Gas cap broke and need replacement.
Tires bad at 14,100 miles - kept making noise.
Except for the tire issues we would own another one. But, replacing the tires at $1,000 a set every 15,000 miles is out of the question. There must be a design problem with the suspension.
I had the same issue. We needed new tires and an alignment at 16,000 miles. The dealer covered 75%, but I still didn't think we should have to pay anything. There is an apparent recall if you bring it to the dealer before 15,000 miles.
Has the tire issue been addressed by Land Rover yet? Thinking of buying one.
A possible problem could be the air bag suspension and a wheel alignment. There are a few steps that if a good mechanic is up on his Land Rovers should know. Bad alignment can cause wear on the tires, and eventually cause problems with the air bag suspension. I'm not saying that this could be the problem, but is definitely food for thought.
Hows the maintenance cost on one of these cars?
And how often is it?
Like I know BMW is every 15k for an oil change, and inspections are every 30,000 miles.
I have had numerous problems with my 2005 LR3. The lights keep coming on flashing HDC fault and park brake fault. This is the 6th time since I have owned the vehicle. I do not recommend the purchase of 2005. I had a 2006 and had no problems. The entire month of June the truck was in the shop. Upon called LR North America, they basically told me that they were not going to help, and that I was stuck with a crap vehicle and they didn't care.
