I accidentally called this engine a Coyote. Its actually an AJ 5.0 V8. Which is Ford still. Just FYI

[@chefjefe68]

In your Wizardness, I was surprised to hear you call that motor a Coyote, even as your camera caught a "Jaquar/Land Rover" brand on one of the hoses.

[@damianpasour]

Wizard can you do a video buy this not that on range rovers to get more of an idea of which ones are good and bad??

[@syxepop]

I know, Ford still got a lot of input in there, like they still do on the Lion (TD-3.0L V6) they both developed and Land Rover uses on some of their SUV's and crossovers.

Ranger Rover......

[@brockvanleer1010]

this is my range! the bill isn’t close to 5k is much under and they’re doing lots of other things not talked about in the video, some custom things i requested. One of the most expensive bits is the parts not necessarily the labor, that little battery since it’s completely out of stock almost everywhere is 500 alone from resellers. supply and demand i guess. but it’s in good condition cause i meticulously chose one that was a one owner, owned by someone very wealthy from new york city who kept extensive upkeep on the service records, and had lower mileage on it. i’ve thrown 18k of my own miles on it and it’s been a joy to own. sure it’s not as cheap to run as a honda civic, but if your concern is money then you shouldn’t be looking at a range at all. this is my second sport i’ve owned, i take it off roading, camping, and on long haul drives and it’s one of the most comfortable and fun suvs i’ve ever owned. plus a GREAT stereo… once that pesky center channel speaker gets fixed 🤣. Thanks wizard, mike, and daniel for looking after her!

[@lk7144]

Beautiful car and it shows its great upkeep.

[@knightride9635]

I was going to comment that 5k is still a big chunk of money for such small repairs. Thanks for the clarification and enjoy your car.

[@volvo09]

Not bad! I actually like range rovers. I'd buy one to test my diagnostic and repair abilities down the road, 😂 Only thing that would have scared me is NYC... Those are hard miles I wouldn't pay a premium for over a higher mileage vehicle from a rural area. All that shifting, accelerating, stopping, idling.. only to do it again 2 blocks later. Btw cool to see you get out with it. I live in a rural area with thousands of miles of logging roads. Real fun to go out for a day and never hit pavement, see some bear and moose... I want to pick up a truck bed camper and spend some nights out there. I won't do it in a tent anymore!

[@kevinbarry71]

Very nice; but you sure had to take it a long distance to get it worked on

[@andefina5676]

Two points, first I counted 4 repairs, Brake pads on all wheels, center dash speaker, supercharger belt, and rear battery, not 3 as video tittle says. Not to mention the removel of shielding from under the engine means extra work being done there. Second, beware of NYC second hand vehicles, this is because of rock salt used by the city when snow is threated. It used to be they would salt only when snow hit the ground, now the city salts when there is a threat of snow. This means that any vehicle used in NYC has or will have a rust problem.

[@micro7vista]

I've never owned a Range or Land Rover but I've had a few Jaguars at this point and in my experience they are just fine in terms of reliability. But every time I bought one you could tell the previous owner just didn't do the recommended maintenance on them and I assume that's why they break on people cause the 1st owners don't do or care about the maintenance so it gets missed because I do the regular maintenance and nothing never had any issues on my Jags.

[@JetFire9]

Do yourself a favor and replace the coolant with waterless coolant, like Evans. Keeps the engine just as cool, but zero pressure. The pressure cap on these is 20psi, which means there is 20PSI working to break the plastic coolant pipes open and push through the water pump seals. Waterless coolant will save you big money on these cars on water pumps and plastic pipe repairs, and maybe save the cost of a new engine, and never needs to be replaced.

[@solomonstello]

Interesting. I'll have to look into that.

Yes the Jaguar engines were built on separate lines within the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in South Wales… the plant also made some engines for Volvo. Sadly the plant has now gone… but Jaguar now produce new generation engines from a new factory at Wolverhampton in the English Midlands.

[@pabloportilla9295]

Not a Ford v8, it was built in a Ford plant along with many ecoboost engines however, many of its castings have “FOMOCO” casted into them. There are several differences between a coyote/vodoo v8 and the 5.0 Jaguar/Land Rover developed v8. Kind of silly thing lots of people assume. Oh and an fyi, the coyote v8 is an evolution from the aj133 Jaguar v8 4.0, one of the best engines Jaguar ever built.

[@darylkik6204]

Wow, for a 2015 that thing is so clean on the underside. I had a Older Range Rover when I lived in Las Vegas and it had the HSE 4.6 engine and not only was it a great family car on those canyon roads it pulled a small flatbed trailer like it was nothing. Very Few Issues with that Car.

