You are so very wrong. I own this car and have used it for 4years now and still counting. Very reliable and strong car. Just do your routine maintenance as at when due and use recommend oil/fluids especially the transmission fluid. Yes I have changed my transmission before but it failed based on my ignorance.

At least you admitted that you were ignorant over your transmission. Can you tell the new buyer what was the ignorance that made you change your transmission? You used Abro ATF? Why not tell the new buyer what your routine maintenance means, like how many times have they changed your plugs, coils, nozzles and then what type of fuel Acura uses> Can you put your hand into your oil chamber and let us see if there is no sludge? Is the car still agile like it was 4 years ago? If all these questions are affirmative, then you can give him honest advice. Count, on any major road how many TL you will see on the road? There is only one that I know of who bought his TL and ordered 5 w 20 Penzoil from the US, that is the only guy that reads the fuel consumption online and ensures that it tallies with his car's performance.

Good question, we recycle the parts, lawma collects the tyres for free, we donate the engine blocks to people that take some parts for smelting, I have seen a lot of them looking for these parts, creating jobs for them. It is just like we pay lawma agents to pick our garbage at home and some times, we throw away our used electronic devices, house hold things, the scavengers depends on the garbage for daily means of survival.We don't ask lawma truck what they do with the used tyres that we remove from abandoned vehicles but their goal is to dispose it properly and this can be done if there is a central collection point where they can pick the tyres in bulk. That is the reason for it. The ones that we can repair, we do fix and sell to make up the cost of running the initiative. But whoever abandons a vehicle for years means it will cost a lot of resources to put the car back on the road and when you calculate the cost, you will realize that it is better to discard the vehicle. Owode traders don't buy those cars, so people allow the vehicles to rot on the street because they don't know where to take it to for demolition. That's the raison d'etre for our new initiative. Maybe a time will come when the ministry of environment will wake up and shoulder the responsibility of preserving our earth, the ecological funds will be channelled to our direction cos this is more serious thanthe after effects of erosion and poisoned underground water.

Dont buy, it is not tolerant of regular unleaded fuel and so na so so gear box issue you will face and the engine will become sluggish and Kazeem will always be changing your coils, plugs servicing your injectors and before the car tire, you have retired.

kayjasper:
No sweetheart. Thats why its called SCRAP.
A car is made of metal, with its engine and other components.
Scrap metal business is a big business for some people.
So saying we should pay him to come take away something that is worth some quid is absolutely surprising for me.
But as he said, his target are not for "people like us", but for people who have a BMW they dont want to see in their compound or environment anymore.

There are many people that have abandoned vehicles and all that they hope for is that one day they will fix the car and then the children in the street turns the car to their play lair and before you know, it can no longer be put back on the road. We are not interested in only bmw but Japanese, Peugeot, any relic that has been parked with la 3432 sd numbers, do yourself a favour and call us to help you dispose of it. You owe that obligation to the society, the earth and yourself. We will send our tow truck to pick it up. We are not being funded by the UN but it is a private initiative to rid the earth of things that we ignorantly allow to deplete our ozone layer

Thanks, that your oil, we need to see to ascertain the quality so that our motoring club members should have a feel of it.

You are right about compensation but we know those people we are targeting. Those whose cars have become relics in their houses and it has.become a risk to the owners. Those are the once we are talking about. I once took a glk Mercedes bulletproof jeep from an embassy in Lagos to a demolition yard in Ogba and we were paid 40k to take it there. It is the owners of the vehicles that pays for demolition. We are not Owode that will resell the vehicles. Have you noticed that if you abandon your truck on the highway, after a month, it is only the carcass you will meet there. Those doing that job are thieves. We have been rendering this service since 2009 and we know the many enquiries we have gotten since last night. If you know what effect the vehicles that are abandoned does to the environment, we should not then see the enterprise as a means to chop lagosians hard earned money, you will surely be glad to dispose of it. We are Rescue and Recovery nig Ltd.

Our Company is rendering disposal of used and abandoned vehicles in Lagos metropolis. We want to rid you of your abandoned vehicles that are creating environmental disaster into the water we drink.and affecting our ozone layer. For a token of 15000 NAIRA, we will come to your house, road, street and close and pick up all the cars that are causing heavy degradation to our environment and making our streets an eyesore of junk and abandoned cars.

We are conducting a review on all engine oils made and produced in Nigeria. Our 5w40 and 0w40. What are the effect on your car's engine? We have heard of oil drying up in the engine, oil that cannot to withstand our temperature and thereby making the engine to overheat. Let us know what has happened to your engine whenever you used a Made in Nigeria engine oil brand.

Honda Advises that you can use ATF Z1. I have seen people used Dexron 111 and it works fine but I will advise that you look for a better type of Dexron 111, not Seahorse or Abro.

