Thanks all for the re-welcome!

Yes, I fully intend to become a sponsor, but need to get my feet under the table first before insisting to my new employers that it's the way forward.

Hi All
My name is Ian, I am after buying a Sport and need advice from the people who know best
Basically I am after something 09-10 model in diesel but have heard rumours about both the TDV6 and the 8, V6 turbo issues and the body having to be removed!!! And a crank fault on the V8. Is there any truth to these or am I being told porkies?
Any info would be greatly appreciated as it will be a fair chunk of cash to buy one

Cheers all
Ian

Welcome Jonsey

Both the TDV6 and the TDV8 are great power plants

Post up your question in the general section and I'm sure the 3 main groups will comment (TDV6 boys, TDV8 boys and the Sc guys of course)  RRS gone

Hi all,

I bought a new RRS HSE TDV8 back in 2007. Sold it in 2009. Fantastic car and have regretted selling ever since. Traded it for a BMW 330d Touring which is also a great car but horrible in winter and I can't get all my gear into it. So, I've been thinking about another, second hand this time. Either a face lifted TDV8 or a 3ltr. I've test driven a new 3ltr and it was certainly nice, of course it was fitted with the new 8 speed. Anyone out there got any real life experience of going one to the other?
Great forum, and what I've seen so far contains some great info, especially for us tinkerers.

R.T. Used to own 2007 TDV8. Sold in 2009, Regreted selling it ever since.
Thinking about dipping my toe I again.

A BIG hello to all on the forum. I have owned a 55my RRS in grey and have posted a thread regarding Firenze Red as this is my new car colour. Have ordered this and should be with me by mid November. Hopefully would like to share some pictures and ideas on this forum in the future regarding all to do with RRS..
Anyone live in my area, please contact as would like to share ideas and comments.

Great forum as I've only been on this for 2 days. (Should of done it 3 years ago)!!!! It is what it is and I am what I am....

Sold up my Disco 3 and bought a RRS - 56 plate, TDV6 HSE. Hoping it will be as good as the Disco was.

Hi all,
Recently joined and wow, what a site. Do any off you guys know where I can order RRS floor mats for the 2012 model? Without going direct to LR?

Appreciate your replies in advance

Thanks for the site intro.

Hello All

Just registered on this site for the first time and just introducing myself. I'm Simon and I own a 2007 RRS TDV8 called Bess ( as in Black Bess) she is fitted with General Grabber A/T's, Mantec front sheild and Raised Air Intake and we have just driven Strata Florida which raised a few eyebrows!!!! I'm an ex-Land Rover Experience Instructor now back driving trucks & helping at Off road centre when needed. Look forward to chatting with you all

Hello,

Just introducing myself, picked up my RRS this week after trading in my RRE.

Wanted something bigger so bought a 2011 HSE 3.0TDV6.

Cheers

David

Hello and welcome to the latest new members.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi all!

I'm about to take the plunge and buy my first RRS, after owning many RR's over the years, some P38's (all DT/DSE models from 1995-97), two L322's (both 2003 TDV6 Vogue's one that i 2008 converted myself), now i am back in the market for a Rangie and would like a sport this time.

I have been reading many posts on here about the model i am interested in (TDV8 2007) and all i get is positive comments!, apart from a few issues that is just down to luck i guess lol.

I am going to post up in the general section as i do have a few questions for a first time buyer, that i could'nt find using the search in posts, so looking forward to a few chats and hopefully sharing my new ride with you guys! (& girls?!).

Thats all for now, Cheers!

For Dreammachine - you can get LR mats in carpet or rubber from these guys.

It is really really important that you DO NOT USE pre 2010MY mats in a 2010MY onwards as the older mats stop the pedals from operating properly!  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
