I won a LEMON LAW Supercharged Range Rover from IAA for $2000!! How bad is it??

Just curious but what was the reason for the Lemon-Law buy back?? Was this something that was done years prior and that’s why the mileage is so high?

[@philipgrice1026]

I bought a 2006 RR SC off the lot at a 'dealer' that exhibited mostly electrical problems. The dealer stated they'd installed a 'new' battery but I soon realized it was new to the car, not actually new. It was also the wrong size being intended for a lower grade RR without all the luxury electrical stuff installed. I installed a new battery of the correct size, reset the error codes and most disappeared and did not come back. The others resulted from water getting in the Harmon Kardon and fancy fiber optic BMW video system. The sun roof drains had become clogged so excess rain would drain back into the area where all the electronics are installed in the rear quarters. I removed, dried and tested everything and the only bad component was the obsolete blue tooth Nokia(!) cell phone interface module which I bypassed as unnecessary anyway. I installed the OEM 'plastic mac' over the electronics before reinstalling it all back in place. Everything I care about works. I bought it for the air suspension and love the ride. 400bhp is nice too. Maaaaan I just love this car. Being able to diagnose and service the car turns a pig in a poke into an incomparably cheap luxury vehicle.

In a pinch and I know it's hot outside but you can kick heat on high.it will help cool it down somewhat

[@lukeyarasheski5510]

It's a steering column fault. Disconnect battery with key out and you either be able to turn once. Also the air suspension won't adjust with any door open. And do the breather valve on the passengers side valve cover for the smoking issue. Probably gonna have lean codes. Will need the intake elbow which isn't a lot of fun but much easier than on the sports. And the connector sleeve is definitely leaking at 220k in the trans.

@@matthewbraybrooke7670 No the BMW engine was not supercharged as far as I know. The 4.4L BMW V8 is a naturally aspirated 300 HP V8 found in the HSE trim but once stepped up to the supercharged engine then you're looking at a true Jaguar A-J, Ford supervised, 4.2L supercharged V8 (AJ34S) with an Eaton M112.5 roots style 1.9L supercharger. Its the same engine used in our Jaguar XF SV8 (Super V8 or Supercharged V8). That's why me and Matthew Devine are here since we're both in an XF enthusiast Facebook group. We actually use the intake duct from the RR Supercharged as an upgrade to our XF SV8 since the Ranger Rover's intake duct is bigger thus slamming more air than the standard XF SV8's intake duct.

@@munther1071 ok fair enough, 2006 was a cross over year for the engine from BMW to Jaguar.

I have an 08 RRS TDV6 with 330k km that still runs really well. The diesel has at least 3 coolant bleed screws to properly bleed the system. If the auto trans has not been serviced it will most likely need to be reconditioned or at least need a new torque converter and valve body reco. Can't tell if it was actually slipping or just flaring during shifts. If it's just flaring, fixing the valve body will sort that out. I would do a double fluid flush to start with to give you a baseline as to where you're at. They are great cars but don't tolerate second rate mechanics.

[@jesterr7133]

The reason that it had coolant in the overflow tank after you drove it is due to the pressure buildup within the engine. A nearly overheated engine builds up a ton of pressure. The pressure buildup caused the little coolant that you had to back up into the overflow tank. The overflow tank is designed to give any excess coolant somewhere to go when the system is under pressure. When an engine is overheated, it will build up so much pressure that it will push any coolant you have into the overflow tank until it runs out of room.

[@michaelwiencek9250]

The temp, in combo with loss of coolant is most certainly the coolant T PIPE. its a very common failure point on these motors. The 4.2 and 4.4 AJ motors are regarded as being on par with Honda in terms of reliability. This isn't the first time someone thought it was a HG issue and it turned out to be the thermostat and coolant hoses and the T pipe. They split and lose coolant and let air in which leads to over heating. That or an improper bleeding procedure. I've owned a couple from the 06-09 years and I know plenty of people with over 300k miles on them, a HG failure is extremely rare for these. If it happens at all. Also, the idle fluctuation is DEFINITELY the PCV VALVE. GET THAT REPAIRED ASAP or you will risk grenadine the engine.

[@darkwing4475]

You can't drive with the cap loose,,, The pressure keeps the coolant from boiling,,, when the water boils around the combustion chamber you have a good chance of warping a head or blowing a head gasket,, because there is less water touching the metal around the combustion chamber to conduct heat away,, :-)
