Faults:

Air suspension has been replaced.

Exhaust changed in January 2007.

Battery leaked; the battery metal guard which holds it stable had been left out by a mechanic, so I had to buy a new battery in July 2007.

Touched up rust to the tailgate.

General Comments:

This car is power on wheels! I love it!

It is quick off the mark, leaving others standing!

The air conditioning works and keeps me cool.

Other cars give me room like they want to keep away from the car.

Funny thing I have noticed is that people don't toot at you. Is it because they can't see what's in front of me that may be causing a problem?

I get a lot of envious looks from blokes. As you can tell, I am a woman driving a power machine.

So much room in the car. My son loves to stretch out in it. He loves it too.

Faults:

Power steering piping leak.

Air conditioner pump died long ago.

Rear inertia seat belts break easily.

Ride height sensor failed at 193K.

General Comments:

Value for money is all you get when you purchase one of these units. We have had nothing but good driving, apart from the minor failures that will occur to any vehicle that is 10 years old. Keep it serviced and it will look after you.

Faults:

Rear O/S ride-height sensor failed at 98,000 miles.

Cruise-control system failed at 100,000 miles.

Air-conditioning compressor is now noisy.

Both front swivel joints were making a clicking noise when turning.

When inspected they were found to be dry. This was picked up when I had it serviced and was put down to poor maintenance by the previous owner. They were re-greased and appear to be fine now.

Power-seats operate intermittently!

General Comments:

I always wanted to own a Range-Rover. A superbly smooth, powerful engine. Very rewarding to drive, with a commanding view of the road, and a comfortable cabin. although the driving position makes my right foot ache sometimes on long journeys. It is not a cheap car to run by any means, but certainly worth the expense. I personally prefer the looks of the classic Range-Rover, but will upgrade to the newer model in due course.

Faults:

So far this is the most unreliable car I've had.

So far,

It has had to have a new Engine as the liner cracked.

The Transfer box has jammed.

The electric seat work when they feel like it.

The air suspension is problematic too.

General Comments:

This car was to replace a n 1985 model, but I have kept this so far as I cannot trust the LSE.

My 85 runs on LPG, but there is no room to fit the tanks under the LSE and as it uses petrol as if it was going out of fashion I am thinking of getting rid.

Faults:

Upper tailgate needs to be changed. Classic and absolutely ridiculous problem with all xlassic Range Rovers.

Recommended factory tires not very adapted to high heat index.

Prone to rust attacks in the joints etc.

General Comments:

This car is the ultimate 4WD. Handles great, lots of power and torque, excellent in terrain and on road, VERY comfortable, and the best part of it... all other 4WD owners always want to defend their mark vs. the Range Rover!!!

Faults:

The only fault that has occured during ownership has been an air suspension pump that failed two days after I bought it. This was repaired by the garage I bought it from for no extra cost. Recently had a new head gasket fitted but no drama.

General Comments:

If you can afford to put petrol in the thing (19mpg max) there is nothing else to touch it. 4.2V8 is awesome (0-60in 9.0sec). air suspension is very clever and handles very well for such a tall car. Will go anywhere offroad (4x4, diffs, traction control etc).

It is top of the range and has every extra you could ever want.

Very capable vehicle and no longer expensive to buy. Running costs are no higher than any other luxury vehicle if they are looked after.
