Looking back through it's MOT history things seem remarkable clean. No different than some Hondas I've had. It's once a car is past 130k that bills seem to rack up.

Not with Toyota, Honda and Mazda from my experience. They can easily survive several hundred thousand miles, if they are looked after, and hardly require any major repairs. In the UK, they are likely to die from rust first, before anything major goes wrong with the engine or transmission. This can be avoided also, by adding some rust proofing underneath and checking on it every couple of years.

[@Yanmak13]

Hi Matt. I had my 2 EGR valves replaced on my Discovery 3 TDV6 (same engine) recently here in Switzerland and the 600GBP quote you received for each valve is way too much. An original LR one shoud be around 300 GBP, VAT included, and you can get for half that price an OEM spec Valeo branded EGR with all seals included. Check LR Direct, Rimmer Bros, LR Parts or Advanced Factors. (All UK based retailers)

There is a reason Range Rovers depreciate badly, and this video sums it all up. Beautifully designed vehicle, delight to drive, well appointed inside and out, let down by ridiculously over priced below average quality parts. These vehicles seem to get to a certain age and mileage where the faults and failures overwhelm most people, even if you think you are keeping on top of it the next eye watering bill will quickly be around the corner. When you read out the receipts the story unfolded, the owner got to the end of their patience with constant high cost repairs that they likely punched the infotainment display or threw something at it then abandined the money pit. Land Rover are doing themselves no favours, these vehicles are seen as worthless junk after a certain age as they are just not built to last with over priced parts and complex time consuming repairs, this is why they depreciate like a lead weight after a certain age and mileage, nobody wants them. It's a shame, lovely vehicles to drive, sit in and look at but not salvageable due to depreciation and cost of repair. Break it or scrap it, it may be a cheap fix but whoever buys it off you will hate you forever when the suspension airbags go or the ECU's fry. Lexus do not have these issues, but I would say BMW and Audi SUVs are just as expensive to maintain.

[@jamesonslow]

[15:00] Why gutless until 3k rpm? My optimistic guess... I suspect turbo actuator or stuck VNT. Vanes stuck in high rpm mode. This would show up as underboost on diagnostic, but probably wouldn't throw a check engine light. Over-fuelling at low rpm, so smoke when the turbo finally spools up. Best case: just the electronic actuator/connection/wiring, worst case: turbo refurb. You can probably then map out the EGRs if they're still an issue.

[@LetsGoSomewhereFun]

Try to sell it to a used parts supplier for as much as you can get, which hopefully might be close to what you paid for it. If it’s less, I think it’s worth the loss versus the time, worry, and money to get it sellable. Just my opinion.

I would go for an EGR delete kit (£20-£30 off eBay/LRParts etc) and try it, worst case you’re doing the valves anyway but best case, and in my case, it not only solved it, but was 💯 more responsive than ever before, passes the MOT, no fault codes thrown up and is MUCH more fuel efficient 34MPG on a motorway run! I fitted them myself, 40 min job start to finish. Great vid 👍🏼

[@L0B0GEE]

[@justinsymonds8470]

I’d get rid… too much cost and as you say not a guaranteed fix. But I picked up one of these for myself as a week end car in November (wanted one from the day I first saw it in real life). It’s was no where near as bad as this but I had awful lag then it would just shoot forward. I scanned it and got an egr code also, Problem was fixed and code gone for me by using ‘wynns egr valve cleaner spray’ (cleans turbo system also) and I only use esso premium diesel which has a high amount of cleaning additives. I’ve just had a full service today and the car does have some flaws (seized Caliper bleed screws oil on gearbox transfer case) BUT it drives like a dream. Very responsive and smooth. Maybe try the spray… it costs £12 and worst case scenario nothing will change. Best case it becomes drivable again, just follow the instructions exactly as it says on the website, the reviews are hit and miss I suspect the people that it didn’t work for didn’t follow the instructions properly.

[@54scottie]

Personally Matt I would sell it for spares and parts and at least that way you’ve hopefully covered your outlays. You might even get more for it. If you try and repair it given what you already know and with what ultimately may also be thrown up - there’s the screen too - it could become a serious money pit.

Hi Matt. Very entertaining video and I'm sure that the video where you attempt to fix this Range Rover will be even more so. You will no doubt score even more hits and subscribers. However, if it's purely about making a profit on this car then you know in your heart that after the initial £1,200, there will always be other issues which may cost you another £1,500. Even in the unlikely event that you get off lightly, you have another £1,000-£2,000 worth of odds and ends to fix like the tyres, seat, cracked media screen etc. You could easily spend £4-5,000 on this and it will still have issues.

