K Motors, Independent Specialists in Land Rover vehicles have been performing Range Rover Sport Repairs since the vehicles launch in 2005.
The introduction of the All New Range Rover Sport was an instant success, along with its great exterior looks, the cabin offers an extremely comfortable place to be with most of the controls angled towards the driver and a driving position that really makes you feel like the king of the road. On these points alone it puts used vehicles in very high demand.
The driving experience is a joy, the automatic gearbox changes seamlessly and with a good view of the road ahead it corners easily with little body roll, there are no creaks or groans and there is very little road noise. It is extremely solid and beautifully built. Off road it is simply staggering, even for the novice, select the right setting – hill descent/snow/rocks/mud and off you go.
All this technical brilliance does mean that the vehicle is full of electronic control units where pretty much every fault requires the vehicle being hooked up to specialist diagnostic equipment. This in turn means that if things do go wrong, specialist tools and knowledge are required.
As well as our extensive knowledge and experience in Range Rover Sport repairs we also have the very latest Autologic diagnostic equipment and technical support to aid in any fault finding. Here we have a list of the more common RR Sport faults, symptoms and costs* to repair.
Range Rover Sport Repair Estimates
| Col #1 | Col #2 | Col #3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Front Lower Suspension Arm | ||||
| Loss of power can be caused by a split in one of the intercooler hoses. This means that the air boost pressure is lost so the air and fuel mixture is incorrect leading to poor performance and generally black smoke from the exhaust. In most instances, this will put the car into restricted performance mode but not always. This is most common on the 3.6 TDV8, to check, inspect the two hoses that run from the top of the intercooler into the engine, a split will show if you squeeze them. We would always advise to change both hoses even if only one is faulty as the other will fail shortly after. | ||||

| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Air Suspension Faults | ||||
| Most air suspension faults have the same symptoms, a yellow light with a picture of a car and an arrow over the top of it will show on the dash. The vehicle will be slow to raise and only go to standard ride height and will not go into off road or access mode. We always advise a diagnostic check before changing any parts. | ||||

| Range Rover Sport Repairs – Intercooler Hoses | ||||
| Loss of power on the Range Rover Sport can be caused by a split in the main intercooler hose. This means that the air boost pressure is lost so the air and fuel mixture is incorrect leading to poor performance and generally black smoke from the exhaust. In most instances this will put the car into restricted performance mode but not always. Intercooler hose failure is most common on the 2.7 TDV6 and 3.6 TDV8 engines, to check, inspect the large hose on the left of the engine that runs down to the bottom of the intercooler on the TDV6 or the two hoses that run from the top of the intercooler into the engine on the TDV8. Look for evidence of oil on the outside of the hose or a split will show if you squeeze them. We would always advise to change both hoses on the TDV8 even if only one is faulty as the other will fail shortly after. | ||||
| Replace main intercooler hose (Genuine LR) 2.7 TDV6 | £105 | |||
| Replace both top intercooler hoses (Genuine LR) 3.6 TDV8 | £105 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs – Fuel Gauge | ||||
| If you have noticed that your fuel gauge is reading incorrectly then this can be caused by a faulty fuel sender (there are 2 in each tank) or the pump or a faulty ECU. However, often it can just be an issue with the connectors that attach the wiring loom to the fuel sender units which can be replaced. It is a common fault with a number of Land Rover and Range Rover models. Be careful if you are thinking that you can live with an incorrect reading on the dash because if the ECU thinks the tank is empty it will stop the engine to prevent any damage and not start again and you can guarantee it will do it at the most inconvenient time and location. | ||||
| Replace fuel pump sender connections (Genuine LR) | £275 | |||
| Replace one fuel pump sender unit (Genuine LR) | £340 | |||
| Replace both fuel pump sender units (Genuine LR) | £420 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Front Brake Pads Replacement If low brake pads are spotted early before any metal on metal damage is caused to the disc then just the pads can be changed. Generally once the warning light has come on it is too late and discs will need to be changed also due to scoring. | ||||
| Front brake pads replacement (both sides OEM) | £134 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Front Brake Discs and Pads If brake pads have worn low and scored the discs then it is advisable to change both for optimum performance. The average life of brake discs is around 32,000 miles, after this they are considered too thin and will have a lip around the edge where just fitting new pads will take too long to bed in and most likely cause a squealing sound each time you apply the brakes. | ||||
| Front brake discs and pads replacement (Both sides) | £239 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Rear Brake Pad Replacement If low brake pads are spotted early before any metal on metal damage is caused to the disc then just the pads can be changed. Generally once the warning light has come on it is too late and discs will need to be changed also due to scoring. | ||||
| Rear brake pads replacement (both sides OEM) | £124 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Rear Brake Discs and Pads If brake pads have worn low and scored the discs then it is advisable to change both for optimum performance. The average life of brake discs is around 32,000 miles, after this they are considered too thin and will have a lip around the edge where just fitting new pads will take too long to bed in and most likely cause a squealing sound each time you apply the brakes. | ||||
| Rear brake discs and pads replacement (Both sides) | £240 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Handbrake Shoe Replacement | ||||
| Screeching or locked and hot rear wheels can be caused by the handbrake shoes collapsing meaning that either the contact material has come away from the metal shoe and jammed or one of the mechanisms has broken causing them to lock up. Sometimes this can cause damage to the discs which means they will also need to be replaced. | ||||
| Handbrake shoe replacement (both sides OEM) | £255 | |||
| Handbrake shoes, discs and pads replacement (both sides OEM) | £395 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Handbrake Actuator Replacement If the handbrake has locked the rear wheels and will not release then this can be a sign that the actuator has seized. Most times it can be released using the emergency release cable under the handbrake button. If the actuator does need replacing then the shoes and discs will also have to be replaced for the system to calibrate and work properly and to validate the warranty of the new actuator. | ||||
| Electronic handbrake actuator, shoes, discs and pads replacement | £1385 | |||
| Range Rover Sport Repairs - Brake Pipe Replacement A common MOT failure on the Range Rover Sport is brake pipe corrosion, where the pipes are attached to the chassis dirt gathers in the clips and sits around the pipe slowly eating away at the metal causing it to swell and in the worst cases burst the pipe. | ||||
| Brake pipe replacement depends on which pipes need replacing prices start from... | £50 | |||
