Im a former Land Rover tech, I can tell you that those are the best rovers of that generation, the timing issues were usually solved during the warranty period they don’t have the common engine coolant outlet pipe failure or the rear coolant manifold failure which will take out the engine (these engines do not like overheating). The suspension stuff gets pricey if the hydraulic dynamic suspension or the air struts start to leak, and even then AB and lucky 8 have pretty much everything for them. I’ve done so many I literally can work on them blindfolded. Hoovie did steal this thing, good job buddy! Gooooood job!

I have a 2009 Rang Rover Sport (non supercharged) and it's been extremely reliable (160k miles). Only work I've had to do is replace the air suspension with Arnott air bags which was only $600 and took me 2 hours to do all four corners, all four brake rotors and pads which took about 10 minutes per side after taking the wheels off, and the front hood latch which was $18 and took 5 minutes since the alarm kept going off. Otherwise the car has been great, no check engine lights or other weird electrical gremlins. I guess sometimes you just get lucky with Range Rovers and sometimes they're money pits. I've also learned that dealers and independent mechanics wayyyy overcharge for work on these, most stuff is extremely simple and they charge for hours of labor on jobs that take no time at all. The air suspension was only 4 easily accessible nuts on each air bag and took less than 30 minutes to get them out and put a new one in. Local shop wanted $1600 to do the job that only took me 2 hours having never done it before.

[@Epotheros]

Is it the 4.2L? Those were significantly more reliable than the 5.0 that Hoovie has. The 2010-2011 5.0L had similar timing chain issues as the old 4.0Ls from 97-02. Still this motor is considered quite reliable even compared against other car brands. The drivetrain is one of the most reliable parts on this LR as long as those timing chain tensioners don't go out.

Hi Tyler, here are some surprises 😊 This Sport is actually based on the LR3. Chassis, suspension, etc are all the same. You will also find that this Sport is actually heavier than your newer, bigger, Range Rover. This one has a steel ladder chassis with a monocoque on top, while your other RR is a single aluminum monocoque. I think about 300kg difference. Clunking in suspension are 99% always the front lower or rear top suspension arms, the rubber bushings at chassis side are fluid filled and will leak out the fluid and start clunking. You can replace the bushings alone, but labor to get them in and out is more expensive than replacing the entire arm. Oh, and to keep your suspension compressor happy, replace the air dryer before it cloggs up. 99% of compressor failures are due to air dryer blocking air from getting into the compressor. Good luck! 😊

I'm on my 3rd Rover Sport. My first was a 2010 just like this. It had 98,000 miles on it. I didn't buy a warranty. I owned it for 3 years. During my ownership my only major issue was a dead battery in the 3rd year. I traded it for a 2014 V6 Rover Sport with 109,000 miles. No issues. I traded that for my current V8 Rover Sport. It had 98,000 miles when I got it. I'm just past 2 years owning it. I've onky had to replace the front cobtrol arms and all tge brakes. That's it. I love Rovers.

I bought a 2010 full size autobiography 6 months ago. Was listed at a great price by a private seller a town over. Bought it with 89,000 miles now its coming up on 100k already. Its been surprisingly been great! I have the full service history and the only repair its really needed was a water pump at 60k. I am selling it however because I don't want to dump money into it if problems start. It was an impulse buy and I had a great summer road tripping in it, cant complain about that!

I had a 2011 supercharged sport back in the Day, bought it new and drove it to 90k miles before I traded it for a f10 m5. It was actually a very reliable, quick and great all around suv. The only thing I had to do is replace an airbag for 500$ at about 70k miles, and an evap code was fixed by the dealer early on in my ownership- other than that it was problem free.

[@alembic1105]

That's because unlike everyone else who always comments on Range Rover videos, you're not a child and you've actually owned one, and you could afford it. So the complete opposite of almost everyone else who comments on every video featuring a Range Rover.

I still have my 2010 TDV8 Sport, had it for a number of years now. So far Its needed an alternator and those lower suspension arms plus roll (sway) bar bushes front and rear. Nothing else other than routine servicing and wear and tear items (tyres, brakepads and discs). 75k miles now.

[@bizjetfixr8352]

My brother bought a used, mid 90s Range Rover back in 1997-98, as his first car after getting his first "real" job out of college. Not long after he got it, the a/c quit working. Took a look at it for him. Has a freon leak...the rear a/c hard lines were routed across the top of the left rear wheel well, where any random piece of road trash could be thrown off the tire and knock a hole in it. Decided then and there that anyone stupid enough to put freon lines in the wheelwell probably had even more problems you couldnt see

[@rollorescue1582]

That's a pretty good price for the 2010 supercharged. That engine is somewhat better than previous ones. That one has always been on my list, but I do enjoy my 2004 Discovery 2 as well :).

Hoovie you are a genius!

She drives like a dream she's very reliable and I knew the chance and the risk that I was taking when I bought it But when I bought it I got an extended warranty so I'm pretty much covered for the big stuff stuff so I'm not that worried. She's just got over 52,000 miles now so she's pretty much the lowest mileage range rover sport for about 1000 miles around me. I wish you great luck with yours cause I love mine.

[@saratc660]

The previous owner of the Land Rover was a guy like hoovie who sorted everything

[@IanDunbar1]

Yeah, probably a good owner who kept it well maintained. Made the smart decision and sold it just as it was getting into the mileage range where the timing chain failures start.

[@clarkwilson3505]

The 'more' expensive Rangeys came with a factory supplied picnic basket in the back. So you had something to do while you are sitting on the side of the road, waiting for the tow truck to show up. That's what the rubber mat in the rear you got so excited about was for - because you didn't want to get your backside wet sitting on the grass, when it invariably broke down on the wettest day of the year. If there's no leaks on a Rangey, its because there's no fluid left in the reservoir... Even a good looking dog is still a dog, Hoovie. Doesn't matter whether its a pedigree or a mongrel. Give the interior a scratch - it's sure to smell of lemon.