[@LogicalDesigner]

Thats only an EGR fault, if it was turbo it wouldn't spool at all, unwanted EGR flow chokes the engine until the turbo spools and pushes the fresh air past the EGR inlets on the manifold. Get it to a garage who actually know that engine, they take 3 hours to change both EGRs, that includes 2 coffee breaks. It's a shame you're so far away from me else I'd happily help you out with it. Unfortunately garages just want service work nowadays and not the more complex break your wrists work, of which the 2.7 EGR's are a bit of a nightmare if you don't know what you're doing. If it was my own, I'd be putting two EGR's on it purely for peace of mind as ones already sticking and throw it out the door, there's plenty of history with it to back that it's been a well loved truck prior to the EGR sticking. Happy New Year to you.

Get the EGR mapped out mate. I have a S-Type with the same engine and EGR issues

[@nigelk780]

Bin it. I drove an identical low miles one years ago and thought it rattled along with not even a decent ride - dont get the admiration. Get most of your grand back before its too late.

[@THECONTROVERSIALCYCLIST]

A bit disappointing to see that this up for £3k as spare & repair on ebay and you brought for £1k. From advert sounds like you have not done the work needed and taking in consideration the clicks and advert revenue you will get from youtube it seems a bit like a current trend for the new year. Buy a banger make a video and do no work to the car, sell the car for more and youtube money comes rolling in as well. Very good plan for 2024 your accountant will be even more happy😂👍👍

[@towie2079]

Do what most dealers do and sell it as P/X bargain, still make enough to cover your time, or alternatively break it and use the squeaky chair at your desk in your office.

[@megapangolin1093]

Another cracking video, Matt. I always call Range Rovers, "Triggers brooms", because everything gets replaced so often that there is never anything of the original car left after a few years. Dead easy choice, break it, don't sell it and then have a customer bring it back 100 times in the first week and badmouths you for the rest of its, his and your life.

[@babaruzinunuk5960]

EGR is mainly mechanical thing. We in Serbia are cleaning them. They clog during time. Remove it, clean, and return... if valve is working.

[@DougStarr-zv5zj]

Mat, you already know what to do, Its a parts car full stop.

[@davidfairley2482]

Fit cheap egr blanking kit or use old coins / piece of metal both sides , does not bring dash lights on , check turbo actuator and lubricate it through access panel in passenger side wheel arch , use old metal coat hanger , I’ve done a few 2.7 same symptoms worked a treat , diy job for a lot of people Matt good luck

[@garyAllwright]

Hi mat blank them off £30 quid and a hours work done mine 2 years ago no problems no engine light and still passed mot cheers Gary

[@stevensarson482]

I’d nip across the road to the Etherow Cafe for a strong cup of tea. Spin a coin and see which way it falls. There’s always remote control boating if you get tired of Range Rovers and there’s usually the odd crust to be had from the duck feeders. Hope that helps!

[@SteveM-ly7oy]

Beautiful comment about forums! You nailed most people in the UK on the head. I never read them. There are so many ahem wise people who know more than me, apparently. You know the sort... "ooh sharp intake of breath, you don't wanna do that mate".

[@ashpal-1]

hi matt great video as usual i had sport hse 2012 model got rid was load of junk more in garage than at my place. was useless around buxton .range rovers are now a no no for me.have a great week

[@Matthew-m6c2p]

Get the range rover sport fixed completely and then it would be worth more money mat at Aston Barclay car auctions why don't you go to some of the car auction centres and buy a decent range rover sport with no repairs you would be in heaven l was when l bidded for a range rover sport and it past its not and inspections with flying colours nothing came back but wow wow wow from my mechanic

[@nolanstaveley-haynes2129]

Matt honestly you know enough people in various trades to easily put this back on the road for not a lot of money. Trust me someone will buy it off you, mileage doesn't really mean anything these days imo. I've watched you from the early days and you'll kick yourself if you don't even attempt to sort it. All the best for the year

[@cesardinismarques9391]

I bought two egr valves of eBay for £150.. and changed them myself... 6hours...it has been a year since... No problem... Still have the blanking kit in the draw...

[@davidharrison6083]

Fix it Matt! I wouldn’t do that though. But you are Matt of high peak autos fame. You fix things and we tune in to find it highly entertaining!!

[@cloondaver6202]

Fix it with used parts, turn it into a kick ass overland / expedition vehicle, light bars, winch, awning, roof tent, all terrain tyres, make a explorer vid, throw in a breakdown somewhere remote on a mountain happy days!

[@stuartthespark]

It's already on your website for £3000, spares and repairs.

[@saddoncarrs6963]

Wow, Matt, £1000 for a Range Rover that's broken down. That's a real bargain right there! Some people pay over 100K for Range Rovers that break down.

