Hello dear forum members, I’m looking for orientation to our Range Rover, model 2011, TDV8, 4,4l, 313 hp, 174 tkm The long suffering story 2022/2023 I try to show very briefly. 25.2.2022 – Failure Tank indicator (and display range – km) 27.2.2022 – After refuelling in Upper Italy, start back trip, the tank cover was forgotten by the tanker 27.2.2022 – After 550 km breakdown – After toll station the vehicle did not pull properly. 28.2.2022 – Acceptance of the vehicle at LR Sbr. from the ADAC repair (“All reasonable and necessary please” 09/17/2022 – Although the repair time was agreed with the workshop about 4 – 6 weeks, it took 6 months (employee shortage, complex engine ….) and only part of the work was done, 2 to 3 hours and a battery and cable harness changed. It was said that it had changed 12.2022 – The tank indicator failed completely again. 12.2002 to 03.2023 – Contact with LR Sbr. is almost impossible because the error has occurred again. No receipt of agreed recalls etc. (trader complaint repeatedly filed with LR Germany etc.) The vehicle was still moved only a few 100 km. 15.04.2023 – breakdown, with exactly the same symptoms as on the vehicle. 27.2.2022. There was a gentle wave-like jerking, as if the transmission was defective or the engine control spins or the engine would not get properly fuel. Towing to LR Trier. Continue contact to LR Germany. Feedback LR Germany: “Since we do not have sufficient technical expertise, we are dependent on our dealers in this regard. I therefore contacted Mr. Cartus from LaLinea. He tells us that it is at the in-house Re We ask for your understanding and hope that you are satisfied with the current repair.” 5.2022 – Order LR Trier issued to fix the cause of the breakdown. This time no cable line has been changed. According to the measurement tanker defective. Donor fuel supply indicator renewed. Vehicle picked up in June After 19 km the vehicle dries repeatedly while driving. Ander As with the breakdown, where as a layman I first typed a transmission damage, still soft, but with normal engine power and just as if you were driving over road grooves. The error occurs according to the assessment workshop manager LR Trier, if the vehicle is driven underboard (if that goes with the car at all) and thus the error is provoked. The vehicle is again in the workshop since July and we are uncertain how we should proceed. Recommendation LR Trier. Compression, for 700 euros. In logic, it is true, on demand from me, that the injection nozzles would then be exchanged if the measurement result were good. Follow-up costs, with good results, 3200 euros. If the compression was poor, the silent suspicion (because a similar provocative “shrinking symptoms” had already been encountered to the workshop manager 5-7 years ago) would harden itself that it was a valve damage. Follow-up costs, incalculable. However, it could also be something else that could be different. With the compression measurement we could, if a sale was desired, achieve a higher price at a sale of the vehicle. My question, finally (and I have shortened the whole history/discussions/communication/engagement VERY, nevertheless sorry for the larger versions): How would I best proceed? If we could get the vehicle in a semi-sustainable way at some point, it would be an option to RR still to keep. It’s rather a matter of the heart. On the other hand, we are so annoyed that in the meantime a sale also seems realistic. Let compression be measured at LR Trier? Bring the vehicle to a workshop, where the whole thing is examined and revised with passion (in the area Cologne/Bonn was once recommended a specialist, but I could not find it any more despite searching). uen, if I would get a feedback here. Thank you in advance, Oliver

I got my new Defender X-Dynamic HSE D250 delivered. What irritated me is that apart from the 3 charging sockets on the center console there are no more in the whole vehicle. I had driven 2 demonstration cars, with clearly minimal equipment and everyone had in the rear area still some USB ports and in the trunk even classic Schuko plugs. On request my dealer told me now, that was not available at the time. I think this was for serial equipment. g or am I wrong? Is it possible to retrofit it?

