#909 of 1000 Snow tire dilemma by mrtoad3 Jan 27, 2007 (5:09 pm)
Can anyone direct me to the manufacturer that can supply winter (snow) tires for my '05 RR with 255/55/19's? I don't want to go as far as Goodyear MT/R's but the other options I found are not going to cut it in deep snow. Any suggestions? Help.   Thanks.

Love the Range Rover. It's beautiful, it's ultra-luxurious, it's fast (I think).   My wife was "supposed" to get a new car this month. We were going to special-order an Audi A8. My son, who is also a gearhead, turned her onto the Range Rover Sport. When I drove it, I wasn't expecting much- I thought it would be heavy, ungainly, uncomposed. I never thought much of Range Rovers. When I drove it, I thought it drove better than the Cayenne S we had driven earlier in the day. Maybe that has something to do with preconceptions and expectations, but I'll leave it alone.   Of course, she's not getting a new car any more. No, it's not because my worth fell through; it's because she wants a new house this year instead. Whoopee (in all honesty, I can't wait to move into the home we're looking at). But, I have decided that she really will get a new car next year. But after reading all the horrible reliability ratings for the Range Rover Sport, I'd rather give a used (think one or two years old) Range Rover HSE a try. Reliability is key here, because she has a Lexus now, and refuses to buy another, for reasons unknown.   How is the reliability for the big ol' RR? It would be grand if we ended up with it; we're also considering an '07 S550 4Matic (also used) if she wants a sedan. I'd love personal experiences with the machine.   '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330 Replies to this message: esf (Jan 31, 2007 4:30 pm)

Replying to: esf (Jan 31, 2007 4:29 pm) This is confusing. I should've proof-read it.   We had driven the Range Rover Sport and Cayenne S last year; the settle on the A8 was eventual. We've been done with the RR-S for awhile.   '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330
#912 of 1000 Will 30x9.5x15 tires work on a 1989 Range Rover? by bmandep Feb 26, 2007 (2:28 pm)

Replying to: bmandep (Feb 26, 2007 2:28 pm) Err that is an interesting question and would probably be better answered on a Classics specific board.   Try Range Rovers . net (Without the spaces) and then check out the classis 1970-1995 Range Rover forum.

Don't let anyone you know buy one. Take it from someone paying the price. Replies to this message: kmm04 (Feb 28, 2007 5:34 pm) lauren33 (Apr 15, 2007 12:33 pm)

Replying to: gravity404 (Feb 28, 2007 2:24 pm) What kind of problems are you having gravity404? We brought an '06 RR HSE with 6k miles on it in July. We have had it in the shop 4 TIMES! The suspension light comes on and the gets stuck in the up or down position. The next error message states not to drive over 30 miles and hour. A terrible experience and the dealer is not trying to take the car back. Anyone else with this problem??? Any suggestions?
#916 of 1000 Rover Maintenance by b5309 Feb 28, 2007 (5:57 pm)
I've heard from several places and people that the maintenance for the Range Rover is a real pain, and I was wondering if anyone with a Range Rover could attest to that. If they could explain what kind of problems they have had with the vehicle, how serious they were, and how bad their dealer stuck it to them, it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably more modern models of the car. Replies to this message: teamyonex (Mar 01, 2007 7:54 am)

Replying to: b5309 (Feb 28, 2007 5:57 pm) I've been a LR (Disco and now RR) guy for 13 years. The single common thread amongst all maintenance related issues seems to be (based on the forums I visit) the quality of one's dealer. People who drop big bucks on a Rangie expect the white glove treatment, and it just always isn't the case. I'm in the Seattle area and use Bellevue Land Rover, and they are SUPERIOR to the BMW and Porsche maintenance departments located within walking distance. With high end cars, choose the dealer wisely so your expectaions will be met. In terms of a dollar comparison, call around and ask for a price on a complete brake job (pads, wear sensors, rotors). It'll give you an indication of relative costs between brands.
