  • Purchase advice Discovery Sport Si4 – Experience with the gasoline engine?

    Hello, I am interested in a Land Rover Discovery Sport Si4, which I recently visited. It is a model from April 2016 with 140,000 km of mileage and an output of 240 hp. I wanted to ask myself how reliable the gasoline engines of this series are. Are there known weak points or typical problems, to which one should pay particular attention? Are there experience values in terms of mileage, maintenance costs or possible engine problems? The test drive was good overall. The chassis made a solid impression, and the gearbox also switched smoothly. Nevertheless, I want to make sure that I don’t miss anything when I buy it. Has someone from the community already gained experience with this model or can give me tips on what to pay special attention to? Thank you in advance for your feedback! Best regards, Darko

  • Range Rover Sport SDV6 replacement engine – which years of construction fit?

    Hey guys, I’ve got the shit on the steam right now, my 2013 RR Sport SDV6 engine has disassembled it COMPLETE, there’s nothing left of it.Here’s a video of the damage Now my question – what does the compatibility of the engines look like? I know that the TDV6 has a different oil tank than the SDV6, but I think that the engines are identical from the hull, is that right? That’s not my first TDV6/SDV6, so I come to this statement. I have an offer for a RR Sport engine from 2017 (Only the fuselage engine (block incl. piston/plug/kw/oil pump, cylinder heads and oil tank). My plan is to get the fuselage engine and plant it in my RR. On the photos, however, the oil pump looked different to my current engine. Now I wonder if at least the engine block and oil tank are completely identical between 2013 and 2017 … does someone have information or is so deep in the matter that it knows ?

  • Winter bikes – Velar P400e

    Hello together, has someone already dealt with the purchase of winter bikes for the Velar P400e or already bought some? I am currently in the process of configuring winter complete bikes. I do not want to buy any Land Rover rims for cost reasons – I have a leasing contract for 36 months – but some of a third party. I only want to like the rims visually and the technical data is correct. This combination (mostly for the second reason) The problem is that I have to find suitable rims so far. In the vehicle registration there is the load index 111. This is already an announcement with regard to the tires. In addition, because of the relatively young age of my P400e /MY2022) I often find no ABE with the rims. And because of a single acceptance to the TÜV I would like to spare myself. Therefore the question in the round what did you get? Which tires and which rims? As an additional question of a reasonably Ah In the case of tires, why does the vehicle show the load index 111 and the tyres have 109 ex-works? I thought the load index should not be exceeded.

  • Discovery Sport: Blower (ventilation) failed

    Hi, I missed the heater yesterday for the second time. More precisely, the blower/ventilation does not react. You can not heat or blow the windows free if they should. The same happened to me quite exactly a year ago, at that time you simply solved the problem by software update. Unfortunately, I need the car over the weekend and my workshop is not occupied on Saturday… Therefore, the question whether anyone knows a trick, how I have the ventilation can activate at short notice? (Maybe a SW reset or something….) Greetings, Hauser

  • Discovery Sport whimpering with fully beaten wheels

    Hello I have had an LR Discovery Sport SE, Bj 9/15, with 12000 km and 180 hp engine since April 17. I have been logged into this forum for a short time, which I also read regularly with interest. Now to my problem, I turned to a turning hammer today, so with fully beaten front wheels a circle was driven. At the same time, it wummered strongly in the interior. (my wife then got out, from the outside the noise was not to be heard) I write times as I do not wummer the noise. I had the impression that the noise was coming from the front. There was nothing to hear about the next parking lot in the same attempt. When I was at home and drove a circle, the noise was back. This time it sounded like it would come from the back. Had the last 3000 km, so far I did not drive this noise. I was a little earlier with the mountain downhill aid e I drove down the dirt road, maybe that’s what it’s all about? But the downhill aid had already been out, I’ve been driving about 8 km without. Has anyone ever had the same problem? Does anyone know the cause? Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

  • Windscreen bar (driver’s side) released during the ride.

    Hello everyone. When I sold my Audi Q7 4L and bought an LR Disco 2018, I thought I was going to have a problem and would have some rest in the future – as the car is guaranteed. Besides some problems that kch has already posted here – today a new one for which I need a quickfix – or a real fix (if I can do it myself). — During the ride into the summer holidays (at 150/170km/h) the above mentioned windshield bar has itself in front, on the driver’s side I have clicked them back again and again (not really audible click), but they broke away again and again, from the new one. Currently I have a repair stick bamd out, which is not so sexy. Is there a fix, abroad – or do I have to look here for a mechanic (LR Sevice)? Sanke and greet you all – beautiful, complaints free fairies..

  • New Activity Key – features, info, availability

    Hi, with the new Defender and the Discovery, a new activity key is also entering the J/LR world. The thing doesn’t have much in common with the old one anymore.The old one: In fact, only for the “special occasion”. You leave your normal car lock in the car, take the AK and hold it to the “D” of the boot lid.The normal key is deactivated and is unusable until the AK is reopened (hold it back to the “D”). Unfortunately, the whole thing is very slow. Advantage: Ke The new one: With display, battery life about 1 week, “replaces” the car lock, has additional features (e.g. control of the auxiliary heating).The two pictures I have stolen from the “New Defender Owners Group” on Facebook “. The owner said the key is unfortunately without any instructions, not intuitive and the “wipe” quite tacky. Apparently it is no longer available at the moment, at least in Canada, buyers receive an email from J/LR Canada ” We are aware that the Activity Key is not available in Vista at this time. Long story short, it was removed by the UK some time ago…the UK telling us that it would be gone for the recall of the model year.” Does anyone here have more information about the new Key or its availability (in Germany)? Greetings, Hauser

  • Land Rover Defender Delivery difficulties

    In January 2021 I ordered a Land Rover Defender 110 D300 from the dealer. At the time I was promised delivery for early May. When the order was confirmed, the delivery date had moved to July 2021 (production 2.7 and delivery 23.7.). Because of the known bottlenecks in electronic components, I have now received from the dealer the information that the vehicle can only be delivered in late autumn 2022 (i.e. from today in more than 12 months). So far so good. If the components are not available, the vehicle cannot be built either. However, I am annoyed by the fact that at the same time the dealer suggests that I order the vehicle that I have configured in the SE line of equipment (additional leather seats, other rims, etc.), which can be delivered at short notice but which is about 7000 EUR more expensive. I have the impression that Land Rover prefers the production of vehicles with higher profit margin here and tries to Is it possible to convert orders into new orders (also in the context of the price increase that has occurred in the meantime)?

  • Range Rover 4.4 V8, engine damage according to the workshop

    Good day to the readers, last week Monday on the way back home there was a bang in the middle of the AB and suddenly the car started to clack, I thought first a tire had burst or something like that. To the right once stopped around the vehicle it seemed so far in order, then I wanted to start the engine he started to clack. Well ADAC called and tow to the next LR workshop, Friday I received the message from Land Rover: capital engine damage. Estimate for a new engine in the amount of 31 900 €. I am now a bit bald because this repair also does not reflect the value of the car again. When researching for a new engine I became aware of the operation “Baki Motorenservice” and requested an offer out of interest. I got a call relatively quickly and got a good advice on the phone, therefore also a specialist impression. Maybe there is someone here of the already experiences with the company could and can also communicate these. Greetings Sebastian
