hello All,
Just got my first RR, very happy at the moment.

but you know that feeling when you know something is just about to happen and ruin your day, I think i will have to get used to that feeling.

Hey welcome lots of good info and people on here if things do get wobbly!!

Yes with all "the issues" you see reported you can't help but feel every completed journey without incident is a bonus. However a lot report no issues and I believe if a vehicle has been maintained correctly and not unnecessarily abused it will generally be relatively trouble free. I have a TVR and everyone loves them, well nearly everyone, but a lot say but they are just unreliable. Had mine a few years and apart from a good servicing schedule and few upgrades it's been trouble free. Adage is true, buy the best you can, worth paying for a good one. 2009 Range Rover Vogue 3.6TDV8, Bournville, Parchment/Navy

You have to remember....

They don't go wrong, they just need lots of loving....

As long as you didn't buy an early diesel you will be fine....  Pete

"As long as you didn't buy an early diesel"

Nowt wrong with an early diesel, TD6 engine strong as an Ox, however, GM gearbox, another matter (I guess that is what you mean...) .

Good luck. As a rule of thumb, owning a fatty will lead to the following, from to etc, etc
JayK69 is correct, lots of very helpful people here, with all the knowledge

ah, yes its an early diesel

Doesn't look like Monte Carlo blue in that photo ?

Not a Vogue but an HSE, my MY02 had all the toys inside, only difference from a Vogue was the seats and the sunroof(lack of one) .

i don't know what the colour is called yet, someone will let me know i am sure.

cold seats and no sunroof, i can live with that for now.

on a positive note, everything seems to work so far. 2003 4.4 V8 Vogue. Oslo Blue.
2003 TD6 SE, Adriatic Blue, no sunroof, no heated seats, but I did love it.

The colour should be printed on top of the passenger side front suspension strut.

Looks nice mate.

thanks guys,

I have checked, its Adriatic Blue. 2003 4.4 V8 Vogue. Oslo Blue.
2003 TD6 SE, Adriatic Blue, no sunroof, no heated seats, but I did love it.

very nice indeed we loved our TD6 so much i even coughed up 3k for new GB when it died. on that note if it has never been serviced do it NOW! it will be the best £2-500 you spend on it. I was told when mine failed had it been serviced it would not have failed. the failure was due to the oil being degraded to the point it no longer protected the components.
So learn from mine and other experience and do that cannot stress the importance of it  2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current

Tbh mate, any vehicle is pretty decent as long as your capable of fixing it yourself. Looks nice though

That looks to be a nice, unmolested example
