My mpg figures align with those of Gremlin. Pretty consistent 32mpg until I do a long steady motorway run then high 30’s to low 40’s.

That aligns with my experience of JLR main dealers sadly. Premium product with awful customer support. I have Northampton or Milton Keynes as my two local dealers and they are equally bad.

So do we know if there is a date or engine number that these improvements were incorporated and if since doing so crankshaft failures have stopped, or significantly reduced?

It would also be inter ...

Ford redesigned the crankshaft when they used this engine in their F150 truck, presumably because of the failures that had been seen in JLR vehicles. I am not sure if the cranks are interchangeable b ...

So sorry to hear this news. As it was a hotel do they have good quality cctv that may help as evidence in trying to trace your RR or indeed the culprits?

I don’t think there is a definitive time period to replace the hoses under the service schedule but they are included for inspection for signs of ageing at 6 years and replace if necessary. For the ...

I replaced all 4 flexi hoses when I did my brake service earlier this year. I think they should be changed after 6 years on the schedule, due to the lifespan of the rubber.

The part numbers are: ...

I think they all have pipes that are too short for use on a Range Rover as the height up to the engine bay takes up a good portion of the pipe. Probably fine on a ‘normal’ car.

I would do some further research into before and after. I think there are better products to use than Waxoyl, especially on a modern Range Rover.

I use Lanoguard and highly rate it. Appreciate ...

The ACEA specification is that all C grade oils - C1, C2, C3 and C4 are rated as ‘Low SAPS’ and suitable for DPF equipped vehicles. Yes C3 has a 60% increase in SAPS over a C1, but it is still at ...
