New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

Looks like the main gripe is the fuel consumption and running cost. It sounds like JLR are targeting those areas quite aggressively with the upcoming cars, so maybe someday the top of the range in every test will be filled with JLR products. In all fairness, they have come a long way from the utter unreliability in the 70's, it is just they took such a long time to catch up and are still not there. I really hope the L405 will have turned the corner on the quality front as well (since I want to buy one in a few years time Smile). MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Ejits cant even locate the RRS picture next to the RRS bit!!

TBH if you buy the cars you know they will cost a bomb to run and fuel up. if you dont like it dont buy Smile

wonder what they would do if JLR stuck a genset and some electric motors in it and a shed load of batteries?? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

They would probably laugh and knowing LR with that sort of technology it would almost certainly breakdown Sad