Hello guys I’d like to open up a new topic how far you can drive with your full tank I’d like to be interested in Tank size and range My 2 liter Discovery Sport Diesel 150 HP With full tank up to the lid edge fully fueled, the onboard computer shows me up to 600 km range of the Land Rover engine is really thirsty but you can understand this with four wheel and 1.8 tons weight that the car consumes so much What are your ranges at full tank

Hello, I am interested in various reasons for a Land Rover Discovery. Does the car or the brand speak for quality? Most of what I read or don’t hear. In addition, there are very high inspection costs and so on. Can you confirm this? The vehicle should be used for holidays and weekends, which amounts to about 5-12tkm p.a. In addition to trailer operation (up to 3.5t) I would also like to take full advantage of the off-road accessibility (block, underlay, etc.) e to take a petroler, because usually less repair problems and the other additional costs (insurance, tax) will be lower. Furthermore, it should run at temperatures of -20 to 30 degrees and more better than a diesel?! Is this possible useful? The consumption in this vehicle class should rise enormously and in addition to the cost of fuel, would of course also disturb me the lower range. What do you say about this? On the island the driving will be the service network should be better and also the maintenance cheaper.. but here in Germany. Apart from this, there are not so problematic temperatures and salt on the island. Interesting would be still Pajero, Pathfinder, Touareg, which are actually all too “short”. I need at least 1.85m semi-level loading area and as high as possible, what the Discovery can do better than any other. Or someone knows there an alternative (1 ,9m level loading area)?

Hello together, just got new brake discs on my rrs back. now these visually quite terrible all around…. pictures are attached. lt. dealer be this normal!?!? had this with none of my cars and they just want to get rid of me. which is partly rusty on the brake field, which still goes away 1,2 or 3 brake knobs is already clear and normal – but the whole other field all around not… how do you see this please?

Hello together, we are about to buy a Discovery 5 – I find unfortunately no specific information if and if I can take out an original Land Rover connection guarantee / warranty insurance for the vehicle. We buy the vehicle NOT from a Land Rover car dealership but from another commercial seller/car dealership. I think the vehicle meets the requirements – KM Stand 129,000, EZ 01/2020. Has someone experience with it here or can give me a hint Best regards, Tom

Hello guys, I’m just looking for the perfect car. Currently I’m driving a Phaeton but would like to switch to landing cars. After test drives with a ML, which is personally too small for me and an X5 I wanted to ask here in the forum how it is with the driving comfort of a Range Rover Sport? Of course I could read test reports but I am a man of the people and would like to read personal experiences about diseases and comfort of the vehicle. Another question would be the consumption at 2,5. Is the engine big enough for the vehicle, or should one get a bigger one ? mfg

Hello together, new attempt, got my SDV 8 delivered 2 weeks ago, the car drives quite neatly. But now: Shortly after the order my dealer said that the SDV8 was no longer available and is replaced by a 6 cylinder. After long back and forth it was possible and I was happy to get an 8 cylinder. Was today on the land rover side and I looked and what I see: the 8 cylinder (339 hp) is by an 8 Zylin that (350 HP ) has been replaced. That really makes me angry. Nobody told me this before. Is that really so, will the 339 be replaced by a 350 HP cylinder diesel? Another question: Can someone recommend me a really serious CHIP tuner. (No self-installation) Thank you for your support. Greetings Martin

Hello, I read all sorts of things in several forums and still found no solution. Seems to be a very special problem. So I recently got a Range Rover Sport 2.7l BJ 05. At the test drive everything top, chassis went up and down without problems. So bought a car and then drove back home satisfied with it. Not 50 kilometers he then started to make problems. “Suspension errors” but only the “Gelbe” . Well that went on so far until s I had the car at some point completely lowered and the suspension no longer worked. Hard slot mode means that, if I am not mistaken. So searched in forums and finally found out that the compressor of the suspension is broken. So brought new compressor from AMK, self-installed, relays exchanged and driven to Land Rover and had new software installed. They managed to drive the car up, but now the height control is completely disabled. If I de I start the car and wait 5 seconds the same error comes. As if he didn’t recognize the compressor. In addition, he has now fallen back to the front on the “entrance height” but at the back he is still on the “normal height”. I really don’t know what to do and at Land Rover I don’t want to let him find the mistake alone would cost me a few hundred euros. Maybe I can go down or up to the top. Thank you very much MfG Samuel [translated by Motor-Talk from the topic ‘Range Rover Sport suspension errors’ in advance.]

Hello together, since the discussion about the current version loses itself in several threads, I thought it would be a good idea to open a thread on the above topic. Maybe you write which Fzg. you have with what state you have. It seems not quite clear what OTA is running and what is going on manually. I have: RRS from 2018, software OTA activated according to , S19A_19.24.2-375121 Status as of today 22.09.19, Updates are not available according to query
