Best ranger rover sport related channel ever. Keep up and I wish this channel grows bigger as it has some really valuable content that you won't find anywhere else. I have a range rover sport and have learned a lot more about it here.

[@DrivenHard]

Appreciate the amazing words man. Doing what I can to share my experiences with all of you

[@AdrianKurian]

I agree what you said

[@brian11441]

Love this Chanel can’t wait to buy my new Range Rover, I will definitely be off roading!!

[@jimmysando99]

My starter used to hate water. Water would get into the solenoid, and after a day or 2 it would stick and not strike the points correctly. I pulled it out of the car and opened it up and dried it out completely. I cleaned everything with contact cleaner and when reassembling it, I used a high temp silicone sealant on all joints including the breather and have never had the issue again! You'll probably keep having to replace starters unless you waterproof yours!

[@jimmysando99]

Any good autoelec that deals with offroad vehicles should be able to seal it up for you, it's not a Range Rover exclusive issue, happens to all models in mud and deep water! My car is an L320 TDV8 RRS and the starter sits really low down at the back of the engine where it can engage the flywheel. Good luck with it mate.

[@DrivenHard]

Definitely going to look into this

[@AveGuy1]

He already said he would look into a local shop that can waterproof the starter. Did you watch the entire video before commenting?

[@jimmysando99]

@@AveGuy1 I can't remember. It was 2 years ago.

“You know that feeling when you floating?... hopefully you don’t know it... but if you know it... you know it”. 😅🤣😂. love IT!

[@DrivenHard]

Hahah 😎

[@shedlock2000]

Hey man, Just watching your video clips, I’m not sure that you’ve gone close to the 900mm in them. Additionally, the starter is already in a sealed housing - the breather hose is a pipe which exits higher than where the starter is located so the starter can get air and also be submerged (it’s mounted lower than 900mm); the breather is required so that air expansion can happen as the engine and starter motor heat up. I have a feeling that there may be something else going on. Go have a chat with Don at Rovalution - he may be able to have a closer look at JLR’s install (it may not be as good as they said it was; I mention this because I had three AC compressors fitted in 4 days in Van.)

[@DrivenHard]

Did you see the front view of the video, I think its on my IG or its a short here on the channel, the water goes to the bottom of the headlights, which is to my knowledge just over the the 900mm. The breather hose was knocked off and melted to an exhaust pipe, they said they see that happen due to water pressure pushing on it etc. I'll go and seek out Don for sure, its something I would like to know more about to try and prevent it from happening again.

Jajaja thanks

What is the best Land Rover Extended Warranty Company in USA? My local Land Rover is pushing First Automotive for MY 2020 Evoque. Car has 29K miles and the quoted Standard New Elite of $5,725 for 72 months 125,000 miles. I watched you video about branded LRJ warranty but there was no link and I can't seem to find that online

[@grahamp4384]

Ever thought about buying a boat for when you go off roading? 😄

[@DrivenHard]

Hahahahaha I am considering it 😅

[@voicevy3210]

awesome road trips dude . this angle is very good, please disable auto focus and a add Bluetooth mic for much better audio.

[@cschaad5]

When you bought your car did you get the maintenance plan or plan plus and an extended warranty? Love your adventures!

[@DrivenHard]

Canada doesn’t offer maintenance plans unfortunately. I bought the extended warranty just before my factory one expired

[@kmikeru]

I drive brand new UAZ Patriot and already had to replace an axle seal at 2500kms, just $15 in parts, under warranty of course. Hope this comment helps your channel grow.

[@DrivenHard]

Thank you bro!

[@theimmigrantrx]

Love your angle on testing the RR!

[@vincephan344]

Ever thought about stepping down to 20" wheels and get some 275/55/20 KO2s for it? Niche makes a 20x9 +35mm offset wheel that'll clear the front calipers. Niche Gamma i believe, im thinking of going to order a 2022 RRS V8 this week, current build time is around 4-5 months.

[@DrivenHard]

thought about it. I'll do that for my next one. For now I just wnat to see how far the stock set up will take me. Which trim did you order?

