Hello all! I am contemplating buying a 2005 to 2008 Range Rover. I have a love for mechanical things and hate cars that do not require attention and work. As long as the engine doesn’t break beyond reasonable repair. I had a Cayenne S for example that I loved! Until it ate the inside of its cylinders (bore scoring) during the winter... So I am looking for a RR with an engine that has less likelihood to grenade itself. I plan on changing chain guides and do a good once over once I buy the vehicle. But based on your experience, which RR engine is more reliable? The BMW M62 or the Jaguar AJ-8? Which one is less likely to suffer catastrophic damage and more adapted to drive in really really cold weather? Thanks all!!
So my dad has said X5 that cranks but will not start. When you try to start the car, it makes this vacuum-like noise but gets nowhere. It will start without the MAF sensor, though. I believe he cleaned it last week, but still no dice on starting. I'm not ENTIRELY sure if he changed the fuel pump or the fuel filter at one point. He changed something dealing with fuel, but I don't know what exactly. The CEL is on, but we're waiting for the battery to charge before we can use our scantool. Any Help Appreciated? (Sorry if this post is stupidly formatted)
UPDATE Thanks for all the input guys. I've cleared a couple of gaps in my understanding of the issue so far.
- The fuel filter was replaced, not the fuel pump.
- Apparently before, when he read the error codes, it said something about a Low Voltage across the Throttle Body control valve (?), so I guess that's what he's trying to look into more.
- The car is in "Failsafe mode" after trying to start it last week.
I guess the next thing to correct is Failsafe mode first, And then check the Throttle body thing (Yeah... I don't know much about the internals of cars. Thanks for bearing with me) Will also try some of the suggestions posted here so far. Any other Suggestions?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
