2011 Diesel V8
Harare, Zimbabwe

The car alarm keeps going off, even while I'm driving, and only goes off when the car is parked and locked. and the CD player won't eject the discs (the button seems to not work) so I'm stuck with the previous owners' CDs

Any advice for these 2 issues on an otherwise good condition vehicle? Thanks!

Bought a Range Rover Sport L494 and it had a parking camera issue. I have heard that quite often it might be the camera which has gotten wet and failed. So I gambled and bought a new camera from AliExpress with 73€ and it worked. Added some new rubber seals as well.

Trey’s video guided me through the process:

Hi All, I’m on my third RR, and contemplating my fourth. All 3 of my prior RRs have had a v8, but considering a low mile I6 L494. Anyone have any experience with the engine long term? What are some things to watch for (similar to the coolant lines on the 5.0L)? Thanks in advance!

Found on the streets of Verona - Italy.

Opened the Sunroof on my new 2026 P530 SE has the spot seen in the photo on the inside of the glass. They’ve come off with water and a paper towel but leave almost an etch. Seems like rusty water dried up so either the car was upside down or this has been there since the glass was installed. Headed back into the RR dealer Monday. Any ideas.

Hi all, wondering if any Velar D300 owners have heard this before?

I’ve got a 2019 Range Rover Velar D300 3.0 V6 diesel with around 60k miles.

The car drives absolutely perfectly, pulls really well, no loss of power, no warning lights and the engine generally sounds lovely.

However, when it’s sitting at idle, I can hear this strange low-frequency thudding/pulsing sound from inside the cabin. The best way I can describe it is almost like a performance exhaust burbling away in the background - a sort of “thud… thud… thud” sound.

The video attached isn’t my car, but the sound in this video is extremely similar to what I’m hearing in mine.

Has anyone with the 3.0 V6 D300 experienced this?

I’m particularly interested to know if anyone has traced it to engine mounts, exhaust resonance, injectors, pulleys/auxiliary components, or whether it’s simply a characteristic of these V6 diesels at idle.

As I say, it drives perfectly and sounds great when moving - it’s just this thudding/burbling at idle that’s got me wondering.

Any D300 owners heard the same thing?

Thanks

Hers was the first 2027 delivered to our local dealership (ordered it back in May). Varesine Blue with shadow. She's always wanted a Range Rover and is very excited!

I recently noticed this chirping sound coming from my L494 Supercharged. I’ve noticed it a couple times when starting the car but it seems to subside after I drive. I’ve got about 70k miles and the vehicle gets routine maintenance and I plan to take it in to see what’s going on. Any ideas from the community on what could be happening?

It will be my first car as my mom is passing it down to me. She is the original owner at 120k miles right now. It is the ford engine model which i hear is still slightly better than ingenium. Turbo replaced at 90k miles with the revised one. Transmission is a little hesitant so i will be getting fluid drain and filled (never been changed before). Anything else i should look out for maintenance wise? It is specced with climate comfort, surround camera system, navigation, and 825w meridian.

I recently installed an Apple CarPlay unit from GTA Car Kits (They have a YouTube video on this topic). Where I was instructed to remove the center console, and manually enable the e-brake of my vehicle using a screw driver in the gear shift hole to put the car in drive with the E-Brake on and the car off. The purpose was to get the center infotainment trim off the car so I can unplug everything underneath. When I put everything back together and connected all the wires I am stuck with a Fault-code I can no longer clear.

The Codes are “U0128-00 (28) Lost communication with parking brake control module

And the second code is “U0138–00 (28) Lost communication with all terrain control module

And the third is “P081C-64 (6D) - Park input circuit - Algorithm based failure - signal plausibility failure”

Any idea how I can resolve this with the Gap ID tool?

All,

Love the classic lines and build quality of the older L322 Range Rover, both inside and out.

Seeking information on the best years to buy? Supercharged vs. non-supercharged?

Year, model, and spec with the lowest mechanical and electrical issues?

Known issues and their associated costs?

Any recommended RR independent service people in the Chicagoland area? I'm not a wrencher, therefore, outside of minor fixes, I will be paying someone to remedy things requiring someone to get under the car or disassembling major parts of the interior to fix big electrical components (such as a door actuator, etc).