[@Davidg-wu5ur]

Have you had your steering wheel repaired yet, if so did the do it under warranty ?

[@DrivenHard]

Need to check another dealer. I don't think it's warranty since things like that are only covers first 1 year or 20k kms. It's kinda a wear and tear issue

[@dannelleabajar4703]

I’m pretty sure the wading depth for the l494 range rover sport is 850mm, it’e the l461 the new one that actually has 900mm of wading.

[@DrivenHard]

Nope. It’s been 900mm for range rovers for a while now. The SVR is a tiny bit lower though.

Only seen the thumb nail, 30 seconds into the video, but I'm going to give you a full on LIKE and comment on this to help you pay for it and I don't even know the figure yet 😂 Edit: I'm sorry I can't hit LIKE twice 😳 My last repair bill for my RR were £2,800 haha

[@DrivenHard]

Hahahaha appreciate it bro!!

[@ASMRaphael]

Fantastic video! :) well done my friend! :)

[@DrivenHard]

Thanks man

[@AdrianKurian]

Liked this camera angle a lot

[@DrivenHard]

Thanks man

[@deangietzmann5634]

Instal a small low psi air pump on the starter breather to pressurise the starter

[@DrivenHard]

That's a solid idea

[@ashtonmarrero7932]

What is the point of having a Rover and if you cannot use it for its intended use with added crazy repairs - this is not cost-effective and efficient. This video killed it for me...

[@DrivenHard]

Its max wadding depth is 900mm, I went closer to 1200mm -1400mm. It performed exactly like it should, I was the one who pushed it beyond its limits. The same goes for absolutely every other car out there.

[@suhasaify]

It’s a dam Shiit car good for noting waste of money - I spend almost 2000 dollars ever two months

[@DrivenHard]

@suhasaify you should have got a warrenty

[@AdrianKurian]

So know I now why. 🤣 actually this made everything clear. 😂.

[@DrivenHard]

Good to hear

[@AdrianKurian]

Driven Hard haha Also please ignore my typo. It should’ve been "So now I know why."

[@freddygarrett]

You buy the parts and have some there install it for you

[@rayray9620]

Buy a toyota 4runner. 12 Minutes to tell us they charged you $1800 for a starter?? That's insane! No rover for me.

[@F06M6]

Mate that's not normal. I haven't had a single starter fail in my 5.0 L322 or L405, I haven't taken my L494 sport through any water crossings but I've well reached the 900mm wading depth and no problems.

[@DrivenHard]

Reaching 900mm is fine. Going well beyond it is where the starter will become an issue. That's what I did on both accounts

[@F06M6]

@@DrivenHard In all of the videos I havent seen you reach the hood line, I've done so a few times. Thats a proper nightmare mate!

[@DrivenHard]

Watch the one with the jeep and the one in Mexico where I get stuck in the waterfall water spot. Those are the 2 that kill the starter.

[@1994Celica]

I can hook you up with a 1994 Celica on Craiglist brother. 400,000 miles on stock parts only $39,000 CND (or $47 for my US readers)

First warning Charging system fault Low battery - suspension…. Yes it then stopped …

[@DrivenHard]

Sounds like a battery issue. Did you get it solved?

[@dirkdesouza5975]

Dude How many "Driven Hard" miles do you have on this thing? Is it not a '20 MY?

[@DrivenHard]

70k kms, got it May 2019 🤪

[@dirkdesouza5975]

@@DrivenHard Wow you're almost out of the factory warranty. Did you get the extended warranty?

[@DrivenHard]

Ya. I've looked into it. Its 5k to extend it to 120k kms which is what I think I'll have the truck till and it covers all the suspension components that I am concerned about mostly.

[@karankaler8777]

Ever thought about buying a Porsche Cayenne?

[@DrivenHard]

Yes. My only issue with it is hoe the front end looks. I just don't love enough to spend the money. As well as the fact it's really on on road SUV so I won't be able to have fun off road with it compared to the range rover

[@DrLu-uf2cb]

A bill for less 2k is not too bad. You probably got charged much higher if it was a similar issue for bmw x5

[@DrivenHard]

That's true. I wasn't all that upset to be honest
