Hi all,

This new section is intended for the sharing of faults along with their fixes.

If you know of a Range Rover Sport issue which has a known fix, please share it here so we can build up an archive of fixes and solutions.

DO NOT ask for technical help for a problem here, this should be posted under General or Technical instead.

Any suggestions for the use of the new forum to improve it are warmly encouraged  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Since the Discovery 3/4 and Range Rover Sport share so much of their architecture and engineering it is also worth checking the following links:

• DISCO3.CO.UK Faults & Fixes section for problems with pre-facelift RRS
  
• DISCO4.COM Faults & Fixes section for post-facelift RRS.

I have a thud that goes right through the car at low speed up to about 40 the dealer has looked at it five times and can't find anything wrong they said they took it to range rover and plugged it in but there's no fault in the box this thud is bad has anyone had this problem and no what it is they changed the gear box mountain but its still there help

A little more information would be helpful, such as what age the car is, how many miles, what engine, does it do it all the time etc...

Also, asking the question in the correct part of the forum will result in many more people seeing the question, and may have an answer for you

Take it to Halfords or kwikfit. Mine was completely empty. £49. Good price.

Hi.. My RRS 55plate 4.2 v8 supercharged is being a bit temperamental at the moment, I've had it just over a year and had no problems.. Been away for the weekend and whilst away it wouldn't lock or unlock, I was having to unlock/lock using the passenger door handle.. Got back to home town and was ok for a few times... This morning it's at it again.. Any ideas?? .. Thanks

You shouldn't attempt to refill or charge Air Con systems, there are strict rules and laws on this, due I believe to release of hazardous gasses into atmosphere. This applied more to the old gas used in air con systems. People carrying this out have the proper equipment to drain and capture and refill your system, and add a dye if a leak is expected. If you have this equipment then I apologise. I believe (told read somewhere) you can purchase tins for DIY, but not ad visible as you can get severe burns and wouldn't wish injury to any members.
There are many specialists out there that can do it, or the multinationals using a all in one self contained unit. John

Remember finding the ports once - think they are next to the battery on the inboard side; you'll have to take off the battery dust cover to see them. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
