Summer in the Gulf is a stress test for every vehicle, and a Range Rover's complexity means there are more things to check than on a simple car. We recommend this inspection every May.
Cooling system
Have the coolant tested for strength and the system pressure-tested. Check the radiator fins for sand build-up and the electric fan operation. A weak system that copes in March will fail in July.
Air conditioning
A performance check measures vent temperature against ambient. Evaporator cleaning removes the musty smell and improves airflow, and a new cabin filter is essential after the spring dust storms.
Batteries
Heat shortens battery life more than cold. Both the main and auxiliary batteries should be load-tested. A battery over two years old is living on borrowed time.
Tyres
Check pressures cold, inspect for sidewall cracking and confirm the date codes. Tyres over five years old harden and lose grip regardless of tread depth.
Oil
If your last oil change was more than 8,000 km ago, change it now. Thin, degraded oil and extreme heat are the enemies of the timing chain and turbo.
Air suspension
A quick pressure-hold test identifies early leaks before the compressor is forced to work overtime in the heat.
