New owner.

I have just taken ownership of a 2004 Td6 Vogue. Love it so far.
It was debadged when I got it with aftermarket 22" wheels.
I have made some alterations to it as you can see from the pictures.
I need to upgrade the tv to dvb and maybe get a flip down dvd player in the rear. The precious owner put some seats in the boot which I think I am going to remove.

2015 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Baltic Blue

Nice looking rr (once you have changed the wheels ).

Those rear seats are quite rare and may come in useful for you one day so don't dispose of too quickly. However if you do they go for over£600!

Nice looking range .welcome to the club .
Sell the rear seats and get the money for more mods.
When I was looking I found 1 with southern Irish plates and quite a few insurers classed it as an import .

My uncle lives in Ireland and we source cars over there to sell here. But I had to keep the RR myself as I wanted one for years and got it at a good price.

Well that lasted long. 115 miles and got the dreaded Trans Fail Safe message on dash. Carted off to Transmission place for investigation.

Check the bottom levels of your rad for sludge. This can cause the gearbox oil cooler to send that fault

To be honest....it was jerky in reverse the day before it went into fault and then the morning it went the gearbox was acting up. All revs no drive. Then when cold it was fine. 164k on clock so not unexpected. Good news is...my uncle is splitting the bill with me. 1800 from Suffolk Transmissions with new torque converter
