So, my 3.0 RRS registered Sept 09 is The best car I have ever owned and is fabulous to drive. Myself and one x previous owner have regularly service it including box and diff oils and had big belt service last year.

Only ever had one big warranty job when Land Rover had to remove sump and replace oil level sensor at 16k and about 2 years. It has only had one real failure which was O/S/F wheel bearing replaced at 68k and 7 1/2 years.

It does have a few little quirks, three times now, radio buttons have gone blank when engine started but changing station brings all the radio station details back and over the Xmas break the lighting on the speedo needle became Intermittent but been working fine since the New year.

So are most of the 3.0 models this reliable for the first 80k and if so when do the expensive problems start to rack up?

Or have I been really lucky with this vehicle and if it has been this good so far it will probably continue the same, or quite while I am ahead and put the money in to something newer.

I only have one friend with an RRS, he bought a 62 plate (eight speed box) with 95k on it and has spent out a fortune and recently had his engine destroy itself at 125k so getting a little nervous.

Mine is 8 1/2 years old now but drives and looks like new, so would be interested in you feedback.

Hi,
I thought you had bought our car then

Had a 2010 Ipanema hse lux with 78k and 1 previous owner !! had every intention of keeping it IF we could not get a good deal on a newer car?
We had the car for 28 months and only £££ was for servicing (did have a new FBH and fuel gauge sorted in warranty)
it was coming due the big belt service and had intended to have a drive Up North to have this and any preventative maintenance work done and would have been very happy to keep it.

until the offer we put on a 2016 hse dynamic was accepted

If you like it stick with it, you will never know whats around the corner anyway
