If u have the screen on your lr3

If your engine oil for your car is being compromised by you, by using any oil that you find, stop and get the right one for your car. If your car want you to use 5w30, use it but first find out if the oil you want to use truly is worthy of that badge 5w30: There are many oils claiming that badge but they don't fit the bill. If an oil cannot exceed 50 degrees protection of your engine, don't buy. The poor oil quality in the market is now responsible for failed engines. Be wise

Reverse camera is now a available on all range rover sport 06-09 using the original screen.

Q5000 is 20w50 and funny enough is not recommended for your car. Even. Oando except their synthetic. flush the engine and use synthetic oil and I recommend Oando syn

Good day, first of all, what type of oil are you using on your honda? Have you been following the manufacturer's specified lubricants? Buying a new used engine is not going to solve the problem until you stop using anyhow oil. Try and start using Synthetic oils which is meant for your car and I recommend that you go to our Oando Autocare outlet at Zone 4 and they will check for sludge in the engine first. That way, we can decide whether you need new engine or not.

tkovie2002:
Thank you very much for the explanation and advice. I will call you as soon as I get one. And if I happen to buy from lagos, is it possible to call you for a pre-purchase check?

Of course

I have not been fortunate to be stuck in city traffic since I got the Range Sport as I have always commuted from my residence to workshop, a 5 to 10 minutes distance. But I have travelled with the Range to Kaduna, Abuja, Bauchi, Enugu, Makurdi and Lafia. I spend N12000 fuel to Abuja and from Ojodu Berger to Akure NNPC, it is 306kms and it cost me 4000 @97 to fill up. So it was in the range of 12 to 14 litres per 100km irrespective of cruising at 160kms per hour which is the normal cruising speed for a Range. Transmission fluid change is recommended every 15k miles or once a year. Forget the lifetime oil that Land Rover claims, they never figured Nigeria in their research and claims, and ensure that you change the Engine oil and air filter every 6 months or 6000 miles. The bushings and ball joints are a recurring expense if you travel regularly with the Range or your neighbourhood is in need of an upgrade, road wise. The battery is to be at 12.5 volts or yawa go gas and a blown bulb coupled with a failing battery can trigger suspension fault and transmission fault. And many unsuspecting garages can give a wrong report of suspension failure which now entails expensive expenditure. Dont look at buying, just buy it and enjoy the thrills. If you follow the service pattern and rectify a fault once it comes up, you wont spend more than N150,000 on annual routine maintenance. We have an extended warranty package of N500,000 a year that removes all unnecessary anxieties from every proud owner of a Range Rover. Powertrain, transmission, air suspension and bushings

Whatsup , please is it advisable to buy from coscharis? Cost ,warranty and reliablitiy wise.
Has your range rover sports given you too much wahala? Thanks sorry again for too much questions

I know that Coscharis claimed that their cars are tropicalised for Nigerian roads and fuel type but after seeing the BMWs sold to the Nigerian Police and the Customs top shots and the connivance with unscrupulous public servants, then they dont have any integrity.. That said, order from any source and do not depend on their after sales service because it is zero and a conduit pipe. There are many good range rover garages around and those that know themselves as such will never exploit the RR owners. Reliability is sure as it will take you from Lagos to Kano in grand style. My Range Rover Sport has not given me issues that are extraordinary. I have changed my gasket twice when it overheats instead of changing the engine, I have changed a balloon just once in four years, I service my gear every year, my engine, twice a year, and all in all, the range rover sport is still on the road and ready to go anywhere.

No. It is not in the same category just like the foto below

Take the car to our Oando autocare at wuse zone 4

Where is the car? The worrisome thing about buying used gear boxes is that we don't know the status of the gear other than it is Toks. I rather repair the old gear than buying another gear with no history. If we can see the car for inspection, it will be better than speculating. We are in ikeja

Pls i av a mitsubishi endeavour 2005 what is the right atf for it? My mechanic just told me that the oil is light,but it's not looking black nor smell burnt!

Sp 111. Our Pureguard fits the specifications. Is the gear shift okay?

sooperrescue, I have a 2004 liberty jeep, had a transmission fluid change using those red containers and before you know it, the transmission overheating light started coming on and the transmission fluid started overheating. After months, I changed the transmission fluid to the proper ATF+4 but the overheating still continued until the transmission failed. Finally, I bought a new transmission and had it fixed with the proper fluid used (mopar ATF+4). the problem is; for the past two weeks, the transmission fluid overheating light keeps coming on and I can perceive the burnt fluid when the light comes on. What is causing this? I plan on having the fluid changed, is it a cooling problem or a cooling line issue? the vehicle engine doesn't overheat at all.

Which of the ATF4 that was used and was the car scanned after the new transmission was installed?

Info@arcnigeria.com. they have many. 5w30 on their website. So which one are you sending?

