Replying to: rrover (Sep 16, 2007 2:56 pm) It's hard to say from your short description why you would get a noise like that, although I sometimes had that happen with my former Jeep when the AC drive belt got a little older and the weather was cold and dry. If you were wading in the vehicle, and splashed sand, mud or grit into the under-carriage, it's always a good idea to give it a thorough cleaning afterwards. Otherwise, it could contribute to wear and tear. I would defer to the dealer's service staff before applying any "belt dressing" or other spray-on stuff to quiet a noisy belt. Enjoy your travels and let your friends know how much fun you're having in the boonies. That will usually stop any questions about why you're taking your RR off road.

Replying to: pfolk (Sep 16, 2007 3:11 pm) Any suggestion on how to protect the car off-road? Does the A-frame protection bar help? So far the paint is holding up really well.

Replying to: rrover (Sep 16, 2007 4:30 pm) As for the paint, keeping the vehicle clean, covered parking (when you're not exploring!) and a good coat of wax is your best protection. Zymol--www.zymol.com--sells a great liquid wax for SUV's. I have used it on mine and it stands up to the Arizona sun, dust, mud and the occasional swipe from overhanging brush. |

Occasionally when I start my 06 RR the suspension height indicator light does not activate, this in turn causes the message center to display the there is a suspension problem. If I then turn the ignition off then restart the car all is fine. I have taken it to the dealership twice and they have upgraded some software, but the problem keeps reoccurring. Any thought?

Replying to: wolstenholme (Sep 29, 2007 9:58 am) Many people have suggested that letting the vehicle run through its self check procedure before you start the car cuts down on extraneous check engine/suspension lights. Turn the key to the on position and wait till the steering wheel comes to a rest in your lap before you start the car. You end up waiting between five and seven seconds to start the vehicle but it does seem to work.

I bought a used 2005 Range Rover with about 28K miles. It is missing the CD magazine for the changer. I called Land Rover up for getting a replacement and they quoted almost $80 for it. I know that it is a Clarion unit and I can find CD magazines for this for around $40 online. Any information on the exact model that is installed.

Hi I am looking at one of the older style classic range rovers, the 2001-2002 model year. I know that while they are awesome cars, the current range rovers arent known for their reliability. Is this also the case for the older model years, or did these models hold up better? If anyone has any information on this or owns a rover from these years and would like to report on its reliability it would be a huge help to me. Thanks so much

Replying to: quattroporte12 (Nov 11, 2007 9:18 pm) The P38 body style Rovers from 1995-2002 are much, much less reliable then the Mark III Range Rovers from 2003-current. The only P38 I would buy is a 2000-2002 that has extensive service records. |
