I'm having serious suspension problems on my 06 RR HSE as well. Initially, the right side was lower than driver side. First time, they re-adjusted...second time they said it needed to be re-calibrated. Now the suspension fault message lit up (max 30 mph) and they can't seem to recalibrate it after ordering some new valves for the suspension. It's been in the shop for 4 full days now and counting...

hmm,,,,,I feel that the air suspension has to be changed on the side that is lower. I am not an expert but I been to so many repair shops and had so many issues with my 03, i can pretty much diagnose these things. If lived in new york I would be able to give a shop that would definitely find what's wrong

#11 of 17 hopefully India will be better by dc325ix

funny - the north america dealers were the ones protesting the sale to the company out of india because it would tarnish or lower the class of the vehicle. I think Ford and its dealers should be more worried about quality control; India companies are known for the quality and efficiency, so at this point anything is a step up from the junk coming out of Land Rover now.

#12 of 17 2006 Supercharged vs 2008 Supercharged by jbratx

Is there any major difference between the 2006 Range Rover Supercharged and the 2008? I'm interested in buying used, but I wanted to know if the body style or the interior were different. Thank You.

If you are considering buying a Land Rover Product you need to go ahead and do it. Then you can join all the other Land Rover Owners that are disgusted with the products this company puts out. Get ready for many trips to the dealership and learn what No Customer Support and poor high priced service is.
I think you should go ahead and buy it. You deserve it for yourself.
Good Luck!!!!

Criticism of previous models for cheap trim pieces is gone with the revised interior for 2010. Major interior revisions improve the look and feel throughout the cabin.
Among the changes is a simpler, cleaner dash. As Edmunds notes, "the multitude of buttons and switches have been reduced by half." Car and Driver likewise praises the improvements to the interior, saying "anything that isn't wood-trimmed or covered by leather is made of high-quality materials." The same reviewers even go so far as to assert it's "on the same level as an Aston Martin or Rolls-Royce interior"-high praise indeed.
 
Complaints about previous models' hard-to-read gauges are likewise gone, thanks to the 5-inch TFT display that replaces previous analog gauges. ConsumerGuide states, "[g]auges are clearly marked and easy to read." Cars.com notes, however, that "the screen catches glare badly and can sometimes be difficult to see." There remains some complexity due to the high-tech nature of the 2010 Range Rover Sport's features, too. ConsumerGuide reports that "setting Terrain Response, hill-descent control, and other off-road gear puzzles the uninitiated.
 

#16 of 17 2012 Range Rover?? by aaplsue

Apr 27, 2011 (3:13 pm)

Is there going to be a 2012 7 passenger that is not the LR4? I saw online it looks like the Range Rover but a salesperson could not confirm that this is true. I really love the look of the RR but I like having the extra seats in the back for kids and room for luggage for trips. I'm torn on what to get.

#17 of 17 When to buy? by aaplsue

Apr 27, 2011 (3:24 pm)

Around October the 2012 RR and LR will hit the lots in my area. Is is best to wait for one or will I get a better price on a 2011? I hate to pay the same price for a 2011 when I could get a 2012 unless the price increases.