These are fantastic vehicles, and they are also shockingly easy to maintain. Oil changes are among the easiest I've ever seen - the filter is right on top of the engine, and it takes less than 20 min using an oil extractor. 2014 - up Rover Sports are also very reliable - not on a level with a Land Cruiser or a Honda Pilot, but better than BMW and Audi and pretty much on par with most domestic SUVs. The key with these vehicles is that you have to USE them - Take it off road, tow with it, etc. and you won't be disappointed.if you are buying it for the brand name or as a mall crawler, look elsewhere. And avoid the 2009-2013 5.0 V8 LR4s and RRS like the plague.

[@matthewhaddon599]

I owned the previous model diesel, but sadly sold it due to running costs, tax and insurance are expensive in the UK, but it was a very nice drive. Mine also needed some maintenance which was difficult to do myself so would have been pricey.

[@AndyK.1]

It’s not a Bentley. You don’t need to put it into access mode to lift it.

[@matthewhaddon599]

No the suspension should stay up. I worked on mine quite often as the compressor was a bit duff….never bothered with locking the suspension.

[@plasmaDave]

Yes access mode is to help you get in and out, not to lift it.

[@lincoln6981]

Should've checked the rear manifold coolant pipe. Like the crossover pipes they are crappy plastic and always split and the seams. Plus you don't need to put it in access mode. That just lowers the ride height for easier access through lower clearance places

The cars are never in "accessory mode" when Mrs. Wizard does the interior bit. Battery light, engine management light, etc, only come on when the ignition is on. "Accessory mode" and "ignition on" are different things.

[@AutomotiveEvangelist]

I own a 2017 in the UK. It's got the 3 Liter twin turbo diesel, which is also a Ford Engine (and also found in Jaguars, Citroens, etc.) It's not been bad at all. A couple of common failure items on that engine (especially the throttle body, which always fails and causes DPF blockage.) Insurance is hugely expensive because criminals reign free in the UK, and these are often the target of thieves. It gets 33-38 mpg, makes more than enough power and is a pleasure to drive here and over in Europe. When we take car trips my kids put up a fuss if we say we're taking my wife's Audi; they always want to take the Range Rover.

[@agrippa1234]

It also has one sweet (and remote) radar detector system

[@hellkitty1014]

Not quite related to the Coyote, Wizard. It is a JLR Group V8. The early ones were very problematic with brittle timing chain guides that allowed the chain to slack, and in many cases, the engines would jump timing and be destroyed. That issues was later remedied though. Not very many issues after that with the engine itself. Suspension and electrical issues were still somewhat common, however.

[@fredbrackely]

The AJ133 JLR engine, build in Dagenham, right? Well, the problem with whatever JLR tell you is this 1. There is not JLR engine plant in Dagenham, it's a Ford engine plant; my dad used to work there. 2. If you take one of these apart, like I've done quite a bit, you'll find FoMoCo (Ford Motor Company) stamped all over it. Ford take their engine (Coyote derivative) and tart it up with some JLR plastics, and JLR claim it as theirs.

[@oldfordman68]

No leaks? I see the exhaust leaking. Both connections were wet! That is not supposed to be like that! Check the vid on 8.31 to 8.39 and a aux battery, a belt and a speaker is not that expensive you say? Not 10 or 12k less then half of that! So like 4k? Anything above live 7 or 800$ is very expensive in my opinion...guess his boats and houses are expensive to maintain...

[@Drtbiker88]

I've had good luck in my Mercedes, getting a Yuasa (well known battery brand with power sports)with the same specs as the Mercedes one for $20-30 cheaper if the Mercedes branded one can't be found. Worth looking up the voltage and amperage! Did that in several Mercedes so far

Rover bought the blueprints and the manufacturing equipment for the all-aluminium 3.5L V8 from GM and kept making the engine (as large as 4.6L) until not so long ago. FUN FACT: before selling the 3.5L V8 machinery to Rover, Oldsmobile turbocharged that Buick engine and offered it in the F-85 Jetfire coupe, one of US's first turbocharged engines, along with the T-2.7L H-6 (yes, a Boxer) offered in the same year in the Chevy Corvair Monza coupe.

[@dmorga1]

@CarWizard I'm curious what you think about replacing the rotors. It seems with almost any modern car these days, everybody wants to just replace the rotors as a matter of fact. On cheaper cars, it seems if there's any runout, there's not enough material to resurface the rotor, so every pad job becomes a pads+rotors job. But on a heavier car like that one with driller and grooved rotors, I'm curious if 1) you just leave it be if they seem thick and unwarped, or 2) if you measure runout and offer the customer the option to roll the dice or replace, 3) can you resurface them?? I'm guessing on this heavy a high performance vehicle, this is probably its second set of pads.

[@crazyfroggie6546]

15 to 20k to wear out a set of pads, less if the owner drives enthusiastically. And this one being the 5 litre, he probably enjoys hoofing it around. There's a lot of weight to stop after all. But I remember that Rangies have a thing of the brakes squealing first thing in the morning. Nothing wrong with the brakes, just a light layer of oxidation from being parked overnight, but the LR warranty makes dealerships strip and re chamfer the pads every time.