[@Silver-st2zq]

😂

[@tombishop638]

Try an EGR blanking kit (£10) and because it’s post 2007 you’ll need a map for EGR delete. Mine was 2005 so didn’t need the map. Worked a treat. If it’s not that, perhaps get rid, if it is, you’re quids in!

[@brianwhittington5086]

The symptoms sound more like a sticking EGR valve, Matt, and possible leak, somewhere on the boost hoses. The EGR valves can often be cleaned out and work perfectly at a fraction of the cost. Any old school Mechanic or Engineer would take it apart and repair it, or maybe fit a used part if it's unserviceable. Today, many Mechanics are Fitters, they dont diagnose symptoms, they just go for the easy option of replacing with a new part. You really need to be using someone more sympathetic, and experienced towards repair when you have a vehicle on the balance of being economical to fix.

[@brentfairlie9159]

Scrap it Matt. Simple and easy solution

[@MrMfaust5]

Hello Matt, either listed back for the amount your in for, or if you're not in a hurry, get your DYI mechanic friend to sell it as parts for you.

[@stephenrowlands843]

If a scan shows EGR, it does not mean that that is where the fault is. A bit of diagnosis and testing will narrow it down easily.

[@fernandoroldan2288]

Change the fuel filter blank the EGR change the fuel pressure sensors add some forte Injectors cleaner that is about/ £500 it should work then if doesn’t just break it in to a parts car

[@danielbirch9590]

I think I'd just break it for parts, you'll get your money back, it just won't be a fast return

[@reececollison5101]

You’re so right about those forums. I looked at one before I bought my VW Polo, you can imagine what was being said. Thankfully I ignored them and I’ve got no regrets 😂

[@cookingwithdad1970]

We had a 2009 Sport for a couple years and loved it. Only sold it because we got an L322.

[@overlandjourno]

Make it a project car Matt. Fix everything, give it a proper valet and polish and hold onto it till someone comes along to help you break even hopefully this year.

[@robblack7560]

Easy to "blank-off" the EGR and check but wouldn't matter, just part it out, even if you do sell it repaired, it will be a boomerang car with the new owner and yourself.

[@1chish]

Just read some comments and the instant Answer Mechanics are suggesting deleting the EGR valves. 'Cos its cheap'. Well the EGR Valves should NOT be removed on vehicles that still have the DPF Filter in place, doing so may block the DPF as the EGR Valve operation is a prerequisite for DPF Regeneration. Legalities. Also in the UK it is illegal to remove any of the original emissions equipment fitted to a vehicle from the factory. Vehicles with the DPF or EGR removed will fail an MOT.

[@tuningemporium]

Get your staff to use car vertical before they take the park ex in 😂 Blank egr’s and fit new turbo 👍

[@hankscorpio6924]

The car seems pretty legit, I say fix it count your losses and try sell it, it's cheap n flashy so plenty of potential buyers out there and keep it for off road fun on weekends.

[@philryan7254]

Good afternoon Matt I really enjoyed this video and I tell you for why. A mate of mine has just bought the identical car to what you've got the one he has bought has done 125000 miles and he paid 5 1/2 thousand pounds for it lucky for him it came with new brakes pads and discs and 4 brand new tyres. But he's still had to spend £1,000 on it for replacement of a drive shaft bearing. So just maybe it might be worth the gamble to fix your one because he's always someone out there willing to buy anything....cheers Phil from Newark

[@WranglermanLevi]

A car that clean deserves to stay in service, it would make a nice car for a youngster or someone on a budget. I get that its hard when you look at it from the profit perspective. You probably aint gonna get rich off of it but those of us who love and appreciate Land Rovers understand. The right person is willing to pay a little more for a real clean and sorted out rover. I know I have before.

[@alantheskinhead]

It's just not me who can't stand car forums or clubs. They tend to be full of smart Alecs, Nerds, busy bodies and people think who always seem to think they know what they are on about. Worst ones are classic car ones, Citroen one's in particular. You're right. Stay clear of forums. I had it all the time over my various classic Citroen CX's and Dyanes.

[@vlota]

If you want to try a cheapo "will it or won't it fix it?" option, change the fuel filter. My van was giving an injectors error and showing similar symptoms --pedal no the metal and the revs struggling to get above idle.. All the doom-mongers on the forums were delighting in telling me how much it would cost to change the injectors and what a pig of a job it was. I swapped in a new fuel filter and took it for a thrash down the road in first gear. A couple of splutters and a cough and it was fine. And hasn't missed a beat in the two years since. Not saying that is the case with your Landy. But it's always the first thing I'd try, with these symptoms, before hacksawing the padlock off my wallet.
