Hey all,

It's been a while since I posted here, and it's good to see that for the most part there is a high satisfaction level with your Sports. My question is, why are the Sports seemingly trouble-free, and yey the "full fat" Range Rover is still so problematic? Watching the RangeRover.net website, 05 & even 06 Range Rovers are just beseiged with problems. It's just incomprehensible to me how a manufactuer allows this to happen. It's probably the main issue preventing me from taking the plunge. I would like it to be a plunge and not a free off of a cliff! Any thoughts, feedback, comments and/or observations invited.

I would assume that it is becuase the 'big' Range Rover is still the BMW developed car, but the Sport (and Disco 3) is the first Ford developed cars. Ford did it with Jaguar's - made them more reliable and a much better car. It might be too early to say, but it looks like they have made massive improvements at Land Rover too now. Matt

RRS ownership for 1 yr, then D3 for 2 yrs. Then cut back to old bangers and working my way back up through two Peugeots in 6 months. Now got Saab 9-5 2.3t and enjoying the performance!

isnt the sport built off of the lr3? Did the lr3 have many problems? Maybe this is why they chose not to build the sport off of the currant range rover.
