Here's my last thread, last updated 21 days ago as my piece of garbage RR continues to sit at the dealership...
www.rangerovers.net
Since that update, additional problems have surfaced....
1 - how on earth can all of this go wrong at the same time? As a reminder, I was driving the truck when "restricted performance" popped up. I drove it twenty miles home, and it was towed to the dealer. The result is a complete timing replacement, oil cooler (seems unrelated), fuel level sensor, valve sprockets, vacuum pump, two fuel pumps, and now a throttle body. Did one cause the other?
2 - the discussion about the timing chain tends to go off the rails on this site. One one hand, the issue is well-documented and some owners say replacement somewhere between 75k and 150k should be "expected". Fair enough. Expected is one thing. Acceptable is another. But what about the rest of this? Is it normal for me to be on my fourth fuel pump at 91k miles? How many are on the truck? Two?
The total warranty claim for this visit is now over $16,600, bringing the total claims in 42 months of ownership to nearly $25k.
The Saga Continues...
Here's a link to my last post about my lovely Range Rover... https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/constant-issues-with-2011-hse-need-opinions.303017/#post-2077217 I'm up to 90k on the odometer now, and took it out for a stroll last weekend when it lost most of its power and the dash read...
Since that update, additional problems have surfaced....
- Two fuel pumps were bad and required replacement, along with one fuel line. The warranty company sent the inspector back out and approved the repair shortly after
- Once that was done, the throttle body was deemed to be bad, requiring replacement. The warranty company approved the repair. I "should" have the truck back next Monday. It will have been in the shop for two months.
