The oldest RRSports will be reaching the end of their warranty period in the next 6 months....................
Out of interest and for the guidance of anybody thinking of either keeping their car or thinking of buying one near to the end of the factory warranty period it would be nice to know how you rate you car for its reliablity. I'm not interested in very recent cars but those cars that have covered more than say 10k miles/ 15k Kms or more than 12 months old 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Car just reach 12 mths and 11k miles. Only issue has been the infamous "knocking sound" and despite several trips to the dealer, one for two weeks(!), still present.... Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

Gone: Range Rover Vogue '11 4.4TDV8, Range Rover Sport ‘59, Range Rover Sport ‘56

17000 miles in just under two years, only time in shop was to replace seat swabs after LR seatcovers had marked the leather. Just had the knocking resolved (I have the SE) with new steering rod bushes along with non-noisy window wipers and I now love the car 'even' more than before.

Just the most brilliant car I've ever owned.

Harwoods of Sussex have been great too. P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

Tim, nice one. This is going to be interesting....

I wonder if we could group buy a warranty (what kind of margin might there be in it?) 2022 P440e AB

Why can't I tick more than one option?

I wanted to say :

TDv6 - almost totally reliable only niggling faults, very pleased

Any engine - I very pleased and would be happy to keep the car another 2-3 years with extra warranty (That one is just incase the wife is watching)

What I really meant to say was:

Any engine - I'm considering a TDV8 to replace my current Sport  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

a few unforgivable faults on a 130k car (swiss franks) would be faulty windscreen wipers (repedetly), squealing brakes (squeal came back afer 'fixed' at dealer) and the squeaking of the armrest when all the way down (it touches the center console when seat is too low down). windows don't have one-touch control (press 'down' once, adn the window opens by itself all the way). Also the rear entertainment system was outdated already when it came out (only plays dvd files), and the navigation in general is not the best.
other than that, love the car, but would definalty consider another one next time. RRS SC Bonatti Grey

Sorry about not being able to answer more than one question in the pole, it's the way the forums work I'm afraid!
Please keep adding answers.................................. should this be stickied?

Give me another week or so and I'll be able to qualify under the 15k km rule you have Tim, just about 11k on the car now and still less than 2 months old.

Al, if the car qualifies then answer the questions! I didn't put anything in for the TDv8 because I felt they are too new having only been available for about 11months or so - answer in the Any engine section 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I agree with you Bobby, I'm on my 7th LR product and none of them have been bummers, only one ever let me down and required roadside assistance and I have only ever needed to call LR Assist out for:
1) Parted Auxillary drive belt on my Td5 Disco2
2) After some serious mud plugging on Salisbury Plain in my Freelander I didn't wash it immediately and it developed squealing breaks all round while I was in Southampton - LR Assist called, took off all the wheels at the road side and cleaned out the entire brake system, no repeat of the problem and a silent (from a brake point of view) drive back to Scotland.
3) Had to call LR Assist to the Tdv6 after repeated problems on one drive home from town when the car went into limp home mode - LRA couldn't fix it on my drive, but as the car was drivable I was escorted to the dealer who changed a sensor and re=programmed something.
Anything else that has happened to my Land Rovers has been because of something I have done to them while enjoying their capabilities!
I would say that up selling the TDv6 it was the best car I have ever owned, not just Land Rovers but numerous Rovers, an Audi, a Volvo, several Fords and a TVR. The TDv8 is even better! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
