Wipers parking

Only had my FFRR a couple of months and just noticed that if I switch off the ignition with the wipers running they don't park. My previous Disco3 did and my TD5 before. Is this because mines faulty? can someone help or is it because the car is a 6 year old design and they haven't bothered to update

most likely the latter.

I sometimes deliberately do this with the rear wiper when I wash the car so I can access the bit above where the wipe normally parks.

Come on, its such a small thing, does it really matter that much? The advantages and positive aspects of owning a Range Rover far outweigh trivialities like that surely?

Unfortunately its one of the many small irritating things about this car that drives me crazy. So many things the P38 did better that they didnt carry over.

Dont get me wrong, its a lovely car, is just a shame its a bit too "car" and not enough "land rover" I guess they were too interested in actually making money!

I agree with RRUK, its a great car far better than my Disco3 but why oh why do they cheapen it by missing off these little things that earlier LR,s had like the locking belts that I mentioned in another post it just takes the edge of a brilliant car.

I know how these small things can add up but tonight I drove back home from a days shooting across an hour of country roads, winding up and down, round and round, listening to my favourite music on the Harmon Kardon Logic 7 and all I could think was...

















MAN I LOVE THIS CAR! Very Happy  Discovery 4 HSE
