England 2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Luxor
Costs

I'm one of those who always say how reliable the cars I had as company cars were.
Well in fact they were under warranty and I always got a loaner if they went in for anything so I got to thinking:
A ford needed a new door trim - it never arrived.
Audi - new seat cover, leather took a while about 800 quid
Merc - clock in dash ran fast, cure? New dash over a grand
Merc - new headlamp washer - 200 quid

Dealers - Mercedes just serviced the car didn't mention that the rear tyres we completely bald, in fact a bit of wood went through and caused a puncture.
Mercedes again - two front tyres through to the wires - not mentioned
Vauxhall - delivered a manual when auto ordered.
Vauxhall again - tried multiple times to fix air con, never fixed during cars lifetime.

Im sure there is other stuff but all those cars got swapped at 80k that's about the mileage I get a Range Rover.

Anyway - just saying Whistle
Oh and none of them could go where my Rangie can and they were all boring. Geoff

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Zermatt Silver

Similar story here.

Nissan Primera SRi - Constant clutch issues. Never resolved.
Vectra - endlessly stalling randomly for no reason. PAS leaks.
Laguna - rear drum brakes disintegrated inside the drum causing horrible noise.
Passat - A/C seal fail or door trim failure causing saturated carpets when 2 months old.
Alfa 156 - Many and various but latterly all bushes went. Brake switch failure.
Citroen C5 - rear glass hatch switch failure numerous times.
Toyota Hilux ute - cooling system blew completely.

The Primera and 156 certainly weren't boring to drive. Neither was the reliable loaner Mondeo. The rest were, though. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.