What year is the Vogue? Before 2010, it is N500,000 only, covering all the issues your comprehensive insurance cover will not pay for, your air suspension, transmission, engine repairs, bushings and oil change, transmission oil change, free emergency rescue and recovery, From 2010 to 2016, N1m per annum because the engine requires better lubricants, 5w20, not just the ordinary roadside 5w 20, but the oil that exceeds and withstands high temperature. It is for this reason why that model is having overheating issues and even the older models too. The oils is an essential factor that determines the longevity and utmost performance of the engine. The parts for the new models are very expensive and hard to find and a 5.0 engine needs special care. We are also introducing a carbon elimination service for our warranty clients that cleans the plugs, nozzles, valves, cylinders, catalytic converters and Diesel particles filters for Diesel powered engines. This service is free for all those under warranty but it cost N20,000 for everyone that want to put their Range Rovers in top shape. From May this year, the service will begin in Lagos.

I have sent it. Only issue is the abs sensors and the brake discs

I can get for you for 3m. The guy is asking for3.5m . Buckingham blue

We are in Ikeja too. Call 08098534267

Where is the lr3?

Pardon my late response. Let me check

Does the 15k miles theory work here? What vehicle are you using it for? The other Mobil 1 in his collection is very ideal. Gazz, is there castrol edge in your collection?

The tyre fitted on the Ocholi's jeep was substandard. The frsc report was just to deceive us. They refuse to give the speed index rating of the tyre. Everyone should be wary of the tyre on their range . If your speed rating index is s,t,h, remove it and get the one with v,w,y zr.

The supercharged is A 4,2 litre engine with over 400 horse power while the hse is a 4,4 litre engine with 320- 340 horsepower. The supercharged is equipped with dynamic response which gives the range greater stability control, The hse is not so equipped, the supercharged power is what you term, powerful in comparison with the hse which is also powerful in its own right

Land Rover and Range Rover suspension systems are among the most troublesome in the market. The basic design is an air pump that fills rubber boots which replace the springs found in most other vehicles. The idea is you ride on a cushion of air that will absorb all of the bumps on or off the road. The reality is you have a very complex system of valves,pumps,hoses and airbags. All of these fail in one way or another usually sooner rather then later. Lets talk about the causes of the failures of the Land Rover suspension and Ranger Rover suspension, and what we can do to lower the repair bills when they fail. The key is to repair the small problem before it escalates.

One scenario is you wake up , go out to your Range Rover and its sitting all the way down on its wheels. The suspension has collapsed and the truck will not stand up. In this case the pump has most likely failed. The clue is that the entire vehicle is sitting low not just one corner. The pumps usually fail from being over worked, just got burned out. This will happen when you have one or more of the air shocks that are leaking causing the pump to run continuously . For this reason it is important to address the issue if your EAS (electronic air suspension) light stays on once the truck is started or comes on while driving.

Scenario two is you are driving and you notice the truck just can’t seem to stay level. You are stopped at a light and notice the front end going up and down an inch or two every few seconds . In this case you most likely have a leaky air shock or hole in an air line coming from the air pump. More evidence of a leaky shock would be the Land Rover sitting low on one corner only. Replacing just the airbag on one corner is not that expensive (about 80k) on a 2002-2005 Range Rover . On a 2005-2010 Range Rover you could be looking at closer to 70k for one as it is the complete strut assembly that we need to change. Some good news for Land Rover Discovery and LR2 owners is that the air shocks are in the rear only, the fronts use conventional springs.

OK now we know that your Land Rover has a suspension problem, what do we do next? Well there is some good news. First we always inspect the suspension components during every oil service. This way we can spot a small leak before it causes any expensive damage. You can also keep an eye on your Rover and come to the shop as soon as you notice it having trouble “getting up” in the morning. . We are the Land Rover professionals for Nigeria and will be happy to check out your suspension anytime. Air Suspension stress free month so that the journey on Easter will be blissful.

I invite your comments or questions,

Yes, they are almost the same except in little details. Dont believe the hype you hear about the balloon. The Mecs use that to fleece their customers. Until the Forex crisis, the balloon was sold for 65k, so I dont know where the news came from. A brake light bulb can make the air suspension to malfunction, a brake light switch can make your range to have transmission issues. Range rover does not accept management and staff, They want executive directors who will change a bulb once it is blown and not those who will manage the other brake light till he has time to change it, by then, there would have been issues which will compound the functionality of the Range and then you now find time with your money to fix the problem that you ignored before. The Range brand is cheaper to maintain. A good battery, oil change with filter, twice a year, transmission/axle/auxiliary oil change, yearly, good tyres with V as the minimum speed rating. And dont forget, octane boosters too.

Hello house,
I often see Land Rover jeeps for sale everywhere and sincerely wanted to buy a registered one but I have heard people say the engine is not good,
the 'gurus' in the house, please enlighten me -'What is it about this car?

hmmm. That is not true. It is a premium suv and with limited numbers of mechanics, there are bound to be issues. The engine is rugged and tested and it is a go anywhere car. Try and stand on the road and count the bmw x5 AND 6 on the road, the Ml and Gl of the mercedes and then the Range rover brand. By the time you are counting 5 bmw still plying the roads, you would have counted 50 range rovers and there is no rrs that you find crawling on a free road, they are always on the move. Get one and we will stand by you by offering you extended warranty to take away your fears...
