Thread: Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 Eternity Maintenance

Hi Jeromy try the following guys from the UK, Land Rover Parts and Spares Direct I've got everything single part from them including cross drilled and slotted rotors and they were fraction of the price from LR dealers here and you'll have it in 3 business days shipped via DHL also try Rimmer Brothers - Triumph Car Parts, MG Rover Car Parts, and Land Rover Car Parts and Spares

Rimmer Bros have the britpart performance rotors they are a 3rd party company that have been manufacturing in the UK for over 30 years and I've had control arms, tie rod kits, and water pump from their brand and have had 0 issues, you get 2 years warranty

You might want to change the diff oil too

Great input thank you - have done diff oils, still need to do Transfer case.

Apart from those thing i think the EGR would be good to block off to keep the engine a bit cleaner?

Bursons gave me the right spec Fuch oil last time - not too sure if it what i should be using as have only used it once, will look into this. Oil changes are too easy to do - even the filter changes are simple. The pollen filter not smells a tad funny after i put a new one in behind the glove box however.

I am experiencing average fuel consumption, or maybe it is normal but i rarely see a distance till empty above 690kms and an average fuel consumption of about 9.2- This is right i hope.

Fuchs Titan c1 .
A suction pump makes it heaps easier , worth the investment , got mine at Bursons .

9.2 sounds about right , I mostly run regional / rural into Melbourne . A trip to work is 120kms rounds trip ,mix of open road , freeway and normal traffic .

I have seen and av of just under 9 , but that was lower speed and nanna driving !

I've tried to block the egr's off and called a few indi places they all say it's problematic to do it since the map sensor & the control modules throw tantrums like your wife lol! So I've in the end taken them out and given a clean. You can use induction cleaners to clean out the soot frequently to make sure the intakes are clean. Liquid Molly has a good one for diesel suv's.

Hi Rav,

That does sounds like a pain- hard to take them off? Where they dirty when you did take them off?

Cheers

Really it is a waste of time taking them out and cleaning them - if you are going to go to that effort the just replace them.

When EGRs fail it is more than them just getting clogged up - the operating mechanism also breaks down and there is nothing you can do about this.

Others experience shows that the EGRs fail soon after their removal, cleaning and being put back in as the operating mechanism is a little slower to break down than the clogging up process. By cleaning them only half the job is done.

If you shop around overseas new EGRs are not all that expensive but you are better blanking and getting a software patch.
