2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged HSE Zermatt Silver

Trip to France, now 2500 miles and still awesome - but dead

Just got back from a nice relaxing weekend in France with Mrs Wokka (excellent 3* with 5* food 20 mins from the channel)...... filled the car with drink as you do, discovered that only a few RRS exist in France and everywhere we went it draw attention in fact in St Omer a crowd - "regarde Brembo"

the downside was the SatNav is crap when trying to put in names it wants the name with the accents!! Other than that average 29.5mpg... still love the car and it roars

Car went in today for the "knocking" on the suspension, during that they ran a diagnostics and the ECU has failed on back order!!! GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded - 2020 110 loving it

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

Wokkaman. Sorry to hear your troubles

Did the ECU get fried at the stealers. I assume you drove it there

29.5mpg

i'm on 24.6 over a very mixed 986 miles on trip at the moment. I am sure even ENVOY would get 25 on a run down the autoroute with acc set @ 75mph SDV8 vogue SE.
Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys.
Limited edition RRS model number 0001
Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten.

Wife has an i8 BMW

I did drive it there... it happened when they ran the diags on the Dynamic Response... it threw up a module failure and cant be driven. No idea on when the part will arrive

so I will be asking LR for some money back as I am paying for a vehicle that I dont have, no loan vehicle (the dealer didnt supply the car) and no idea when/if I'll be driving mine soon - 2500miles and 4 weeks old - OUTSTANDING

Also Customer Services could not find my reg - again! GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded
