So I've finally bought myself a Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharged. I've had it for about a month but I haven't yet had time to share it with you.

I could write a lot of text, but I thought videos may give you a better idea of the car. I'd love to hear your opinion on the car in general as well as the minor issues I'm having!

I'm in Sales & Marketing for a car company and I have a garage with all possible tools and machines to my disposal. I have a business in which I've been building custom bikes and mopeds, so I consider myself more or less mechanically inclined, although I am not an authorized car mechanic. With the help of my current technicians team, I'm hoping to cheaply fix any and all minor issues my Range Rover might encounter.

It's a Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharged from 2007. It has 65'000km on it, which is around 40'000 miles. I paid CHF 22'000 for it, which is about US $21'000 / € 20'000 / £14'000. I think that's a fair price for a 2007 model with relatively low mileage.

Here's an overal intro video to my Range Rover Sport


This is a vide showing the clucking sound when strongly moving the steering wheel from left to right whilst driving:


Some issues I'm having, as shown in the videos above, are:
• Door handle skins come off, but the small door handle skin clips broke off when removing. Is there any proper way of removing these? I am planning on having new ones painted, but I want to be sure how to put them back properly.

• There's a slight clucking sound when driving and strongly moving the steering wheel left to right. I know this isn't how you usually drive, but it's a possible MOT issue.

• The rear right seat belt has been chewed on by the previous owner's dog. This is surely an MOT issue. Is there a tutorial, manual or video on how to replace the rear seat belt?

The noise when moving left to right like that is normal. It's the hydraulic dynamic anti roll bar system. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
