Owner Review
Everyone has different tastes in SUVs. Someone raises the Land Cruiser to the skies, and someone does not see an alternative to Jeep. I am among those who have a positive attitude towards the Land Rover. I've had quite a few imported cars. Now I go to range rover Vog 2009 onwards And I don't need another car. After Kruzak, you sit down in the Range Rover - heaven and earth.
My Rover with a 3.6 diesel and 272 hp This makes it possible to feel confident on the track, and not only. 8.5 seconds to 100 km / h is a good option for such a heavy SUV. The motor runs very quietly.
About unpleasant. At 105 thousand km, the air suspension cushion slammed - I caught a serious hole, but stayed on the road. I can’t say that I drive carefully, I almost don’t slow down on speed bumps. Very rarely there are glitches in the cold diesel engine. It is treated - turned off and turned on the ignition. About the range rover reviews also solve this problem.
On the move, it's excellent. Moreover, on the gravel goes where nicer, even on the asphalt do not want to go. At first, I was surprised at the lack of switching the stiffness of this air suspension. But then it turned out that she was tuned to “comfort” under any conditions, and no “sport”. And I didn't really want to. Then it got maddening that the 2009 Range Rover's suspension wasn't able to lower automatically as speed increased and when the Parking puck was selected. My height is 172 cm and it looks like this: I parked, I collect clothes, phones around the cabin, while the turbine cools down, I turn off the engine, I go out - matz-matz with my foot, but there is no land. I forgot to lower the suspension, which means start it again ... Don't worry, the British are not us, they know how to draw conclusions and the Range Rover 4 already comes with this mode.
In management, do not expect a drive from him - handlebar light, almost does not fill with weight at speed. If you reach for something in the cabin at speed, you can lose course. But this is not annoying, as the driver must always look at the road.

So! Why RRS? Well, first of all, this is a super modern and progressive diesel V8 with two turbochargers with variable geometry, which ultimately gives as much as 640 N.m. already at 2000 rpm of the engine crankshaft. This is very captivating and attracts me as a lover of interesting and technological solutions. With all this power, the solarium consumption is only 13-15 liters in the city and 9 liters on the highway at a speed of 120 km per hour. Therefore, we drive well, and even save money :-) I don’t like banal “tractors” like Nissans and Mitsubishi Pajero, primarily because of vibrations and noise from a diesel engine. The RRS is quiet and there are no vibrations. I was surprised that even the pillows (supports) of the engine are electronically controlled by the brain of the car and exclude any vibration on the body! This decision is worthy of the 21st century! Now oh exhaust system! The sound of this monster is amazing with its power! One gets the feeling that the gasoline "eight" is accelerating. But it's a diesel! But this, of course, is from the outside, and there is complete silence in the cabin :-) Noise isolation for a solid five, but only engine compartment, but the noise of the wheel arches could be made stronger. Huge R20 tires bring the rest of the sound into the cabin. Pneumatic suspension. Well, this is a separate plus, which allows you to have two in one car! You can have 4 suspension heights! 1) the lowest for boarding and disembarking! And you can lower and raise the car from the key fob! 2) basic mode. About 185 mm clearance in the city and on the highway. Moreover, at speeds over 160 km per hour, the car lowers and improves handling. 3) Off-road mode. The suspension raises the body to a mark of 227 mm from the lowest point of the body. 4) Emergency. If the car in a rut sat on the ground with the bottom, then you can additionally increase the clearance by 7 cm and get out of problem area. Speed 5 km per hour. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Total: as much as 297 mm of ground clearance! Well damn, 30 cm ground clearance it's more super! See photos in the BZ. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Handout and blocking! The dispenser has two rows. Upper and lower. Two active differentials are blocked. Center and rear. In general, with such a set you can climb into quite difficult conditions off-road. The Terrain Response system is a marvel of the RRS in its own right. It has five driving modes. 1) Normal conditions 2) Grass-gravel-snow and ice 3) Dirt-ruts 4) Sand 5) Stones-slow speed It is also possible to ford with a depth of up to 700 mm. (I really think it’s possible even deeper if you first raise the car to a maximum of 30 cm of clearance) You don’t have to worry about steep slopes and lifts. That's what electronics are for. Controlled ascents and descents work when moving forward and backward :-) There is also a system dynamic stabilization. The car does not roll at all when cornering. This system can be turned off! For example off-road. Brakes! Everything is short and clear here. The base is Brembo with 360 mm discs and four-piston calipers. Additionally, the factory installed an emergency brake boost system, as well as a cornering brake assist system. _____________________________________________________ Well, about things like mobile phone with bluetooth, navigation and TV (analogue and digital channels), refrigerator, parking sensors in a circle and automatically lowering mirrors when driving in reverse I think there is no need to write here, since there is a lot of this in RRS, as in any modern car with a cost of 2.500.000-3.000.000 rubles Of course, there is also a Webasto heater. There are also heated seats for all seats, numerous front seat adjustments, auto-closing tailgate function (no need to slam), rear climate control, cruise control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, 55-watt Adaptive Bi-Xenon. Heated windows and side mirrors, as well as headlight washer nozzles and windshield. The hand brake deserves special attention :-) This is not a lever or a pedal, but it's just a button :-) I pulled this button and the car was on the handbrake. I pressed the gas pedal in DRIVE mode and the car itself was removed from the handbrake! Super! _________________________ ______________________ The RRS body, of course, is frame-shaped and additionally installed on it are sills to facilitate boarding and disembarking. They also installed the original mud flaps of the wheels. Thresholds do not underestimate the clearance at all due to their attachment above the frame level. I will describe the car in more detail in the logbooks. _______________________________________________________________ So! Powerful a car for city and highway excellent dynamics and with low fuel consumption. Powerful SUV for nature outings. Not tired? Thanks and good luck everyone!
