  • Engine and Drivetrain Overhaul

Certain tasks on a Range Rover Sport can only be effectively completed when the body is removed from the chassis. These tasks typically involve areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require significant disassembly. Here are some key tasks that necessitate a body-off approach:

  • Chassis Repair and Reinforcement:

    • Rust and Corrosion Treatment: The chassis, especially in older models or vehicles used in harsh environments, often suffers from rust and corrosion. Removing the body allows for a thorough inspection and treatment of these issues, ensuring the integrity and safety of the vehicle.

    • Structural Reinforcements: If the chassis has weakened or suffered damage, reinforcements or replacements of structural components are best performed with the body off.

  • Engine and Drivetrain Overhaul:

    • Engine Removal and Installation: Major engine repairs, replacements, or upgrades can be more efficiently performed when the body is off. This allows unobstructed access to the engine bay, facilitating tasks like engine mounts replacement, detailed inspections, and extensive modifications.

    • Transmission and Transfer Case Access: Similar to engine work, accessing and overhauling the transmission and transfer case is more straightforward with the body removed. This is particularly important for tasks that involve heavy components and require precise alignment.

  • Suspension System Overhaul:

    • Full Suspension Replacement: Replacing or upgrading the entire suspension system, including air suspension components, is easier and more effective with the body off. This allows for precise adjustments and ensures all components are correctly fitted and aligned.

    • Subframe and Mounts Replacement: Subframes and mounts are critical for the vehicle’s stability and handling. Replacing these components often requires the body to be removed to ensure proper installation and to avoid damage to adjacent systems.

  • Advanced Wiring and Plumbing Work:

    • Complete Rewiring: Replacing or upgrading the vehicle’s electrical system, including the installation of new wiring harnesses, is facilitated by body removal. This ensures that all electrical connections are properly routed and secured.

    • Fuel and Brake Line Replacement: Accessing and replacing fuel and brake lines, which run along the chassis, is more efficient and thorough with the body off. This helps prevent leaks and ensures the safety and reliability of these critical systems.

Range Rover Repairs Alva

Excellent company and great value compared to the main dealer. I have had my car here twice now and both jobs were done the way they should be and promptly. I had a bad experience with a previous garage who damaged my car and Ewan and Joe were able to fix this problem and get me mobile quickly. A great service from friendly staff and I wouldn't take my Range Rover anywhere else now.
