Mine is still reliable 2R. How is the Holden doing?

Jaguar near the top LR near the bottom - strange. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Landrover only make offroad vehicles and as such a large number work in arduous environments. If just offroad vehicles were compared I think Landrover would do a bit better. 07MY RRS TDV6

Would have thought 90% plus of LRs never leave the tarmac, result is not a surprise. What is a surprise is Mini at the bottom. I thought they were meant to be "reliable". Shocked

"Land Rover again fared poorly, ranking third last with a score of 212, although that score was a marked improvement on 2010's result of 255."

Look on the bright side.. it's getting better.. Laughing http://paulomartinsphotography.tumblr.com

Unlike your 1st RRS that you got them to take back as reliability was even worse than mine! Laughing

Mine was at the dealers 10 days ago for lack of response and warnings about PDC, HDC, Park brake and Emerg Brake assist. They replaced the brake pedal switch and, of course, last Sat night it all happened again. Back to the dealer soon. Sad

But, currently, it still stands as the best allround vehicle I have ever driven and I still grin when I drive it. Very Happy Now :3.0 TDV6, Stornoway grey, Premium Almond leather,Dynamic Pack , Paddle shifters, Rear Electronic Diff, Surround Camera System, Park Distance Control - Front, Tow Pack, 19 x 9" 5 V-Spoke wheels, Memory Pack, Cold Climate Pack, Carpet Mat Set, Roof rails, general Grabber ATs,

Ordered, due May 17 SDV6 Dynamic Loire Blue, Ivory, Drive Pro pack, Sliding roof, Heated seats and steering wheel, Surround cameras, Tow pack with Advanced Tow Assist, Meridian 825w sound,

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Hydronic, over on the FFRR forums there has been a spate of similar problems being reported on 2011MY FFRR's - it has been traced back to one of two causes - a) The Climate Control has not been shutting down when the car is locked up and left and the fans have been running all the time, slowly draining the battery and throwing up all the warnings or b) the car radio/ audio systems have not been shutting down and again draining the battery but not enough to stop the engine starting, just enough to cause all the warning you mention to come up. There is a software patch for FFRR to cover this there may now be one for RRS too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
