Hi was wondering if this is a common fault or not
2016 range rover sport done approx. 77,000km or 47,845 miles.
broke down and have been told it needs a complete new engine..
Full service history and well looked after...!!!!
I have owned it from new..

 

NOOOOO! that's low miles! I bought a low miles 2016 RR Sport HSE 3 years ago and always have a ticking sound on cold starts but it's smooth as silk when running and idles nicely when it's back from a drive. It has 50,000 miles now. I've been paranoid lately since a friend with a 2018 Sport HSE just had his heads machined and gaskets replaced at 80,000 mi. He had some low coolant/overheating issues. His original dealer estimate was $15,000 but after much effort was able to get Land Rover USA to cover 75% since his car was always serviced at the dealer.
Did your car have any symtoms before it died? who did you take it to? would love to know what you find out.
