Our New Range Rover Sport SV Broke After 36 Hours Of Ownership!

Our new Range Rover Sport SV has done over 1000 miles now! So we are here to tell you about what experiences we have had with the car.
A massive shoutout to Land Rover Conwy and JLR themselves for the extremely good customer service, we couldn't have asked for a better service.
If you are thinking of buying the New Range Rover Sport SV then you are in for an absolute treat! Be excited!!!

I had a Land Rover Discovery Sport it cost me 37k. I had nothing but problems. I kept up with services and mot's, too. It ended up on the back of a recovery truck twice. It was also parked at Land Rover for 3 months, number 13 in line waiting for a part of what wasn't even in the country. I spent probably 6k on all the repairs that it needed. I had to buy myself a little run around car to get me to and from work. I ended up paying the balloon balance and sold it to bmw. I now have a Kia Sportage GTline 72 plate paid for in full after my Land Rover Discovery Sport. I never wanted another car on finance. I am very happy with my Kia Sportage GT line.

It’s been a year since I bought the car and the car is still not fixed. It has less than 1000 miles on it. JLR has been non-responsive to calls I made in the past and efforts to contact them on social media. I even tried to shame them with photos of the exhaust. And yet, no response. A new exhaust system was approved. The first arrived damaged. Still waiting on a new one. I am due to receive the 2024 SV RR Sport in May. What can I say. My confidence in LR is now quite low. 😢

JLR are truly awful, mine needed a simple DPF replacement. The car went into limp mode without notice back In November, it took two weeks to make an appointment at the service centre, and then I was told the car would take three months to fix as the parts arent in the country AND there was no ETA on the parts delivery. When I raised it with Land Rover in Stockport they could not car less........the cars are shocking, and the service from JLR is worse. Never again.

[@a.m.9357]

I had my new SV identical to yours for just 1 week before returning it yesterday. I saw this video before taking delivery so checked with the dealer that this issue had been resolved. Assured it was? Oil leaks all over my driveway after 1 day with clunking noises from the rear, sounds like I had the same problems as yours. A quick fix by LR solved the leaks but did not resolve the noisy and rough gear changes. Lost trust in the safety and reliability of this Edition One SV so decided to return it. LR should never have delivered these faulty vehicles after your report. Now happily back in my 5yr old SVR until hopefully the next edition has resolved all the issues. PS The dealer was super efficient and professional through all the issues - shoutout to them.

[@tro3y]

Sounds like they fixed the leaks rather than replace the transfer box, the box with no oil rips the box apart so if it was making noises it makes you think it’s still broken. Since the transfer box change I have had no issues, it’s now on 3k miles and drives like a sports car, it’s scary how this car performs. I have fingers crossed you get into one down the line as they are epic. And I am glad our video gave you the information you needed to diagnose it🙌🏻

After 15 years of Land Rover ownership and 217,000 miles experience, I can only say that my cars have been outstandingly good and the service I have had and still get from the Dealership has been perfect. To hear of the problems on this video is very disappointing but it sounds like they have had a batch of faulty parts…this should not happen and only fuels those who jump to attack JLR at every opportunity. So many regard owners as being “ mugs” or stupid fashion victims or idiots for buying them but the reality is that we are mostly thoughtful and reasoning people who would jump to another brand of the situation was really what you read from Facebook warriors. I have owned 74 cars…a new BMW needed a full engine rebuild at 1400 miles after the valve gear broke up….a JEEP Was a disaster from just one mile after collecting the car from the dealership and after two years of constant trouble and recoveries, I sold it as a non runner. Mercedes were perfect to drive but the Dealership experience was simply dreadful and involved trying to charge for work not needed and faults that didn’t exist. There is more but my point is that JLR has been the best over all experience and even in this film, they were fast to help and correct the problem. I know they are deeply upset about how things have gone…the theft problem was solved in 2022 but the old cars suffered as we know but no more than any other keyless entry car. I cannot change the mind of those who hate Land Rover but am still hoping to get a new RR Sport Autobiography very soon…I’m not too concerned about failings but do know it will be outstanding to drive as it does the job I need…as in the past 14 years. 🙂🙂🙂

So what was the final diagnosis?

[@robertbroadbent3038]

I’ll stick to my wonderful L322 - analogue buttons, and only an LCD screen for the clocks and entertainment system Why do car manufacturers always use these screens incorporating EVERY function. I had a similar issue, it was the transfer box.

[@MCorrigan]

Reliability aside. When it comes to 4x4s there is no better one to drive than a Range Rover. They really are in a class of their own.

[@DrivenPlus]

Completely agree 👍

[@tyquendo]

Bring that reliability from the side we need it

[@latorregolf]

except when it's sitting at the dealer getting fixed again.

[@MCorrigan]

@@latorregolf true.

[@DontTestMeAtall]

Landrover are so reactive it's unreal. They have been having these issues for so many years now and people have been complaining about reliability, yet they are doing nothing about it. It's the same with the insurance problems that happened in the UK recently where their security on the cars are nothing to write home about and so easy to steal. This affected insurance prices as insurance companies said enough is enough..we are not insuring these cars any longer and if we do, we will charge between £10,000 to £15,000 a year to insure. People started cancelling orders, people who owned cars started to sell for cheap and orders for cars started to reduce especially with how expensive their cars are at the moment. Guess what? They immediately started calling every customer to come and upgrade the security on their cars..even though this issues has existed for 15 years. Their cars are beautiful and exude luxury but useless for reliability. Their customer service is horrendous, their service partners are unprofessional, rude and useless Good looking cars, terrible company to me

[@riboid]

"A massive shoutout to Land Rover Conwy and JLR themselves for the extremely good customer service, we couldn't have asked for a better service." - why would you recommend one after this?

[@nopants3560]

36 hours , You were blessed

[@johngunning2123]

Why do people continue to buy these piles of crap! If someone gave me a brand new one for free, I'd trade it straightaway before it broke down.

[@fredbrackely]

More likely it wasn't a seal, most likely they didn't put enough or any oil in the transfer case. This would not be the first time LR have done this.

[@TheHtekce]

I’m in USA and ordered one about 8 months ago and should be receiving it next month. Do you think when I receive the car I should ask the dealer to make sure they check the issue you had or this issue was related to specifically only yours out of the 500 they produced as a first bach. BTW thank you for your reviews, love them. You guys are great.

[@DrivenPlus]

Hey! Glad to hear you have one on order 🙌 I wouldn’t worry about it JLR are aware of the issue and will capture it so you don’t have to worry about it. Thanks for the comment we have a lot of SV content coming up!

[@rvp589]

Personal opinion I would get the dealership to check and also if they've got a new transfer case in stock... because bet your bottom dollar this isn't an isolated case and as usual will not have the replacement parts... why do we use oil ? What happens if you use without oil.. Doesn't get much more basic than that...I bet if you ran your car without oil it would invalidate your garauntee.

[@arshbxl]

I also have one ordered but my delivery date is June. Where did you order from ?

[@Welsh_YETI]

We're are you in those mountain shots? Doesn't look like minera or over Llangollen

[@DrivenPlus]

These shots were in the Denbigh Moors. Same videos that’s in our review (video before this)

[@khkckhkc]

It's an epic machine, but the Indian bosses must get the English boys to up their reliability game. Reliability (the lack thereof) is just ridiculous.

[@Jason-ml3vs]

How is this company still in business?

[@isaac198428]

If that’s only 36 hrs after buying it, imagine a year or 4 later. After the warranty expires, it’s just a lawn ornament.

[@user-hp2ku8fi3e]

The new Range Rover ? Thumbs down from me so I wouldn’t buy it guys !
