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

[wil440]

Well a few months ago my brother bought another Range Rover, V6 TDI, same as the last POS he had

 

Last week I got a call from him  "can you tow me home"  he broke down about 15 miles away

 

Gets there, has a quick look and right hand side intake hose is split, with oil present, wouldn't run at all

 

Tows him home like a conker tied to the tow bar

 

Turns out the right hand turbo has **it itself, he gets a pub buddy to take a look who actually is a mechanic for a independant Landrover specialist, takes a 5 minute look at it while my brother is cranking it and turns out turbo took the motor out, firing back out the r/h intake so valve damage at the very least.

 

To replace the turbos and the guy said if 1 is shot so is the other, the body has to come OFF !!!!  £4.5k minimum for 2 turbos and an intercooler, engine 10k plus on top

He binned it to a breakers and got 1.5k

THEN went out and bought a Porsch Cayenne, got the usual problem with the radio which does what it pleases all the time which is a common fault, calls Porsch dealer, hourly rate £268 yes PER HOUR

Some people never learn..... horse to water and all that    I'll be towing this thing home within a year for sure

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!
