- My Range Rover Sport 3.0TDV6 has thrown up a Red Triangle and a Restricted Performance warning. This means that the car is now operating in limp mode. Previous to this the car was indicating low battery in both keys eventually not recognising them at all shutting me out of the car.
In this video I will explain the issues how they arose and the fixing of the key fob issue and what will be done to fix the limp mode problem.
I used an icarsoft lr v3.0 for landrover/jaguar diagnostics tool and highly recommend it, here's a link amzn.to/3t8xlQz
I have the same engine in a Disco 4 and did a video on my restricted performance issue. Mine proved to be the for want of a better name throttle body that goes into the manifold's. Certainly easier to change but not cheap. I also made a smoke tester. Wish they wouldn't use so much plastic in stupid places on these engines.
Hi David. Thanks for the video sharing your experience. Sorry about the bad luck of course.
We do really have identical cars, as I had more or less the very same issues with mine as you. I had the same intake manifold crack on the right side just recently, it also caused Restricted Performance mode, but I was still able to drive it back to the workshop and they fixed it within a week. Other side still holds after ~1000 miles. Can't wait for the next thing to happen, but great car and I enjoy it a lot :) One thing which you did not had - my horn stopped working for some reason one day, so that also needs to be changed.
OMG our Discovery 4 has just had the same problem. I took the engine cover off today to be greeted with all the oily mess over the manifold. I cleaned it all down and low and behold there was a crack around one of the big holes in it. Hmm.. I got quoted £1200 for replacement so I thought sod it- I’ll see if I can fix it. Cleaned it all down, sanded the area then filled and covered the affected area with a high strength, high temp epoxy resin reinforced with aluminium foil. Haven’t driven it yet but I’m 90% confident that it will be ok.
Hello David. Many thanks for the video sharing your experience, much appreciated. I've seen them all a few times by now. Sorry about the bad luck.
Ever had any problems with your turbos? That's the one job that scared me cost wise. I plan on getting my timing belt done this year by your recommendation have no history of it being done. Also has your insurance gone nuts this year. I'm in my early 50s live in Sutton coldfield area and yet £12
I would run some cleaner (Seafoam in USA) then when it smokes you can see the crack and just weld it with some JB weld. I know to fix it properly is the right way to go but it may last long enough for something else to go bad.
Who's your local independent specialist. I live in Sutton Coldfield and I'm sure I will need a good specialist at some point. Great content thanks for the videos.
Try Oval Autos for that job. Do both whilst it’s being done. The drivers side one will fail soon due to the law of sod 😅
Yeah I’m thinking leaking cam covers too
Good video! I've recently had the inlet manifold changed on both sides, cost £1,600 with about 7 hours labour. I've had the car for about 7 months (Range Rover Vogue) the amount of trips to the garage is unreal. Latest issue is the brake master cylinder needs replacing. Another new issue which is playing on my mind, is I've had the restricted performance issue pop up recently on way to London from Manchester, Just before I get to M1 motorway, the message appears, stopped the car for 10 minutes and message disappeared. Wierd - no idea what it could be. maybe the sensor needs looking at?
LR say it’s 10 hours because they would do a body off. Can be done quite happily without a body off.
Sorry mate dont get it ..where did the oil come from ? Sounds like a failed turbo to me not a cracked manifold. Smoke test would have told you.
Omg my Range Rover sport 2014 v8 , restricted performance light came on limp mode .
hope your wife doing well