Vehicle was purchased to replace TLC prado 120 2005 4.0l. Proezdil on it for more than 2 years and about 80t.km. It was the first SUV and he left a favorable impression. Instead, I wanted a fresher car with off-road performance And the best level finishes, equipment and comfort, since Pradik, to put it mildly, did not meet these criteria too well.
Auto searched for 3-5 year old options Vw touareg, Discovery, RRS and RR. The legends about the fragility of the Land Rovers were not too embarrassing: we live once and do not want to drive a car, just because it is considered less fragile than the rest. The fact that RR maintenance will be more expensive Prado understood initially. A well-maintained diesel car with a transparent history was chosen at a price slightly higher than the market average. diesel auto was not chosen by chance: lower fuel consumption was not decisive, just after examining many instances, I came to the conclusion that petrol cars were chosen initially with the intention of annealing. In this regard, cars with "gasoline" were offered completely ushatannye.
Got about a very convenient, versatile and comfortable car with much better interior and exterior trim than in the Prado. Pass where most cars will pass. During the period of operation did not cause any problems. The only contingency was a burst coolant supply pipe. Tow truck, replacement of the nozzle and into battle!
Maintenance not cheap car: about 100 thousand rubles are spent on maintenance per year. The main expenses are consumables and maintenance work and suspension repairs. The average maintenance for unofficials in a specialized service is 8-14t.r., includes changing the oil and filters in a circle. Wherein fuel filter changes over time. Weakness- bushings of stabilizer struts (it seems so) - I change almost every thing, as they begin to creak.
Rubber with regular size 275/40 r 20 almost immediately changed to yokogama parada 275/50 r20. It became much more comfortable and the rides to the tire fitting were sharply reduced, but it turned out to be too wide - in the fully inverted position, the fender liner slightly caught on the wheels. The set was enough for 45t.km. Installed this summer new kit nokian hakka 265/50 r20 - just fine! Much more comfortable than yokogama.
Departure by car for more than 2 years and it's time to change cars. I wanted to buy a 2-3 year old Range Rover in a new body, but firstly, it is very expensive (from 4 million 1-2 year old), and secondly, we steal too much. Decided to change to a lower auto-for variety. The budget is up to 2.5 million rubles. I considered all-wheel drive 1-3 year old audi a7, a8 (not long), bmw 5gt, bmw 7. I also watched jaguar xj, but he all-wheel drive went only from 2013 and used prices started from more than 3 million rubles.
After a couple of months of searching, test drives with dealers and comparisons, I was found purchased from a Jaguar xj awd dealer, 2013. 340hp gasoline with a compressor with a mileage of 19t.km. But that's another story that started just a couple of days ago.
And the RRS is up for sale. Although it is a pity to leave, but in the current unstable macroeconomic conditions, three cars in the family is too much.
Range Rover cars with a 3.6-liter engine have rightfully established themselves as quite reliable, unpretentious in maintenance and “fast” cars. Despite the fact that manufacturers claim that not a single car component requires repair and maintenance up to a mileage of 30-40 thousand kilometers, individual elements fuel system and engine may require earlier service.
After diagnosing a car at the LRservice technical center, you will know which structural element needs to be repaired or replaced.
When to change the fuel filter
Low quality fuel, sometimes found on gas stations in Russia, often leads to the need to replace the fuel filter on a Range Rover with a 3.6-liter engine after 20-25 thousand kilometers.
Symptoms that indicate the need to update the part are:
- Difficulty starting the car, even under normal weather conditions
- A sharp drop in acceleration dynamics: the car “does not drive”
- Dips and jerks when pressing the accelerator
- Noticeable increase in fuel consumption.
Changing the fuel filter yourself on a Range Rover car is a difficult and long business. Therefore, it would be a better decision to entrust this matter to professionals from LRservice, who will necessary repairs fast, inexpensive and guaranteed.
Timing chain replacement
One of vulnerabilities 3,6- liter engine 272 hp is the timing chain. Of course, it is more reliable than a belt, but over time it can also stretch and begin to rattle or rumble. In this case, replacing the timing chain on the Range Rover 3.6 is a mandatory procedure.
In order to avoid sad consequences for the engine, it is recommended to check the condition of the circuit every 80-85 thousand kilometers. Contact the LRservice technical center - our specialists will conduct full check engine condition at a convenient time for you.
To tune or not to tune
For improvement dynamic characteristics auto and engine optimization many Range owners Rover Sport 3.6 carry out chip tuning of their " iron horses". According to customer reviews technical center LRservice, such important indicator, how fuel consumption on a Range Rover with a 3.6-liter diesel engine after well-conducted chipping decreased by 1-2 l / 100 km, while engine power and throttle response increased.
This fact indicates that you should not be afraid of chip tuning: the most important parameters it is impossible to worsen a car engine by this procedure, but it is quite possible to improve it.
Turbine troubleshooting
Turbine on a Range Rover Sport equipment with a 3.6-liter engine is usually very reliable and runs without interruption and provided timely service 100-120 thousand km.
However, in the case of operation of this unit in extreme conditions, the service life is sharply reduced, and in some cases Range car Rover Sport with a 3.6 diesel needs a turbine replacement. Carry out this operation in garage conditions, in the absence of special tools and an assistant is almost impossible.
Specialists from the LRservice technical center will repair or replace the turbine promptly, efficiently and at a relatively low cost.
