Never ending issues - New Codes
I bought my 2015 LR4 HSE in March last year. So far the work it has had:
April: Modulator under gear shifter went out - had to be towed to the dealership to be fixed. Well I had it towed to an independent mechanic but he couldn't find the issue but he did find that the water pump was leaking and that my valve gasket covers were leaking. I then had it towed to the dealership where apparently they quickly spotted this fairly common ($1k) issue.
May: Went back to the independent mechanic to have water pump replaced, oil changed and tires rotated .......and lug nuts cut off and replaced since apparently the key didn't come with the vehicle.
July: Car shut off suddenly....oil leak had apparently finally dripped enough to coat alternator. Had it towed and husband replaced valve gasket covers, spark plugs and alternator.
September: Object pierced my Aux. radiator on interstate....car started losing coolant but I was unaware of what had happened until the coolant low warning came on (and noticed temp gauge rising quickly) about a mile from my house. When I pulled it the car ejected water out the front and coolant out the bottom. Comprehensive Insurance covered but had to replace aux. radiator, repair condenser, and replace valve gasket covers and spark plug again....they also replace a fuel pipe (part LR065487). This was a huge insurance battle....long story....but got my car back 12/6. Yes, I didn't have it for months.
Now, for the past 2 weeks the check engine light comes on and pulls codes P2187 and P2189. I am at my wits in and ready to get rid of this thing even though it was my dream car. The dealership said they would run the codes there today but seem to feel like there is no way it could be related to the repair they did previously and that it is O2 sensors.
Any thoughts or advice on the new codes would be greatly appreciated.

Passenger-side valve cover. It houses the pcv valve (which is causing these codes). Some people have luck just replacing the diaphragm. It did not work for me and I ended up having to replace the whole valve cover. Good luck, and I hope that helps!
