Is Range Rover Sports 2010-2013 A Reliable Car To Own Or Should I Avoid It? by kennyzboy: 11:46am On May 06, 2017 |
Please brethren I'm really concerned about this and in need of valuable advice. I'd like to know if it's a good car to own as per reliability and cost of ownership, I'll prefer the hard truth and not biased information. Current and previous users' experiences are highly welcome and most importantly car gurus, mechanics/technicians, engineers.

Very reliable and maintenance is cheap. It is only when you try to use mobil 1 that you will hear tales by moonlight. The number 1 problem is the engine oil. Many people ignore that and fry their engine. Getting used engine is above 4 m and most owners still cut corners when it comes to maintenance. Genuine brakepads is not more than 15k per set, oil change with the recommended 5w20, air filters is not more than 90k and that is twice a year. Get it and join our range rover off road competition taking place in Lagos on Democracy day. Registration is on going by sending a mail to info@arcnigeria.com. |

Twice a year. The Engine oil price depends on the current exchange rate. Last year, it was 3k per litre, this year, it is going steadily into 7k per litre

kennyzboy: its not cheap to purchase, not cheap to run and maintain, its got a big v8 motor and a supercharger blowing air into it for more power so you're getting a complicated engine, complex electronics, and its more than 2ton of curb mass so do not expect cheap gas cos it requires premium gasoline which is unavailable in Nigeria, octane boosters can be used yet its expensive and most products available in market are snake oils. Parts are expensive, failures are abound but not as woeful as its immediate past model. You're only buying this truck cos you love it, and not for any other logical reason than the love for it and the luxury and brand loyalty. 2 Likes |

Balloon issues? How well do you know the car? How much is the balloon? And how often do you hear the balloon giving issues? I once heard of a mercedes Cls with balloon issues and the balloon costs 550k and the owner needed 2. It took the owner 6 months to raise the amount and sold off the car. With 380k, you will buy 4 balloons of the range rover sport but there has never been anytime when you will need to change 2 balloons in a range rover.And it is also the mechanics who see all issues as balloon fault because they are too lazy to check out the faults. I once heard from a Range Sport owner how expensive the maintenance was, that he changed the two rear balloons for 600k. His driver quickly moved away, then I knew that things are not what they seem to be. 1 Like |

kingreign: The reliability issue comes from the use of the Engine oil. From my little experience, our fuel is also a factor but the Range Rover can survive the effect of a low octane fuel better than BMW, VW, Benz and even Acura hence you see them always cruising on the road. Since the engine oil that can hold down the temperature of the engine is not available in the open local market, then issues arises. |

Bro... I'll say you need to have at least N100 k always available for emergencies. Reliability is not something RR is noted for.... repairs should be done by certified mechanics ...whose workmanship is not cheap.... and there is little tolerance for cutting corners. Maintaining that ride is never cheap.... you should know the depth of your pockets. 1 Like 1 Share |
