Land Rover Range Rover Problems
Pulsation On Brake Application
A pulsation may be noted upon brake application. This condition is commonly caused by warped brake rotors. Our technicians recommend inspecting both front and rear brake rotors when this condition occurs. Brake pads should be replaced along with any warped rotors to correct this condition.
Chirping Type Noise From Engine Area at Idle
A chirping type noise may be noted from the engine area, mostly at idle. This type of noise is generally caused by a faulty drive belt idler pulley. Our technicians tell us a revised pulley is available to correct this concern. Chirping Type Noise From Engine at Idle
Corrosion in the ABS Modulator Electrical Connector Due to Water Intrusion
In severe wet conditions, water may enter the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator electrical connector resulting in corrosion and illumination of the ABS warning light. Our technicians tell us revised modulator ground leads are available to better seal the connector. If corrosion is found in the electrical connector the connector will need to be repaired as necessary and the new ground leads installed.
A Rough or Unstable Idle Due to Intake Manifold Vacuum Leak
A rough or unstable idle may be noted due to an intake manifold vacuum leak. Our technicians tell us a revised intake manifold gasket, along with manifold bolt flat washers which will better distribute the clamping force are available to correct this concern.
Oil Leak From Front Crankshaft Seal
An oil leak may develop from the front crankshaft seal. Our technicians tell us a revised seal is available which should correct this concern.

Land Rover Range Rover Stories
This 4.2 liter LWB has been remarkably extremely reliable for over 140,000 miles. It has never left me stranded. Despite all the horror stories that one hears about Range Rovers. Considering how remarkable these cars are..its pretty straight forward pertaining to the engine and drive train. I would want no other 4x4 in the extremes
in remote Northern Arizona....
Vogue 4.4 petrol Model has been super until 80K miles and then the cooling system pipes, radiator and water pump and rad fill bottle all developed leaks and had to be replaced.
Front wheel bearing and suspension bushes and air compressor is the next range of issues and all should be replaced.
More regular engine oil and transmission oil changes required after 80K miles.
Battery charge and over charging is an annual affair but the choice of battery and rating is crucial to rectifying the problem.
A good buy for anyone who wants power, comfort and is prepared to spend dollars on regular maintenance.
I've owned many RR C, but the 95 has been the best! Few of the common issues, but nothing to cry over. But these rigs are not for everyone, mostly because the DEALER will kill you on repairs that a inddy shop can do for half the $. Good thing , there is tons of info on the net on how to DIY repairs.
The tranmission and transfer case seem's to go often in these cars.
I also had to replace the water pump and the reservoir tank twice in less than two month.
See my review of the 2005 Ford Explorer a little while ago. It replaced this `03 Rover, which was a total LEMON. Every other month, a tranny, electrical, or self-leveling suspension problem. Warranty expired so I ditched it.
