How to buy the PERFECT used Range Rover: Vicki Butler-Henderson\'s guide - Auto Express Dan: Constantly breaking. My 2018/68 SDV8 bought from a dealer 6 months ago with only about 30k on it has let me down 3 times, needing new turbos, new alternator and a new aircon compressor. It-s predecessor was returned to the dealer because it was a lemon and the dealer had faked the service history. Through this the dealers are even worse than the reliability. Compared to other high end brands Landrover dealers have the feel of the 1970s about them and an attitude to quality, hard work and service learned from David Brent. I won-t be buying another which is a shame because when they do work they are awesome.

Such a shame that such a beautiful range of cars has never been truly able to fulfill the basic necessity required of all vehicles, to get you from A to B without breaking down and to not cost you a fortune just to keep it going! I have a friend who is a true Range Rover / Land Rover enthusiast who has three of them, and even he admits that the only guaranteed way to get one from A to B without any problems is to put it on a trailer and tow it with something else. I'd buy one tomorrow otherwise, but it'll be an Audi again for me. Not nearly as impressive to look at but at least pretty reliable.

i used to work with a guy who out the blue inherited a 5 bed house and a 4 year old range rover and i think maybe a lot of money straight away he sold his 8 year old civic 6 months latter he said it was the biggest mistake of his life it was nothing but trouble the final straw was when it broke down on him when he was on his way to see wolves play man united he missed the match it it was binned

Had my first R/Rover at 25 years old 2 door J plate 1971 still got it! My next R/Rover was the 4 door T. D. V. M. engine don't care what anyone says the best engine ever! I now have an
L32 Just waiting for the new ones to come down in price but to be honest I love the L322 so not sure if I will up grade? Having driven the new option I am not sure?

A friend of mine bought a new one in 2015, his engine went bang last summer with less than 50k miles on it, new TDv6 engine fitted part paid for buy him-. Guess what he ordered the new one to be delivered later this year- why-. Must be something in it if you buy another when the last one went bang-. Not for me sorry, 20mpg-.

Had a new one in 2016 with a number of problems and as soon as the 5 year extended warranty ran out bought a new Mercedes GLE hybrid-. very happy and after 9 months, 7 k miles no faults whatsoever! Altogether a better vehicle, certainly less stressful and currently worth a lot more than I paid for it!

I personally believe that people against the reliability of RRs never owned or driven one. I bought a used 2008 4. 2 Sport Supercharged 4 yrs ago from a small dealership. Had 128K mi on it, driven it for 10k mi, now still starts one click,
runs great and got no complaints. Love it! //henry

Had a RR V8 4. 4 Diesel. 30K miles. engine blew. Broke 2 conrods - cost 32K to replace engine from LR - backstreet garage in Dartmouth rebuilt it for 6, 500 cash no questions asked. Never again. I can see why most are stolen, probably for spare parts.

Love them- the go anywhere, do anything kinda of car. Shooting or shopping, green lane or red carpet- it-s a one stop shop: ok parking in underground sites can be nerve racking but hey, it-s just the alloy wheels -

Fancy motors feed the ego. But one or two engagements with any main dealer will soon burst that bubble, along with any savings you may have. I'll stick with the Toyota, and they can fleece some other fool
