False.. I’m a VW/Audi mechanic, and FCP Euro gives a no questions asked lifetime guarantee on every product they sell, literally.. I personally know guys who’ve changed their oil, dumped it back in the new containers and sent it back to FCP and have gotten a full credit.. A scumbag move IMO, but FCP replaces anything whether it’s your fault or not.

[@Obsidian0Knight]

I had a company that manages my companies fleet tell the guy at the lubex that he can't change the oil in the dif for my work truck because the oil lasts the life time of the dif. Well duhh if you don't replace the oil, then of course the oil lasts the life time. My issue is that's gotta shorten that life time.

This Range Rover is super clean underneath; not even any minor oil leaks. If there are no surprises in the engine, it's going to be a home run. I plan to daily drive it, but for the flippers out there, I think there's $10,000 profit to be made after proper repairs!

[@Slider68]

I got a kick out of Sam saying timing chains are new and are replacing timing belts in modern engines... I clearly recall back in the late 1970's when the very first timing belts came out that no one believed a plastic/rubber belt could replace a metal chain or metal gears. Metal chains and/or gears had been used since cars were first invented. Belts were the new technology. The reason manufacturers started switching to belts back then is they don't require oil/lubricant, they are cheaper both to buy and to support (chains/gears need active oiling systems and enclosures, belts don't need either) and belts are also quieter. The downside to belts is over time they wear out so the car or truck owner needs to pay to have the belt changed, typically every 100,000 miles. Anyway, it turned out that timing belts worked pretty good and became standard on most engines. Other than the regular replacement maintenance they are very reliable and quiet so for many years chains stopped being used. Recently (past ~15 years), with variable valve timing systems that operate using oil pressure, chains have made a comeback since the oil leaking out of variable valve systems would destroy a belt in no time. Personally I've always preferred the old fashioned metal timing chain or metal timing gears...

Can you please how that happens really

[@troyfall6573]

They are just so poorly engineered. I was going to help my friend change his transmission fluid. Most cars you have a drain plug and it is straightforward. Not with Range Rover. You have to remove the entire transmission drain pan which can only be removed once you have removed the exhaust which blocks the removal. Then you have to throw away the drain pain because it has a built in filter which cost $120 just for the part. Imagine trying to remove the exhaust on a 10 year old car. That means broken bolts and perhaps having to cut it away. Somehow the engineers thought this was a great design. Huge money pit.

[@vegasmike]

@@troyfall6573 most European transmissions are that way. Second, you only have to use the fill plug and you can just pump out the old fluid. Its that simple.

I have more experience working on motorcycles, and have seen both chain problems you've mentioned. My Suzuki had the chains stretch. You could hear them slapping around when the engine was running.

Here in Britain, where the original Range Rover was invented, it became popular due to Princess Anne driving one...It's still regarded as a fashion accessory...The more astute amongst us still regard it as a Farm vehicle which goes straight on at the first bend in the road.... You're Welcome...lol.

I can't believe that with all that you have discovered and you are still hopeful for this car. You have a lot of enthusiasm and perseverance I give you that 😄 at least it's highly interesting and educative.

Sell, trade, flip or become you daily driver. Please do a video on collection!! I'm sure more people are just as interested.
