    Long crank, no faults

    While viewing live data from my scan tool, while cranking ignition coil output shows as "OFF". Is this normal during cranking? Unfortunately since it won't start now I can't see if it changes to "ON" while running

    Long crank, no faults

    Located Ground/earth strap, same cable that grounds alternator directly. It's also located in the wheel well but forward (the image attached is from a weird perspective so it's hard to tell at first).

    Long crank, no faults

    See C3555, left and right banks appear to have their own grounds, mirrored on each side. I'm still trying to track down the main engine grounds as well. On other vehicles it usually looks like a metal belt but for the life of me can't find it on this engine.

    Long crank, no faults

    Here is the ground for the ECM (C3557L), others have reported it should be checked frequently, I'll check mine tomorrow when I have access to the car again but in case you're bored it's probably smart to check and clean this ground anyways. The coils have their own ground on the engine but this...

    Long crank, no faults

    Battery was swapped a couple times, charging is the odd one, in hot weather the charging profile commands lower charging voltages which I think made this issue worse. My best guess at the moment is there’s an issue like you said upstream of the coils that is causing that circuit to require...

    Long crank, no faults

    Seems I’ve arrived at coils as well! Currently stuck at a gas station lol. long crank, started, then died, checked codes and: P0351-13 - Ignition coil A primary/secondary circuit P0352-13 - Ignition coil B primary/secondary circuit P0353-13 - Ignition coil C primary/secondary circuit P0354-13 -...

    Long crank, no faults

    This would definitely be ideal, the more controlled variables the better. From what I can tell the starter motor is one of the few components on these newer LRs that doesn't have 20 sensors on it lol. So in theory you could power the starter completely externally and the ECM would not know any...

    Long crank, no faults

    Right no spark! And good to know about your ECU, I remember you saying that previously but forgot. Definitely let me know your results on checking for fuel. I have also been told Injectors, Fuel pump, purge valve, etc etc. Leaking injectors combined with a weaker coil could also do it for sure...

    Long crank, no faults

    One last past symptom to note (not saying it's related, but noteable) a month before the long crank issue I was driving with 35 miles of fuel remaining, then suddenly the fuel gauge jumped up to 90 miles, then about 5 minutes later the engine shut down. I used a jerry can to add 1.5 gallons and...

    Long crank, no faults

    This is very interesting.. Almost makes me wonder if the low pressure pump is slowly failing, and at times draws way too much power causing the low voltage scenario. Alternator may be putting out healthy amps but the pump or something else is sucking it down. However on the other hand you'd...

    Long crank, no faults

    Hey Jimmy! For battery I was running an AGM, however I put in a brand new OEM spec battery just to rule out it being a reaction to the AGM. I will get the exact make/model shortly I honestly can't remember. And yeah mechanic said during long crank the plugs were not firing. He said it's possibly...

    Long crank, no faults

    Long cranking issue is back, will keep troubleshooting. Charging issue is still fixed though so the TSB was a success on that front.

    Long crank, no faults

    Just did the TSB, just the part regarding moving the wire from the battery positive to the fuse box. Charging voltage is now higher (13.8v on startup during hot day vs. 12.8v-13.4v before TSB). I will drive for a few days and report back on if the long crank issue persists! I agree it seems...

    Long crank, no faults

    Hey there Jimmy! Just wanted to chime in as I have an identical long crank issue on my '11 RRS. Went through the usual diagnostics from various shops (LPFP, HPFP, timing, plugs, etc). Finally a shop discovered that while long crank was occurring, there was no spark. Lived with the long crank...

    Water in Passenger Footwell

    Hey! I know you said water was draining from the sunroof, but I found that on mine the foam sound deadening material behind the fender air intake was actually preventing water from draining fast enough during rainy days. This in turn caused soaked carpets for me. While water would still drain...

    2011 RR Sport HSE

    I had the water pump and crossover tubing replaced on my 2011 for around $1000 parts and labor. I would highly recommend replacing the crossover tubing as chances are if the water pump has failed or is leaking, the crossover is not far behind. My dealer actually mis-diagnosed my coolant leak as...

    RR HSE 2010 Dead Battery

    Just wondering, have you replaced the battery and alternator at the same time? Ive heard that sometimes if a new alternator is installed with a bad battery or vice versa it can cause the charging circuit to stop feeding power. The "Gear box fault" will almost always come on when the input...

    Gearbox fault 2010 V8

    Hello! This is just an idea, but I have heard others say they experienced transmission faults and other seemingly random faults when the input power to the transmission was below a certain threshold. Usually this also causes a slightly harsher shift between gears, but sometimes the fault comes...

    Range Rover Sport Best Year? 2013?

    I own a 2011 RRS HSELux and have had very little issues with it! The only thing I must say is if I did it again I would most definitely go with a 2012-2013 just for the upgraded infotainment system. I change my oil around every 7k miles and have put 120,000miles with no engine issues. I did have...

    2011 LR4/RRS 5.0 Charging System Fault at ~60mph

    Hello! I replaced my alternator about 3 months ago and the power output has been almost completely consistent and up to par. However, I noticed when the vehicle is held at a speed around 60mph for an extended time the "Charging System Fault" message appears for 1-2 seconds and then turns off...

    Odd LR4 Noises

    I had the second noise you describe happen quite often one month, checked and found the cabin air filter was drenched with water and had a lot of debris in it. After replacing the filter the noise now happens less frequently. I assume this is because if the filter can't pass air as well the...

    Front passenger carpet squeak?

    Front passenger carpet squeak?

    Hello all! I started noticing an interior chirping squeak the other day in my 2011 RRS which has been driving me up the wall. After some pin pointing, I found out if I push or tap the carpet right in front of the passenger seat there is a squeak. This squeak can be heard from outside, but is...
