United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

Don't know why but my DMF keeps failing, gives a park brake failure, something to do with the XY shift sensor as well and the amount of slip in the clutch.

2 new clutches and DMFs in 15000 miles and a new sensor this time too. Hope it will last a bit longer. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Slightly off topic but why do people block out / anonymise number plates on forums?

You drive around on public roads with them showing. Never understood what the "risk" is....

That's a cracking looking car, Craig. How does the D4 compare to the L322?

Looks great but a manual disco3 or 4 is terrible to drive IMHO

Bit clunky, but I wouldn't say they were terrible to drive. Does take a bit of practice to get smooth gear changes all the time

Suits an Autobox much better

Who am I to argue with such a guru on Landrover styling, but a bit 'over wheeled' for my taste Whistle

wouldnt say they are terrible to drive IMHO, not as smooth as an auto box but not that bad really. The gear stick he a slightly upright position and doesn't move back as much as you would think.

Would be better with a remap I think. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

In my opinion yes it's terrible to drive. The turbo looses all its boost every gear change so your basically having to then wind the turbo back up unless you are very quick with the gear change. We towed the caravan to the Lake District once and it was a nightmare

do agree that there is little low down boost and you have to give it a boot full to get it moving, I have found that if I drive with a few more revs on it then progress is a bit smoother if less efficient fuel wise, have stalled it a fair few times until i got used to it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
