I’ve been the proud owner of my 2010 3.6 Range Rover for the past 5 years and in that time it has never broken down. Then, during lockdown the car went into limp mode and I found I had to replace the left side EGR. I did both to be on the safe side.
Sadly, once fixed the Mechanic’s computer found one of the turbos had failed .
Being a belt and braces kind of guy I had both turbos replaced...I picked the car up and enjoyed 250 miles of full power with old girl running better than ever the car went into limp mode and repeated this every 250 miles or so and practically in the same place (about 3 miles from home)
Restarting the car cleared the limp mode and all is well again until 2 weeks ago when it wouldn’t clear.
Once again to the garage and the computer once again said “no” and demanded I replace an air flow sensor on the intake manifold (under the engine cowling).. That was an easy fix.....I did both just to be safe.
Sadly, the computer threw another tantrum and insisted I replace the air flow sensor attached to the air filter..I replaced both just to be safe. The mechanic said there was an underboost error so I changed both hoses from the intercooler. (Just to be safe) but I still have an engine that won’t run very well..
It’s a real shame as this has been an amazing vehicle but garages only read codes nowadays. Is there anyone out there who can help please. I’m not asking for free help and will gladly pay or donate to a charity of choice for help that fixes my much loved Range Rover.
Kind regards
Tim
