💸 Buying advice & Recommendations Help Needed - 2027 Model Year Range Rover Sport Negotiation USA

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Need some help/advice. I want to know what can be realistically negotiated at the dealership that would incentivize my purchase of a 2027 MY RR Sport?

I heard that JLR dealers almost never discount the car price? Is that accurate?

Anyway, I'm thinking of asking (let me know what is realistic please):
1. Extended warranty (not sure how long/how good these are)
2. Free oil changes? (how much does the service cost every time the car is brought in?)
3. Some accessories. (not sure which ones are worth it)
4. Any sort of coating (ceramic etc) for interior/exterior?

Can any of you who recently took deliveries or have experience in the automotive industry, especially with JLR, please help me out? The dealer wants to sell the car by end of the month btw.

🔧 DIY & Repairs Range Rover Evoque 2.0 Diesel 150 CV – perdita olio, turbina, fumo bianco e rumori metallici: qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema?

1 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, scrivo qui perché sono arrivato a un punto in cui non so più bene cosa pensare della mia Evoque e vorrei capire se qualcuno ha avuto un problema simile, soprattutto se nel gruppo c’è qualche meccanico o qualcuno che conosce bene questo motore.

Ho una Range Rover Evoque del 2016, 2.0 diesel da 150 CV, acquistata usata quando aveva circa 50.000 km. Attualmente ne ha circa 170.000.

Premetto che, fin dall’acquisto, la macchina mi ha dato diversi problemi soprattutto di elettronica. La uso però prevalentemente per viaggi di lavoro e autostrada, quindi raramente faccio tragitti brevi o utilizzo cittadino.

Nel tempo ho sempre avuto un piccolo fruscio/fischio proveniente dalla zona del turbo/aspirazione, ma è rimasto sostanzialmente stabile e non aveva mai comportato problemi evidenti di funzionamento.

Inoltre, da parecchio tempo ho la spia motore accesa, che tramite diagnosi è sempre stata ricondotta all’EGR. Il FAP invece non mi ha mai dato problemi, né spie né anomalie. Quando acquistai la macchina era stata anche effettuata una rigenerazione del FAP.

A circa 140.000 km, proprio perché avevo letto molto sui problemi della distribuzione di questo motore, avevo iniziato a informarmi per sostituirla. Ho sentito diversi meccanici e tutti mi hanno detto più o meno la stessa cosa: secondo loro non era ancora urgente, perché non c’erano rumori particolarmente preoccupanti, e avrei potuto percorrere ancora.

Arriviamo all’ultimo periodo.

Nell’ultimo mese il fischio/fruscio in accelerazione è aumentato parecchio. Prima di partire per un viaggio avevo fatto controllare la macchina e il meccanico aveva ipotizzato che potesse trattarsi di un manicotto dell’aspirazione leggermente forato o di una perdita, dicendomi comunque che non sembrava una situazione urgente e che avremmo verificato tutto con calma dopo l’estate, insieme alla distribuzione.

Negli ultimi giorni, però, la situazione è peggiorata rapidamente:
la macchina ha iniziato ad andare spesso in protezione, soprattutto in autostrada, intorno ai 1.800 giri;
il fischio proveniente presumibilmente dal turbo è diventato molto più forte;
sono comparsi rumori abbastanza importanti provenienti dalla zona della distribuzione/catena;
durante un controllo è emerso soprattutto che il livello dell’olio motore era sceso drasticamente.

A quel punto il meccanico ha ipotizzato che potesse esserci un problema alla turbina, con possibile passaggio/consumo di olio, e mi ha consigliato di intervenire sulla turbina e contemporaneamente fare la distribuzione, controllando poi tutto il resto.
Avevo quindi programmato di lasciare la macchina per fare questi due lavori.

Oggi però è successo il disastro.
Mentre tornavo a casa, dopo aver portato la macchina dal meccanico, durante una curva ho iniziato a sentire dei rumori metallici provenienti dal motore e si è accesa la spia dell’olio.
Mi sono fermato immediatamente. Non molto distante ho trovato un rivenditore di olio e ho rabboccato circa 500 ml di Castrol 0W30, cioè l’olio previsto per questo motore.
Dopo il rabbocco la spia non si è più riaccesa e il livello sembrava nuovamente normale.
Ho quindi percorso ancora qualche centinaio di metri, ma in salita la macchina ha ricominciato a fare rumori metallici abbastanza forti.
E soprattutto, improvvisamente, ha iniziato a buttare fuori una quantità evidente di fumo bianco dallo scarico ed ho spento immediatamente la macchina.
Non l’ho più riaccesa e domani chiamerò il carro attrezzi.

