Just wanted to share about my experience with my 2008 Range Rover Sport HSE. I have owned it for a little bit over 1 month and have over 5,000 miles on it (Yikes  ). The Vehicle has been running flawlessly. All I want to do is drive and drive and drive. I discover new pleasure in it everyday.  I bought the HSE model. And after about 2 weeks I was wishing that I had bought the Supercharger. Then I discovered that if I move the gear stick to the left, that the transmission shift point changes and it then moves like a raped ape on fire.  Anyway that's all. Happy New Year to my Asian mates. |

Is anyone aware of the shifting diagram on the underneath portion of the lid for the center armrest? Does the Range Rover Classic have two shifting modes? Thanks, Brady |

A very good deal came my way today, at least I hope. 1990 Range Rover Classic, County Edition. It has 102,000 miles on it. A mechanic is selling it because I believe his customer could not pay him for the brake system that was redone. He has been the mechanic on this vehicle for 4 years. Recent water pump, oil pump, all new brakes, and the head gaskets were replaced a few years ago. It runs and drives perfectly, and is mostly Land Rover stock It is in very good condition, and he is asking $1200 for it. Is this a good deal?

We are looking to purchase a 07 RR Sport HSE. Only one concern... the car in question has a roof mounted Alpine DVD system. Sales person says it was factory installed. From all my research I have not found a roof mounted system. Am I wrong? Or am I not looking in the right place. Also, someone mentioned that if DVD system is after market it will short out the Navigation/electronics. Can anyone shed some light please? One more observation, from our initial test drive, it seems like the DVD system can only be used with headsets not through speaker system. Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks |

Does anyone have an absolute answer as to the exact airbag configuration of a 2007 or newer RR HSE? The main reason for my purchasing a 2007 was from all the press releases from Land Rover stating that the interior of the vehicle and the airbag system was redesigned and reconfigured. The vehicle supposedly now has new torso (seat deployed) side airbags, a knee airbag for the driver, and "SIDE - CURTAIN AIRBAGS FOR ALL OUTBOARD OCCUPANTS" (1st and 2nd rows). I have 2 small children and my primary goal in purchasing a new vehicle is to provide them a safe enviornment - especially regarding a side curtain airbag system. I bought this vehicle because I was led to believe by numerous Land Rover press releases and told by my salesman that curtain style airbags replaced the prior tubular design for 1st row and small pillow design for 2nd row passengers. While looking through a 2008 RR HSE brouchure a year later I noticed a diagram of all the airbags fully deployed in the vehicle. You can clearly see the new torso and drivers knee airbags. Unfortunatly they also show the old tubular style (1st row) and small pillow head airbag for 2nd row. The 2007 brouchure I viewed when buying my vehicle had no such pictures to support the claims of the new system. The tiny pillow style 2nd row airbag is mounted very high and doesn't deploy low enough to offer children the same protection that a curtain style would. WHERE ARE THE CURTAIN STYLE 1st & 2nd row AIRBAGS I WAS PROMISED BY NUMEROUS LAND ROVER PRESS RELEASES AND MY SALESPERSON. When contacting my dealer I was told that the picture used in the 2008 brouchure was of the old airbag configuration and not accurate. If this is true why does the picture illustrate the NEW torso and drivers kneee airbags? It's really too bad because the vehicle itself is very nice, but my childrens safety will always come first. I feel the public is definetly being misled on this very important safety feature, and Land Rover still uses misleading verbage in todays brouchures. SHAME ON YOU LAND ROVER. This isn't how you win over customers.
