Hey guys, I just finished the timing job on my 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Most of the quotes I got to do the job were in the 6-8K range, which I thought was absolutely nuts! After having done the job, I can see why they charge that much . . . . It was, ahem, fun. Easily the most...

Replaced rear T-case output seal, want to replace nuts and such on reassemble. The seal was easy to find, but most sellers just have that listed, and not all these other things I need. Any help with part numbers would be muchly appreciated. Also, can the spline seal cause much of a leak? So much...

Hi All, I try to do as much work as possible, but some small things I would rather just send my vehicle to have done. One of which being brakes. I was talking to one mechanic who apparently specializes in RRCs, told me to completely to the job the "old school and right way" would be a 7 hour...

Hello, I'm looking at a 2010 RRS HSE with 180,000km at a significant discount. it has a few mechanical issues but the body and interior are pretty good. The main issue is a rattle from the engine, believed to be the timing chain rattling. I'm fairly mechanically inclined but having watched some...

Hi All, I enjoy all the threads of perfect looking P38's and lifted versions ready to attack the trail. But was thinking that a "utility" thread might be cool too. My RR is old and dirty and still kicking. It does some second car duty of simple transport but for the most part, hauls or pulls...

Hello All, I am thinking about having someone OTHER than the dealer do the brakes on my 2011 RRS HSE Lux. Past brake jobs, I have done myself, with two jacks and some jack stands; however, I am over that mess, I think, at this point. I got an estimate from the dealer of about $750....with ME...

Hey guys, after reviewing all the great previous diy posts on brake rotor changes, I have a few outstanding questions: Do I need to apply anything to the threads of the hub retaining screws, for example: anti-seize or thread-lock? or is this screw fitted dry? Does the e-brake need need to...

Hey every, new here; mostly just read without posting but I currently have a 16 RRS V8 and its been making a weird squealing sound from the front ( kind of like a worn pads sound but to me it seems like it could be something else). The car was already at the dealer for a bad fuel sending unit so...

1995 RRC with 3.9 engine w/ 180k miles I've got my heads off to do new gaskets / valves, springs, and guides. Aside from that I'm wondering what else I should think about replacing while it's all torn apart. The pistons looks crusty but I don't know if that's something to be concerned with. I...

2004 Range Rover, 130,000. I have been working the last few months on timing chain guides. Timing chain cases are back on, tensioner installed, valve covers on and oil back in the crank case. I turned it manually to make sure I wasn't way off on the timing. Then I cranked it with the starter...

Hi, I'm new here and thought maybe someone could help me out with some advice. I have a 2012 Range Rover HSE Lux and at the dealership they mentioned I need a complete brake job. Sensors haven't tripped yet but the rotors are getting thin. They quoted me around $1400 for a complete set, Midas...

Just replaced 4 pads and rotors on my 2015 Range Rover LWB Supercharged. for $1800 including tax, installation and parts at a reputable independent shop here in Brooklyn NY. Did not check the prices at the dealerships as I assumed they would be quite a lot higher. (Earlier in the year I...

Hi, I picked up my truck from my mechanic an hour ago and after driving for 30 minutes I got a warning that engine is overheating. Fill tank is full of antifreeze to the top and attempting to open that or bleed valve will only spray out high pressure antifreeze. Did he fill too much? Do I have a...
