Researching buying a 2012 hybrid up to 200,000 kms. I have read that timing chains are for life and other reads indicating the chains should be done at 70, 000 miles on the 3.5 engine. We were looking at the 5.0 L Range Rover engines and all of them should get chains before failure and the BMW X6 has chains that don’t just wear but actually break from 26,000 miles onward. These repairs seem to be over 5-10k euros if everything is done when in there. Is this also true for the 3.5 in the Rx 450h which we are really considering to replace our nearly solid 2008 Range Rover 4.2 with 270kms. Thanks for your perceptions. Hoping to drive 100,000km without having to do the chains and vvt parts.
