FWIW, I'm not sure if I would agree with anyone who says that "...air suspension is probably the coolest thing about (their) vehicle". Please. Brock Yates and Jeremy Clarkson might disagree.
"That is to say Land Rovers can be taken from the opera to the Rubicon Trail and can serenely navigate most any road condition in total luxury. Only Hummer comes close to the brand image of Land Rover. But, while Hummer is a more American and macho brand, Land Rover has a global, sophisticated appeal."

Thanks

They need a picture of the back of your head unit, which in the case of the range rover is the touch screen display, from that they may be able to devlop something.
Specifically...how does ride, handling and engine noise compare?
I am curious to know if this ever happened to anyone reading this forum and whether you had to pay to fix it.
Thanks,

It included a $2000 discount coupon for any 2006 Range Rover HSE.
The RR SuperCharged was excluded.
I was hoping that others on this board may share their experience with the standard Goodyear tires on the Range Rover and if they are having tire noise issues. Thank you.
In other words, they cannot place orders on a "flow" basis.
My problem is that the 2006 RR I ordered in July, arrived this week with a broken windshield, and associated scratches on the trim and nearby paintwork.
The tell me they can repair it, but @ $90k, I am reluctant to take delivery of a repainted car, and with a windshield seal I cannot be sure of.
I would have thought that given it was a LR problem, they might have gone out of their way to modify a production schedule to slip a replacement into line before January or February.
Any ideas?
If you can't disable call waiting on your bluetooh phone then just do not pick up the incoming call it will scramble your phone and possibly do other funny things to the cars systems.
If you do happen to pick up a call by accident and things get scrambled you can probably correct the problem without bringing it to the dealer. Simply shut off the car and then disconnect the bluetooth phone from the car. On your phone somewhere there is an option to drop bluetooh connection. Once you do that it should descramble the connection and you should be able to reconnect the phone. This should also shutdown the navigation screen if it was staying on with the car off. I have seen that happen a couple of times and seems to be a side effect of trying to use call waiting with bluetooh connection.
I am reposting this on all Land Rover boards.
1 time for the rear hatch, 1 time for the wipers - they quit working in the middle of a rainstorm, 1 time because the LR oval and lights would stay on after the car was turn off. Love the Car, Hate all of the issues. Considering another model.
their is no romper lexus is a thin can
look at rangerover.net
Additionally, when sitting out front of my house and when requesting the nav to save the location, it shows an address which is still way off. This is a very old neighborhood so it is not an issue of new streets not yet updated.
Is there any way to manually change an address on the nav system so as to correct its memory?
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
This is my 4th vehicle with nav. (and 3rd Range Rover) and the 1st time I have ever had this kind of error.
For what it is worth: I ran my address in GOOGLE Earth, and it was correct.. so are the Land Rover discs to blame? The map on the screen is showing streets correctly.
It is quite a distinct thump, as if the gears are lagging before engaging. I recall reading some magazine tests when there were references to a rough gear change at certain times, and I am not sure if this is what was being described.
Those tests mentioned "pre-production" prototypes, inferring that the electronic mapping would change in production.
Any insights as to this problem?
Is the transmission performance and change pattern a software correctable item?
I did come across a Tech Bulletin on the Land Rover GTR site # LM-307-001 which talks about this problem, however it refers to Naturally Aspirated Vehicles only (mine is SuperCharged) and then the VIN numbers are only up thru 6A203248. Mine is later.
It also talks about the possibility of the presence of "transit relay" causing the problem. Is this something that should be removed pre-delivery?
The TB refers to a "tip-in-thump" (harsh shifts, 2-1 down or 1-2 up) which is how I perceive mine.
The remedy is 5 acceleration runs to 50MPH followed by 6 runs to 15MPH. If this fails, then a fluid change.
Can this be so, when my VIN # is out of range, and isn't this something that the dealer should have checked pre-delivery?
I am now wondering if this was the problem with the magazine test vehicles earlier this year.
Still think its a great car!
“Strangely, and out of character with the Range Rover's polished demeanor, the tranny shifted with a slight jolt on more than a few occasions, one time under part throttle while accelerating and another when the gas was quickly jabbed and then released.”
It appears strange that Land Rover did not follow-up on this, and mention made in the test.
Here are a few things I considered most important to ME. Please remember that others may feel differently. Look at things like: colors, 275 vs 305 hp, 5 vs 6 speed trans, independent suspension 2 vs 4 wheel, front and rear suspension, 18 vs 19" tires, single vs dual zone A/C control, front and rear brake size, Xenon headlights with washers, parking assist sensors, and finally interior storage.
RANGE ROVER WINS HANDS DOWN!!!!
You seem to be an expert on RR, overall, is it a good buy? I am specifically interested in cons/disappointment.
Thanks,
You have had the RR overheat twice in the last two months and haven't taken it to the dealer to have it checked? :confuse: Why?
Sounds like you might have a leak in the reservoir box because antifreeze normally doesn't evaporate from an overheated heated engine unless there is a leak.
Get that truck to the shop before you damage something!
Mark
There are several settings I'm going to have activated - drive away door locks, and headlight delay all the time if available. Does anybody know if: Unlock all doors when going from Drive to Park and Beep horn when locking with the remote can also be set? One more question, does anybody know what the Red clip on the glove box door is for? I've tried to clip a tire pressure gauge or pen and neither will stay put. Is there something special that goes there?
Thanks - Paul
The red clip there is the special tool to pull fuses out of the fuse box. One of the fuse boxes is behind a cover in the glove box.
-lazy entry with the drivers seat...will move back when exiting.
-speedometer warning signal...can set at any speed.
-auto locks at low speed.... I can turn on/off.
-auto dipping mirrors when in reverse... I can turn on/off.
-timed headlight delay.... I can choose the length of time.
I'm sure the RR has more choices as it's a more expensive vehicle but I can carry SEVEN passengers!!! :P
Happy Land Roving... Mark
Can anyone enlighten me on the finer points of the dreaded TRACTION FAILURE warning light? I suppose it is another very expensive repair bill at the very least. Please let me know if this fault is common on the 2000 RR 4.6 HSE with 50k miles? I have had several recent visits to the dealer regarding a sudden rash of fault lights and leaks to the tune of $3500. It has not been a kind season with our Rangie.
Any info would be great.
Has anyone else checked this out?
My 2002 Mercedes ML500 had a very optimistic computer that was off about 2-3 mpg from actual results (reality was lower).
I hope the LR3 stays accurate, time will tell.
