Land Rover Range Rover Sport P400e

Incorrect plastic specification for the I6 3.0L PHEV oil filter housing. The housing can crack and spray oil onto hot components. Recall N908.

Symptoms: Oil leak, oil puddles, oil warning light, smoke or fire

Same base engine as PT306: turbocharger wear from insufficient lubrication. In PHEV mode the combustion engine often starts cold, which damages the turbo without pre-lubrication.

Symptoms: Whistling noise under acceleration, power loss in hybrid mode, smoke

Frequent malfunction: the system refuses EV operation with the message "EV temporarily unavailable". Cause is often a faulty HV coolant heater or defective battery control modules.

Symptoms: EV temporarily unavailable message, system switches to hybrid mode unintentionally

The PHEV battery loses capacity over time. Electric range drops from roughly 50 km to 30–35 km. Charge port and on-board charger failures are also reported.

Symptoms: Reduced electric range, charging errors, charge port unresponsive

When the PHEV is driven predominantly on electricity, the combustion engine starts rarely and never reaches operating temperature. Fuel enters the sump unburnt.

Symptoms: Fuel smell in engine oil, oil level above max mark, early service warning

Air suspension compressor and air springs fail regularly. Vehicle drops after parking, compressor runs continuously. Valve block, height sensors and reservoir tank also affected. Replacing one air spring costs over 1,500 euros.

Panoramic roof drain hoses corrode at the connector fitting and break off. Rainwater runs uncontrolled into the body, collects under the driver's seat and damages the audio amplifier and ECUs. Several vehicles written off.

Door lock module defective — doors can open unintentionally while driving. Land Rover recall for over 65,000 vehicles (2014–2016). Sealed unit must be completely replaced; no partial repair possible.

Brake discs warp prematurely due to the vehicle's high mass. Brembo calipers with steel guide pins in aluminium housings corrode and seize. Average disc life approximately 50,000 km. ECU-controlled pistons require specialist diagnostics.

Diesels from 2016 with AdBlue/SCR systems show excessive consumption and sensitive NOx sensors. Overfilling damages the sensor. Vehicle immobilises itself when AdBlue tank is empty. Fault diagnosis starts at 75 euros.

Front lower wishbones (straight and curved variants) wear early due to vehicle weight. Bushings are barely possible to press in correctly — full arm replacement recommended. Wheel alignment essential after repair.

The most common cause of the SRS warning light is a broken wire in the thin cables under the front seats. Land Rover solution: overlay cable repair. Cheaper than replacing the control unit. Simple OBD diagnosis is sufficient to narrow down the fault.
