Well nearly 2 years of ownership, and at least 12 years of the marque (RR Classic, Disco 1, Disco2) have i picked up a bit of a munter.. i have had continual niggles with it.

Crap paint job on delivery - Rear quarter resprayed (still coppering in the bonnet which LR will not admit to)
Rust on wipers on delivery - dealer should have picked that up.
New Steering Rack within 18K's
New set of Tyres - I suspect the wheels were not properly aligned after the steering rack problem (cannot get LR to admit they screwed this up)
Recovered with total loss of power and Engine fault within 8KM (8 kilometres not 8000) of service/engine management upgrade
Tranfer Module fault - had to be replaced
Electronic Park Brake - continual since ownership
Numerous recalls - Wheel Balance/Brake Hose - Dealer damaged the alloys when they tried rebalancing, f all redress and sure it must have been delivered to them with 19"'s

Problems to be fixed on next service

Top tailgate will not open
Top tailgate caused bruising and deformation to paint work on main tailgate, so a respray job
Fuel filler cap will not lock
Wrong Spare fitted (19") with all round 18" delivered as standard
Brakes sticking again
Passenger Air vents do not move/adjust
Parcel shelf fell to bits literally

It is starting to end up at the dealers at least once a month now, time to get rid ? maybe Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Its unfortunate that we cant simply reject the vehicles within a certain period of time like other countries. I had my Merc back to the dealer 40 times over 3 years and had to threaten them with parking the car across the street with a big sign saying dont buy a merc from these guys until they did something about it. BMW on the other hand have excellent service. I damaged the rotors (don't ask me how)on my X5 they picked it up at service and replaced all 4 immediately free of charge.

Fingers crossed mine is not a lemon

mp3madness how did you damage your rotors? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

All I know is after I came back from the farm the technician called me up and asked if I regularly broke hard at speeds in excess of 160km/h because the rotors had gone some blue tinge.

you're right... hmm TDv8 , but not yet, will not be able to convince she who must be obeyed until i buy the new house in Queensland.. pinning it on the build quality being improved since MY06 deliveries and coming out of warranty type argument in the next 12 months  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
