I am looking at a 2007 Range Rover Sport with some front end damage. No structural damage, hood and fender. The bumper was removed and not put back on. It will need a fender, hood and bumper spray. Current owner bought all new lights, fogs, etc. I am trying to find a source for an exploded parts diagram to see what parts I am going to need. This has been sitting for 5 years, only has 25k miles on it. Other than the rats' nest in the lower glove box, it doesn't look like anyone has ever even sat in the truck. No telling what damage the rats have done. I need to get a battery and turn the key to see what lights come up. Any help is appreciated. Phil

 

The plot thickens. I finally got access to the Range Rover Sport again. Turns out it is a 2006, not a 2007 as listed (I believe it was an honest error). The dead rats, nests and most of the rat poop is gone, serv-pro cleaned it up, well most of it. Did I mention that I hate rats.....Smells less, but still smells, my wife wouldn't ride in it at this point. I haven't done the ozone machine yet.

I took a new battery to check codes and what systems I could. Surprisingly, it still had codes stored. It also showed some faults, suspension fault, parking brake fault and neutral fault. Gear indicator on the dash showed E. When I plugged the scanner plug in, a few turds dropped from behind the kick panel cover.....yuck, I hate rats....Codes were U0155, U0101, U0121, P0500, P0198, P0071 and P0851. The hood/bonnet switches had been removed so the truck thought that the bonnet was open. Thus, the suspension wouldn't function. It is totally bottomed out. I am wondering if the codes were a result of a battery issue, some wiring issues as a result of the collision (less likely) or maybe the resident rats have been chewing on some wires.........most likely cause. Truck wouldn't turn over at all, nothing, probably a result of the bonnet issue or the parking brake faults? Any ideas? How hard is it to track down and fix bite marks caused by delinquent rodents? My enthusiasm for this vehicle is waning... On the positive side of things, I did find that it only has 15k miles looks like the collision happened right after the last service......Ideas? Anybody? Bueller, Bueller? thanks Phil
