Hello!

I’ve ran a couple of old jags over the years and since my last one was written off by an old duffer I thought best to get something more robust and suited to current driving conditions.

I bought an ‘04 vogue (hse badge on tailgate) that has had an interesting past. I paid £1,200 for this and at that price I was more than happy - although the offside rear arch/sill is holed, I was aware of this and know what lies ahead (buying a welder)…

Hello all,
I am a Freelander 2 owner and looking at a full fat in the next year so lots of reading to do.
Already got a good idea, so we will see if Santa wants to be kind to me.

Hello all
I have just registered on the site and I am looking for advice already. I have an L322 2011 TDV8 which I have just fitted with General Grabber 255/55R20s after following posts on the site. Excellent advice and I am really happy with them on and off road.
I am looking for underbody protection but can’t find anything in my searches. I have found decent rock sliders which will fit but no sump or transmission protection.

thank you all for joining the forum....

After five and a half years of Range Rover Sport ownership, it is time to move on and swap to an L405. Today I traded in my 2012 L320 5.0 Supercharged HSE and picked up a 2016 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8.



I had toyed with the idea of another 5.0 supercharged in the later L494 Sport but in the end I prefer refinement and comfort over speed. The answer may have been a 5.0 supercharged L405 but with the 4.4 SDV8 I am looking forward to getting more than 260 miles per fill up.

The plan had been to find a 2016 or 2017 Vogue or Vogue SE. Having tried both spec I went with the SE for the better seats. In the end I found this one at James French in Oxfordshire and the service from them was very good (so far, so good). The car has a few extras such as privacy glass, deployable steps etc. and has done 52,000 miles. It was fully serviced before collection.

The first job was to hook up the OBD2 code scanner and install Car Scanner Pro on my phone so that I can monitor regen (something not an issue with my old 5 litre). Also, need a set of genuine LR rubber mats or similar. Any recommendations from forum members for non LR rubber mats that are robust and last?

The change from L320 to L405 is immediately noticeable. The L320 (with 63000 miles) was sharper handling, stronger brake response and happy to be hustled - hence the Sport name. The L405 is brisk but definitely not a car to be hustled. In truth, I am ready for the change from sport to comfort and very pleased with my choice.

After 10 years on your sister RRS forum with a fab bunch of Range Rover addicts (a very helpful crowd ) I look forward to joining in here on the fullfat forum.

So hello to all you fellow Rangies...
Last week I took delivery of a 2011 4.4TDV8 Vogue. 137k miles. New suspension compressor and recent oil service but not much else service history wise. Has had a few fuel filters last one in March this year.
Typically after it was delivered..."without a glitch" the delivery driver left happy with his lot but I take it and fill it with diesel and "Restricted Performance" lights up. 30 minutes sitting still code is gone and seemed to be fine. However over the weekend a few trips and the same thing popped up and cleared itself after standing for 30 minutes or so 3 or 4 times.
Anyway I now have an iCarsoft code reader and 2 major faults flagged up. 1 I believe is unrelated and is historic and permanent fault( looking on here I think there is clear information about EGR temperature sensor)
The second is most likely the current culprit. "Intermittent Fault" Absolute Manifold pressure fault. Can't remember the code number.
My thoughts are to pull the turbo boost plenum and replace the 4 original boost hoses. Clean it, the EGR pipe, the throttle body and the plenum sensor thoroughly. Also the air filters haven't been replaced in a decade by the looks so they are also being swapped out.
Whilst I'm in there there are numerous other vacuum pipes and sensor cables to check out.

Hello everyone! Glad to find a still active car forum! Quick about me, I purchased a 2006 Range Rover Supercharged last fall for a sweet $3000USD with a very unhappy transmission, almost non-existent brakes, and bald tires.

After some new transmission solenoids, a Sonnax zip kit, and some new seals and fluid the transmission is happy again. I fixed a loose and leaky brake line, plus new pads and rotors. And I found some 2018 Range Rover wheels with one year old tires for less than a set of new tires.

But it's still got other problems I'm sharing through as well. So far this site has already been helpful, and I look forward to being part of this community.

Hi All,

My name is Mike

I've just joined this forum after lurking a while, having recently bought a 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TD V8 in a fetching shade of brown.
I'm from Lancashire and I'm looking forward to joining in some of the discussions on here as well as seeking advice from some of the knowledgeable folk on here.

Hey everyone, glad to be here! I own a few Rovers, and just picked up another. Current fleet lineup is a '98 D2, 2004 triple locked D2, 2006 LR3 HSE, and a 2008 Supercharged model.

I'm here to post about the l322 of course haha.

Hello from Downunder. I have a 2015 RR HSE and it has done well over 300,000 km.
I was lucky enough to find this site when my heater decided not to work at all. It is going to be a looooong winter! Wish me luck, thanks for having me !

Hi all,

A new RR owner, this is my first. Took the plunge after seeing quite a few nasty ones!! Not too much choice in Rep of Ireland.
Very tidy 2008 3.6TDV8 Vogue.
Drives nicely, very good nick.
As expected a few things to sort out. All the best
Chris

Hi All,

Just got a 2011 4.4 TDV8

Few issues, but I'm hoping this forum will help!

Cheers
Ian

Stopping in to say Hi.

I'm Richard and I have a problem... Well, 3.5 Land Rover problems I guess!

I'm quite active on another forum but I knew there was a tech guide on here and I needed to register to be able to search so I figured, why not?

I'm lucky enough to have a few vehicles but in the LR stakes I have:

2011 L322 4.4 TDV8 Vogue in Santorini Black with Ivory trim - Current Daily driver.
2009 L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue in Buckingham Blue with Parchment trim - For sale
2013 L319 3.0 SDV6 HSE in Baltic Blue with Black trim (the wife's treasured D4)
2010 L320 3.0 TDV6 HSE in Stornaway Grey with Black Trim (supposed to be a quick fix and flip with my brother but he has been driving it for months now and so I half-own this).

I do pretty much all of the work myself, had a few adventures with the oily and air bits of course but that's the joy of owning these.

Into other cars and bikes too but those are stories for another day.