What is the spec sheet of North sea oil? Can it withstand 50 degrees temperature? is it Iliac 5 complaint or dexos complaint? any oil that is not compliant with these bodies Spec is not suitable

Use Total. Q7000 and mobile atf dexron 2e

How many percent of poor people are barren? How many poor people do u see in fertility clinics? How come the rich who can afford to raise 100 kids go thru great length to get just one child. Has anyone caught a poor woman patronising baby factories? God rules in the affairs of men and He decides those to carry out the tasks that has been planned before Ages. Abraham had 8 children, Isaac had 2 while Jacob had 13 children. And God was their God. Was Isaac the richest among the three? Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them, they shall contend with the enemies at the gate.

Nissan Quest is a middle class luxury van with a bigger engine capacity. What are it's uses? school runs or family car? The biggest mistake many Nigerians make is buying the big engines for city runs. You will not expect quality performance if you buy it. Quest uses premium fuel for maximum performance and without that, it is not advisable. Try Toyota sienna,

Pureguard global atf. the issues are that passat does not work with Nigerian fuel

Edgetech injector cleaners might work for your RRS but there is no harm in trying it. From my experience, if your tank is always half full and your injectors are not clogged, then you dont have any need for it. But if you sometimes allow a dtc code to say misfire occurred due to low fuel, you might use it to dissolve all the dirts from the fuel tank.

Hellooooo, I am really sorry for asking my question on your platform, new to nairaland and looking for where to write up a new post but don't seem to get it. Again I am really sorry.
My question
I have worked so had as a young guy and save up a lot and my business is doing too good. I love the Range Rover sports look so I researched a lot for the most reliable year from 2009 downwards and found 2007 and 2009 to be the most reliable. So I'm going with the 2009 range rover sports because the newer the better I guess.
Since the RRS 2009 requires premium fuel and nigeria doesn't offer that and octance boosters can knock or spoil the engine, what do I do about the fuel situation seeing that many Nigerians use RRS and seem to put some kind of fuel to keep their RRS moving.
Thanks for your time and once again , sorry.

You have done a good research and we don't have premium unleaded fuel in Nigeria hence the resort to octane boosters. The range rovers that you find with engine issues are those that never knew that they had choices as regards the fuel they use on their Range Rovers. I have been using octane boosters since 2009 in response to my passat 2005 and Mercedes e class that all died because of the fuel in Nigeria. In an interview with Ppmc top officials in Abuja in 2007, they told me that anyone driving cars that are not using our fuel are on their own. In 2008, I began researching on boosters and we had already began test samples using toluene, kero and atf and later settled for Johnsens octane boosters. There are over six brands of octane boosters currently in Nigeria. Stp, abro, nulon, Johnsens and dyno tabs. We have been selling Johnsens since 2009 and until 2017, when dangote start selling high grade fuel, we'll still be supplying all our loyal clients. Welcome to the new thrills your RRS will give you but get a booster.

Chasing shadows. This is ignorance of the Press. Every passport issued to any Government dignitary expired on May 29, 2015. It is as useless as your expired ATM. The new CG of immigration does not know the job given to him. This is the reason why it is not good to bring outsiders to head such sensitive agency. Even the NASS vehicles plate numbers expired in June.

hmm. a naija used Passat. Hope you got it for peanuts else you should be prepared for repairs, acute repairs. I saw a used 2008 Passat that was sold for N400k. The owner was glad to find a buyer at that price. Back to your questions. Try and get good engine flush and flush out the sludge in the engine, then use OANDO SYN oil. As for the transmission fluid, you need multi purpose global synthetic transmission fluid like pureguard. There is a coolant called freezetone in the market, get that too if you are in Lagos. And the final advice is to get Octane Boosters for the Passat to see if it could remedy the big issues already living with the car. VW Passat does not work very well with our fuel hence you see fewer cars on the roads these days.

We are overwhelmed by the responses to our roadside Assistance package for Range Rovers. A new concept is now in place. Welcome....

this is not 2010 rrs

If you use seahorse, you better pour it into the sea than into your gear box. I dont understand who allows all these red chemicals into the country without letting consumers to know that seahorse is good for cars made before 1995, Total fluide 11d is ideal for cars made before 1995, that Mobil ATF is for cars made before 2002, That all Dexron 111 atf are meant for cars made before 2005 yet Nigerians are still using these fluids without being protected by the Consumer Protection Council and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria. Fortunately we shall commence a radio program called AUTOWATCH on Radio one 103.5 where these issues will be discussed with those saddled with the responsibilities of protecting the motorists and the way forward. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Autowatch is powered by Rescue and Recovery Nigeria Limited. It is not a satire o. Imagine the pains of the motorists using seahorse in their transmissions and the best way is to pollute the sea with Abro, Seahorse, Total, and all those white garment bottles. Stay tuned

In Lagos. You can call me again for details

the poor performance of the gear signifies that the gear is dying. Try and look for truvalue dexron iii or use pureguard dexron 6. Where is the car?

cvt transmission is not interchangeable unless you let an electrician perform some modifications. Those who normally change their murano engine and gear to toyota sienna also go thru a lot of stress. Holts atf has not been verified to be dexron iii contrary to what they claim and if there were no electrical modification done to the car when they converted your gearbox, then what you are going thru now is expected. I suggest you go back to basics, fix a cvt gear and use ns1 cvt fluid. Whatever gain you must have made by allowing your mec to tropicalise your car has been eroded. Return to basics
