It wont be long until it will be a year since joining the FF ownership fold. In that time I have had to call out the AA three times to it, had a door mirror kicked of, been sideswiped and had numerous electrical faults (no mechanical ones so far thankfully). This is more than I have had to put up with in 40 years of car ownership and I must admit I have yet to come to love the car in the way that I have with some of my previous vehicles, but it is still there on the driveway and I am willing to give it another year or three..... QUID FACIUM TIBI

I'm a couple of months past my 1st anniversary. Luckily no major probs so far, replaced the FSR & Disks & Pads all round when I first got it. Coming up to its first service with me very soon. Only other thing, the less than two year old battery seems to be on its way out, but thats another story!

Good Luck

The 3 times I called out the AA was due to the battery. Twice whilst on different holidays and once on my drive the battery was completely dead (after standing a maximum of a day). I had replaced the original battery with a brand new one of the correct size only a week after getting the car, but in the first two call-outs to the AA I was told there must be something causing a drain. It was only after the third call out (about four months after the first) that I was told the battery was at fault. Sure enough, when I returned to where I had the battery from and had mine checked it was faulty and replaced. This was last November and there hasn't been a problem with the battery since. QUID FACIUM TIBI

Just approaching my 12 months.

Drivers side air bag popped and towed home.
3/4 Flat batteries (due to short trips and days without being run as per AA)
Lambda sensor causing engine light and judder (covered / and repaired under AA)
1 x parking ticket - still fighting.

Not bad compered to some but more trouble than any other car I've owned.

My one year anniversary is just 3 days away, never had a FFRR before but took the plunge! I have thoroughly enjoyed driving the beast and there is simply no comparison on the motorway.......However, it does give me a squeaky bottom every time I think something might or has gone wrong

But I've only had a starter motor failure and a split intercooler hose and consider that so far so good. The battery did go flat once and despite the AA man telling me I needed to replace it, i invested in a CTEK 5.0, left on a charge overnight a couple of times and battery has been fine ever since. I even left the car in a long stay car park for 15 days and it fired up first time! Go figure?

Last but not least, the FFRR journey has been made infinitely better thanks to the good folks on this forum, I solute you comrades  Range Rover Vogue SE 2010