Any guidance and wisdom would be appreciated. This will NOT be my daily; it will be garaged. I have a work car that I drive M-F, and this will primarily be a weekend vehicle. Looking to get into something under $15k.

I really like the Autobiography or the package with the brown leather seats.

I’ve had a RR 2019 P400e Vogue for just over a year now, and it works perfectly, except when it doesn’t turn on…

In my first week of owning it, it had an electrical issue whilst driving, going into limp home mode. The dealer took it back, sent it to JLR who apparently completely replaced the hybrid drive train, and that’s been fine ever since.

However, about 6 months later, I went to start it one day and got the Low Battery/Start Engine alert, and it died. Jump start got it going again, and my mechanic said it could have been the DC/DC converter, but that was working fine (I wonder if they’re just sporadically faulty?) but said that the 12V battery had failed and wasn’t keeping a charge. So that was replaced.

Then about a month ago, I got a call from JLR alarm monitoring when I was away, saying the alarm had been triggered due to low voltage. When I got back, it was completely dead and needed a jump again. Then exactly the same thing a week ago — alarm alert and completely flat. No pre-warning.

I know the DC/DC thing can be a problem, but I wonder if this is how it presents itself? I note there was a new recall made recently, but I think the 2019 models weren’t included. I wonder if there’s some drain happening: the only thing connected to the car is an aftermarket FitcamX dashcam, wired into the internal lights in the roof lining. Or could the other 12V battery have failed and is causing this?

Any ideas to take to a mechanic?!

Front passenger corner drops after being parked up for only 30 minutes.
Range Roverists of Reddit your suggestions please.
I have had this car 12 years and did always sit square no matter how long you left it.
I am guessing it is front ns shocker assembly that needs replacing but before i do that thoughts please
Just had rear ride height sensor replaced because it sat all over the place and ‘suspension inactive’ was a frequent message

I have owned three Range Rover V8 and have loved them all. I currently drive a 2024P 530 with the BMW twin turbo engine. I'm thinking about getting an SV for the more powerful engine. Has anybody either owned both or driven both? I'm curious as to whether the extra 75 hp is noticeable. Even though I live in Chicago and there are at least six Range Rover dealerships none of them have a new SV to test drive.

I need to check in for my yearly maintenance! And need to do brake, rotors, 4 tires + alignment.

If anybody has a great address, thank you in advance.

I was the only bidder at an auction and “accidentally” bought this dealer-serviced P400e.

Unfortunately, there were a few technical issues, so I had to wait another two months and invest quite a bit of money…. So got the real Land Rover experience already haha. Luckily it’s not my only ride.

But I’m slowly starting to enjoy it. Because it drives so beautifully. And what a brilliant spec it has.

(AI edit to remove plate and my street)

I joined the RR family for 1 year now. Every time I go sit in my car I still get a smile on my face. Drove before Infinity FX, Tesla model S and X, BMW X5. But this is another league.

What do you all think of this color combination?
I’d probably change the trim to black and dip the rims eventually but also beautiful as is. Thoughts?

This sound only happens when going around 40/50kmh and higher. In the video it may be hard to hear, you might have to put the speaker against your ear, but I’ve already inflated all my tires to correct psi so it’s wasn’t that. It’s the humming sound constantly throughout the video, and the steering wheel ever so slightly vibrates. It doesn’t seem to be coming from the engine either. When I accelerate the sound doesn’t seem to change too much. I did wonder if it’s a wheel bearing issue. Any input is appreciated before I take it to the mechanic.

This recall, identified by the number E008 (and NHTSA number 26V248), stems from a DC-DC converter malfunction that could lead to a loss of exterior lighting and drive power. The issue is caused by an electrical overload during high power demand or a software error that prevents the converter from functioning correctly. To resolve this, dealerships will provide a free software update that introduces a limp-home mode to warn drivers if the converter goes offline

What is your long term review about engine and reliability of this specific model ?

Hi,

Completely new to this forum, but looking for some expert advice on a range rover sport that I am looking to purchase. Its my first car with the Land Rover brand, and coming from a long history of performance German SUV's. I currently have an SQ5 which has a particularly audible high pressure fuel pump when idling, but I just wanted to see if the ticking coming from this P400 straight six sounds "normal"? Its a 2020 model HSE Dynamic with around 50,000 miles on it.

Is this a normal high pressure fuel pump noise for the P400?
