I'm sorry, but 18 months between 2 oil changes? Omg... Thus this is a huge vehicle the engine has to work harder than for example in an A6 3.0 V6TDI. It means more wear, earlier fillup with dirt in the oil (and it's filter).... If I'd own one of these awesome cars, I'd definitely do an oil and filter change, A/C system flush and fillup if it is needed, every 8-10 000miles/12months, and gearbox and transfer case oil change every 50-60 000miles. It helps so many things to keep it in good shape... (and I'm no bullshiter, I'm a student of vehicle engineering in our University). If you change them like what I said, there will no opportunity for the dirt in the oil to seize so many things, like turbo's oiling tubes and so on... Othervise my absolute favorite vehicle, just one thing: I'd bought it with the 3.6 TDV8.

I fancy one of these, but at the moment Ive got a Lexus RX and I had no faults in 10 years! Its hard to walk away from a brand that was so reliable but I think these RRS are more comfortable and since I'm 55 this year I want the ultimate luxury and comfort, so long as there is enough power this is all I need

@davidbaugh 4 жыл бұрын

They are certainly comfortable, my wife and I tried several SUVs from Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, X5 amongst others and none matched the comfort of the sport. If you want the ultimate the Autobiography. Also there's a reasonable range of engines. I think due diligence is the name of the game, I bought independent and will have any work done by a local independent LR specialist. My wife suffers with a bad back and the RRS got her seal of approval. Good searching.

Hi there my friend! nice review i must say. I currently own a Mitsubishi Shogun Animal 4x4. The only issues with them is they rust heavily underneath. I do like the Land Rover Discoveries and sport models but kind of put off with comment faults they have like suspension, electronic hand brake, steering wheel motor failure, horn failure, locking & engine start and so on. If you don't mind me asking......what's the insurance on this model, road tax and what the year....:)

@davidbaugh 5 жыл бұрын

thanks glad you liked it. Mine is a 2010 and the road tax is £555 and the insurance around £450. I do like the land cruiser, not owned one but travelled around parts of Africa in the back of one about 17 years ago.
