RR Virgin - What am I to expect ?

Good Morning and happy Easter.

I have just bought this 3.6 Vogue

I have never driven a RR before

It is being delivered next week

It comes with a warning message already on it, that’s standard apparently

! “check number plate light” so possibly an easy fix - let me know.

How much is tax ?

Any parts places near York ?

Thanks

Looking forwards to it....

Yep, you are in an exclusive club and exclusive clubs tend to be expensive but worthwhile - enjoy. Geoff

Are you married ?

Because after a couple of weeks you might not be.
They can be an expensive mistress if other owners have mistreated them in the past, so I hope the Long Haired General at home is very understanding.

Only Joking.... Welcome to the fold and enjoy your new love. You are now amongst friends. Tony

Flat batteries
Replacement alternators
Idler pulley failures
Air suspension issues
A load of spurious fault codes
Blue tooth issues
Water leaks into the rear over the electronics
Door handle cable failures
Fuel bills
Recovery bills

Ooh the joys 😇

I see EGR blanking in your future.

What is your battery voltage at rest, idle and at 2000 rpm?

Thanks, the wife thinks I’m “looking” at them

I haven’t told her yet, She will get over it I’m sure....

Hmm

NOx is 355 on last MOT , apparently that’s not quite right and maybe a sensor in manifold or wastegate on turbo (so I’m told)

It’s done 76k

Body off job for turbo I think - 16 bolts and 1 multi connector....?

My wife loves 'hers' - to the extent that I'm not allowed to talk about replacing it with anything other than another FFRR.....

2009 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

Welcome to the club.
I’ve used LR Trade Parts at Selby a few times (I think they used to be at Riccall as I once picked some parts up form there).

Have fun! 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀
2009 3.6 V8 (MY2010) - my first ever diesel! - now also gone
2004 4.4 V8 Petrol Vogue - now gone

Ah, yes I know where that is - near Elvington way - will do.- thanks for the tip

I have a Audi with an 8 speed multitronic auto box and have spent 3k on a gearbox rebuild so I’d be keen to know if the box oil has been changed...

Brilliant

does she drive it ?

My 13 yr old daughter is most excited about it, however the wife probably won’t drive it , she has some difficulty in judging how long things are ....

Every car we have had she has “bumped into things”
