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.

range rover 06 issues - help by lauren33
Apr 15, 2007 (12:25 pm)
Reply

We have a 2006 Range Rover...We had one that we turned in within 2 months due to noises and they gave us another and we have had in the shop over 6 times in 1 year.
1. Noise coming from the A/C/Heat...It is like a soft siren that is associated with turning the heat/air on. It comes and goes.
2. The radio sticks and sometimes doesn't work.
3. The car comes to a jerking stop sometimes while slowing down to a stop.
4. The engine fan broke (currently being replaced).
We own the vehicle and are thinking about just selling it and buying another type of vehicle. Does anyone have these types of problems? The dealership acts like they have never seen any issues with any Range Rover, but everytime I am in there, I meet someone who is as angry or more than I am.
Thanks!!!

absolute disaster of a car. 93k piece of junk. been in the shop 6 times and terrible customer service. bought an upgrade card in order to get loaners and was told they don't do the program on saturdays and couldnt pick up my car for almost 2 months.
noises are terrible (not normal truck noises) but A/C, steering wheel, fan etc.

Well, knock-on-wood, but I have owned my '06 RR HSE for one year now: bought it new and I make sure all scheduled maintenance is preformed according to plan.
 
I have had no real problems. The engine management software needed to be upgraded within a month of purchase; but, other than that it runs and drives quite nicely.
 
I do not know what state you guys are in but if the LR is not performing as expected and it is in the shop a lot, I would check the lemon laws and contact LRNorthAmerica to find out what they can do.
 
Good Luck...Richard

I have a 2003 RR HSE and had the same high pitched noise last year. After one year and 5-6 stays at the dealer, it was finally fixed. They first replaced a small fan in the front console near the ac/heat/radio. This may be your problem but was not mine. They finally had someone from LRNorth America to visit who found the second fan behind/below the glove box which was the source of the siren type noise. It cools the electrical system when the car is awakened by opening the door or unlocking it. My guess is one of these 2 doughnut sized fans needs to be replaced. A simple fix when they knew what to do. Good luck!

I'm trying to purchase a cargo cover, black for my 2002 RR HSE. I'd rather not spend a fortune at the dealer, any suggestions?

2004 Vs 2005 RR by thebigbazooka

I am in the market for a used RR. I am debating between the 2004 vs 2005. What features and upgrades will I get with the 2005 model and what should I look for in these cars that seperate themselves from one another? Obviously I can tell from reading some of your posts that the Navi is better on the '05, but how about other options and features (e.g. engine, tranny, electronics, ergonomics etc.) Thank you.

Tires and Windshields (windscreens) by pfolk

Two unrelated questions today:
 
1. For those who have switched to Michelin Synchrones, do you find that they improve on-road handling? I'm feeling a little uncomfortable at freeway speeds of 70 mph+ on dry pavement on the factory tires.
 
2. What would you expect to pay for a windshield (windscreen) replacement for a 2007 LR3? I have been quoted $1,000 and I'm a little skeptical.
