Your Range Rover - the best and the worst bits

Doubtless, these cars are addictive. The owner's loyalty to them can defy logic. It's only a car!

So what's the best and worst thing about the car itself and the ownership experience?

The worst bit for me so far was having to let go of the immaculate SC that I'd toiled with for over 2 years upon finally reaching a point of no return regarding unresolved engine repairs.

The best bit was realising that having done my homework, I'd found a cracking replacement with the benefit of my experience gained during the last couple of years' toil Thumbs Up

Worst - needing to be pushed off the channel tunnel after listening to the CD for ½ hour without the engine running Embarassed

Best - pulling a boat up a wet slip road effortlessly, then towing it 750 miles home in supreme comfort Very Happy

Best bit : The forum. Very helpful and friendly.


Worst bit: The car. It hasn't gone wrong yet. But it will, and it will be expensive.
