1989 Land Rover Range Rover Vogue review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good but bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head lining began to sag badly in the rear.
While driving on the motorway the passengers side wing mirror blew off due to cheap plastic.
Oil leak left a map of Fiji on the new concrete drive way at home.
Power steering main seal blew twice, ended up replacing the whole unit as main shaft had some how become bent.
Electric window switches in the rear gave up the ghost.
General comments?
Great truck all round besides the faults listed.
However very heavy on the fuel, 220 miles to a tank!
