2012 Range Rover...... not foreign to me but a right POS

Posted

My brother has a 2012 range rover 6 cylinder V6 diesel, he did about 6 hours work with me last night servicing and repairs to  a Cat 950H on a site I look after in return for me doing a fault on a range rover POS

Fault is low boost code P1247 turns out the intake manifold right hand side (plastic FFS)  is cracked, believe it or not it is also the cam cover, it has took 8 hrs to get the cover off, no access to anything at all, brother tells me IF the 2 turbos (1 each side) need replacing it's £5K to take the body off to get to them and after looking this is the way to do turbos on this junk.

I have been a  proper UK apprentiship trained diesel mechanic for 43 years and the idiots that designed rubbish this should be shot, just utter mechanical garbage, I have never in my life seen so many sensors in such a small space.

here's one, a bolt screws into a bracket holding lines  the head is 1/4" from the bulkhead right under the scuttle panel where the wipers poke through, screws in from the BACK, bolt is 1" long and it pokes through the bracket and stops the whole intake/cam cover from coming up and off, if it's undone it never comes out far enough to just lift off the cover, might just stove a hole in the bulkhead to put the new piece back on.

here's a tip from the UK...... DO NOT ever buy any Range Rover newer than mid 90's cos boy are they dog s### and if you come across one with the driver thinking he's the dogs just laugh and smile cos they are really a joke

Trying to get my brother into a  2nd gen ram but I'm struggling with it as he's clown

I believe that a year later they have finally taken your idea to heart.

Does anyone know the "correct" temperature of the planet? Is it when Minnesota was covered in glaciers, or when Kansas was under water? Or some specific temperature in between?

 

The oceans becoming less alkaline seems to be a bigger issue.

As for POS    you must get that    Piece   Of    S###       It amazes me how much you guys pay for Range Rovers and Land Rovers  they really are rubbish

It's so they can snicker and sneer at your your old Dodge that's still going with over 400 K miles.

 

I know what 'POS' means wil440... I only wanted to hear in more literal terms lol!