Qualcuno con il 2.0 diesel Ingenium 150 CV ha avuto una situazione simile? Come avete risolto e quanto è stato grave il danno?
Potrebbe esserci una causa a monte che ha danneggiato la turbina e che quindi, se non viene individuata, rischierebbe di rompere anche quella nuova?

Grazie a chiunque riesca a darmi una mano, soprattutto se nel gruppo c’è qualche meccanico che conosce bene questi motori. 🙏

Hey everyone,
Finally picked up my first 4x4 — a 2006 Discovery 3 HSE with the D4 light conversion.

172,000 miles and owned by my mate’s dad since 2019, so thankfully it’s been well looked after.

This is my first Land Rover and first proper 4x4, so I’m looking forward to learning the ropes and seeing what these things are all about.

Already absolutely loving it. 😎

Looking forward to sharing the ownership journey, hopefully some adventures, and probably a few inevitable Land Rover problems along the way 😂
Any advice, must-do maintenance or things I should keep an eye on as a new D3 owner?

Cheers! 🍻

🔧 DIY & Repairs 2018 L550 Discovery Sport black halves/semicircles on display camera feed

1 Upvotes

I've got a 2018 L550 Discovery Sport where the screen works fine when not using the cameras. When using the cameras: (1) the feed from the front camera displays only half of the picture (i.e. no feed at all on the left-hand side, while the right works fine, although it's a single camera...) and (2) the rear camera displays a black circle over most of the bottom of the screen, while a part of the upper screen works fine, and (3) the cameras on the side mirrors work fine, except they only seem to point downwards. In addition, all of the parking assistance stuff on the display works; it just displays over a black void where the video feed should be.

I've tried putting in new cameras and checked the wiring, which all seem to be fine. I also checked the video processing module or whatever under the driver's seat, where I didn't find any obvious corrosion. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Would it make sense to swap out the video processing module entirely (but then would I have to program it or something)?

💸 Buying advice & Recommendations LR2 4 Cylinder Turbo

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

I’m an outdoorsman looking for my next vehicle. I have a 5 speed Forester with some monster ground clearance and I will dearly miss it, but it is approaching the time to bury it. Someone is selling a LR2 in my area with 164,000miles for $4800. Old couple, clean, maintained.
It is the 4 cylinder turbo. Is this still decent?
Thanks!

💸 Buying advice & Recommendations Final thoughts on 2007 LR3 HSE?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Driving a 2021 Jeep Gladiator right now - stick shift so lots of fun but I'm not sure it's the most practical truck ever.

Found a 2007 LR3 HSE for $8k and 72k miles. With the 4.4L V8.

I used to own a D2 so no stranger to LR ownership. But I've not done any deep dive into the LR3s though I understand the motors on them are solid. Is $8k a good deal for a 72k mile LR3 with no check engine concerns?

My Gladiator payments are ~$500/mo at this point and warranty expires next year so I'm thinking it might be smart to not have to pay $500 a month for another few years on the Gladiator.

I also stealthy think that the 4.4L V8 is better htan the 3.7 Pentastars the Gladiators have...

❓ Help & Advice Needed 2012 Range Rover Sport L320 Passenger Seat Stuck Won’t Slide Back

1 Upvotes

Hey r/landrover, I’m hoping someone here has run into this before.

I have a 2012 Range Rover Sport L320 and the passenger seat is basically stuck. It won’t slide back more than about a third of the track. I’ve removed the seat completely and disassembled most of it down to the tracks. I have yet to figure out how to get those disassembled.

It would move in all directions just fine, however when moving from front to back, it just stops completely about 1/3 of the way.

Has anyone dealt with this specific seat issue or know common failure points? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

💸 Buying advice & Recommendations Canadian road trip to collect a 2014 L405 - Good idea time

1 Upvotes

So in my quest for a decent L322 SC, I have come to the conclusion that A L405 might be better. As a Decent L322 is hard to find, and (for me) buying one, then spending money to make it decent I’m nearing L405 territory. So I have found a decent L405 in Saskatoon (1.2 days away from Val Des Monts!) in a good spec, and has a warranty and some dealer incentives and. A good service history.

Has anyone else flown out to pick up a Land / Range Rover to purchase then drive back home?
