A big nammer,if that doesn't cure it,a bigger nammer, you do realise you have asked a question on a Range Rover forum? The only thing on the Ejoke that's RR is the badges.

Some of the stories there are just downright horrible..... catastrophic engine failures at such low miles on a lot of them.
It's one thing if vehicles have poor fit and finishing on the interior, unreliable electrics or something of the sort, but weak engines is totally a deal breaker.

You mean the mate who is single? I'd have an imaginary wife if I had an Ejoke.

With modern design and engineering processes theses type of engine failure should not happen at all, engines should do 200k with oil changes, with out problems
Hi there, sounds like lack of oil changes or a spate of low quality parts used by the engine manufacturers.
Depending in whether or not it's a chain driven or belt driven engine.
If it's on a belt, normally you would do the timing belt and pulleys as well, never refit an old belt. A full set of followers to add and an oil and filter change. Any small stretch bolts, camshaft shells if needed or found to be worn.
Injector washers, upper cover gasket kit.
Last note, check the lobes on the camshafts as well. There was a period when the treatment used in some makes where the lobes would round off and damage the followers... Vw/audi was the top favorite...

The trouble with modern design is that university trained engineers with no practical experience design engines and omit little things like the tangs on the bearing shells that stop the shells rotating in the housing and shutting off oil flow.With modern design and engineering processes theses type of engine failure should not happen at all, engines should do 200k with oil changes, with out problems

Keep the older cars on the road!!!

Have you read about the Tesla owner that was quoted €22,000 to fix his car? He took the motor & battery out to sell on and blew up the remains in an old quarry. Half the price of a new car to fix a car that was I think 5 years old and just out of warranty