I thought that jlr 5.0l were Ford coyote motors as well until I saw the channel I do cars tear down a jag 5.0l And compared it to the Coyote 5.0l he tore down. Totally different motors. I don't think they share a single component.😮

Generally what cars are better? European or American built cars? Here in the UK there's quite a negative view of American made cars, including Tesla due to their build quality.

My heart tells me one day I want to buy a range rover, but my head keeps telling me no!

[@kevinshaw8319]

Mr CarWizard which diagnosis scanner would you recommend for a 2018 Range Rover? I see you have many tools identified on your Amazon affiliate page.

[@TerribleFire]

Range Rovers are SOOOO good. They're worth it.

[@zubeyirkaranfil3912]

In Europe 85% Of the Range Rover’s are diesel (to expensive gas prices)version very very creepy cars breaking chains and crankshaft under 100,000 km. And when you have to change a turbo you need to takeoff the cabin from the chassis… The older models Head BMW engines after that Ford engines they make now Range Rover engines diesel version…

[@robertparker6349]

I checked , and saw where Ford sold Range Rover/Jaguar etc. in 2008 !! Why would it have a Ford engine in the 2014 model?

[@nukers1234]

If it is an expensive car, the bill is also usually expensive. And if you can't afford the expensive bill, you probably should find a cheaper car

[@leagueofshadows5133]

Hey car wizard big fan here! I'm just wondering wassup with that isuzu trooper in the back that it's been on many videos lately. I know that you did a video about a month ago but what has been the progress for the trooper.

[@Pooya.Koohbanani]

Hello Mr. Wizard, Do you know up to what model year they kept using Ford's engines on Range Rover Sport?

[@McT740052]

Not a COYOTE engine

[@tonygarlingewarren7456]

dusty, these things should be really muddy and covered in dirt. range rovers are built to climb mountains, driver through swamps, navigate deserts. and they do it in big leather arm chairs with nice Aircon and a soft ride... amazing things...

[@markrichardson3566]

You people are wizards at making great videos ❤️🙂✌️

[@sirtokesalot47]

thats not a range rover. its a tripple priced ford escape

As of August 2012, most Land Rovers in production are powered by Ford engines.

[@inforobob]

No wood because it's not a Range Rover, it's a Sport. The Sport is on the LR4 chassis. At least it was in the series of Sport he is showing. It is a smaller and cheaper vehicle than the Range Rover. I have a 2019 Range Rover and traded in a 2008 for it. Both have real wood trim inside. I wish Land Rover would stop confusing the situation by calling smaller vehicles a Range Rover this and that. They are not. PS: Mine were/are the HSE trim level that I believe has been discontinued. I do not know if the older or current SE trim level has wood. HSE and above do.

[@stanleyharrris7671]

The one he showed is a 2014(L494), the 494 body was 2014-2022, and now there is the L461(23mY). It is a Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Range Rover is a sub-division of Land Rover which includes the Sport, the Evoque, the Velar, and the Range Rover, which is actually called the Vogue in Europe. Land Rover has the Discovery, the Discovery Sport, and the Defender. Sports from 2006-2013(US models) were based on the Lr3/lr4 chassis. The 2013(UK) 2014(US) sport has its own chassis. The Discovery shares a chassis with the Evoque. A sport can be spec'd with wood if desired. It also depends on the trim, a RRS SVR is going to cost more than a RR HSE.

[@inforobob]

@@stanleyharrris7671 Can you show me documentation on that? Range Rover has been a model of car manufactured by Land Rover. I have never seen anything denoting it as a division or separate group. And as I stated, some so called Range Rovers share the chassis of models sold as Land Rovers. Thanks for the Sport chassis clarification. The Discovery being a Land Rover and the Evoque being baged as a Range Rover.

[@urmomgoestocollege14]

I hated LR's until I bought one. It didnt take long to become addicted. Constant issues be damned. Nothing like them on the road or off the road.

Happy 4th. of July !!! Greetings from Chile.

[@joshuathompson7714]

Comes with the territory handing pricey maintenance bills , don’t buy a Range Rover if you can’t handle having to spend money. They feel great to drive every time mine costs me 3-5k to fix or keep up with maintenance I just get back in it after it’s sorted and forget about the bill😂 until the next time it’s due something or something breaks

[@billyrayvalentine5220]

The auxiliary battery concept is pretty cool. Is it dry, wet or gel type 🤔...just curious. Thanks!

[@falloutguy8878]

Happy independence Day Mr and Mrs wizard from me a Brit in the UK

[@chrisball8431]

Hey wizard just to let you know Mrs wizards Discovery Sport and that Range Rover Sport was built under Tata Motors not Ford since 2008

[@AZACKAL]

[@davidellefson4556]
