Sorry, should have been a bit clearer, I am looking at L405's which I believe have the same engines as the D4 (TDV6).

Hi all,

I’m picking up my first RR next week, I had a break from car ownership for nearly 8 years, partially because I was working overseas and because I actually prefer a motorbike.

A couple of years ago on a particularly icy morning I decided enough and bought a late 2015 Defender 90, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The in car phone situation and much motorway work is not great so decided to bag a 2016 SDV8, which I’m picking up next week.

I’m sure I will still be on the bike more than the car, but at least when I am I hope to be doing it in comfort.

Looking forward to picking up some tips on here.

Cheers

Welcome, we are the interwebs font of all knowledge , just use the search function first.

Hi
My name is Richard and I am from Adelaide SA, Australia and have owned Range Rovers for more years than I care to remember. My current Rangie is a L322 2003. My first was a two door and I have owned most other models in between.

I will be making a contribution to the L322 forum regarding some of the current air suspension issues I am having.

Cheers
Richard

morning Richard and welcome to the forum and wiki..  ... - .- -.

Hi all - new here and pondering to take the plunge..

Have been driving a 4.4 BMW 7 series for 10 years now, but always wanted a RR - now convinced SWMBO that its a good idea as an extra car and may want to use it for towing as well in future.

Was convinced it had to be a low milage 4.2 SC, but now looking at L405 4.4 diesels as well..

Any tips welcome and will no doubt come round with lots of questions!

Thanks,
Derek

Try and get one with the towbar already fitted !

They are shockingly expensive from LR

Hello
So I am finishing the paperwork to buy my first RR after wanting it for years. I am looking forward to some long and happy drives in the car.
We already have a snowboarding trip booked in Italy next year nice long drive there. There are also a couple of trips towing a car trailer planned.
Heres to living the dream.

Hi Derek & welcome to the forum! I am fortunate to have had a 4.2 S/C and two 4.4 L405's. They are both great cars, but my advice if the budget allows would be to go for the 4.4 SDV8. Fuel economy is good for a heavy lump, but it's the torque that makes you grin when you plant your right foot! Amazing engine and 8 speed box

Cheers,

Just joined. I have owned Mach 1 Disco, P38 and two L322's in the past, mainly for use with 2 of my hobbies. Last couple of years have moved to a pickup as being a bit more practical for what I need but do miss the ride and pace of the Rangies. May be tempted back

Hi All,

Have just taken the plunge on a new P400e AB. Previously I had a RRS PHEV which has stolen in December from outside the house. After nearly a year of wrangling with the insurance (admittedly impacted by COVID), I finally persuaded them to give me the full money back on that one, and decided on the upgrade. By which I mean I took my year old son down to the dealership and got totally upsold when his eyes lit up at the FF.
Some good deals available at the moment (it seems) on built stock that is sitting at the factory so am justifying it to myself on that basis. Very much looking forward to getting it in a week or so. Hoping the p400e with the executive seats won’t mean the wife has a fit when she sees the boot... Anyone with any experience of that configuration- welcome your thoughts and advice.
Also buying every security device under the sun so it doesn’t get lifted again...

Look forward to chatting to you all.

Hi all been lurking for a couple of weeks, bought myself an L322 4.4tdv8 end of June always fancied one loving it so far, just had all the oils done gearbox diffs ect at a local independent, fantastic job too.

Hi There I’m a new member

I have had my 2009 5 litre V8 VOGUE for a couple of months, and I’m booking it in for a major service in a couple of weeks time.

I have a copy of the service hx of the car which has been regular service intervals at LR dealerships

What’s people’s general thoughts on a Mega Flush of the gear box - L322 FB advice is to do a mega flush for preventative maintenance, but I’ve read that can cause some future major issues.

I’d just like to know what the wider community out there thinks re what is generally a good idea to request for a major service.

Hello all - I am a new member, just picked up my first Range Rover - a 2014 SDV8 Vogue. Looking forward to getting to learn the capabilities of this car. First thing I must do is send a thank you to everyone that posts on this forum and our Australian forum AULRO and the US forum. All of you openly sharing your experiences and knowledge makes an invaluable tool for any new enthusiast and owner.
My other cars are a Jag X100 XK8, and Merc CL600
