Have a 2015 SDV6 HSE from new with 150,000ks on the clock. No problems so far, just the usual tyres and brakes and the odd warning light (passenger airbag is a common one but goes off eventually)

We've been towing a 3T van around Australia for two years now with the SDV8, without question it is the best tow combo ( engine gearbox) in Australia. This thing laughs at hills at over 6T train weight,, all while sitting in a RR!

Bought a 2020 P525 HSE Dynamic with a about 27k miles last Thur, Fri morning the sunroof closed on the driver side and the passenger side stayed up. Been at the dealer since waiting for a new rail tract to install, not off toa good start. Warranty is fixing it and I have a loaner, hopefully it's not a recurring issue.

@themilesdriven Жыл бұрын

Thanks for adding your experience, something worth noting for other buyers especially those looking to buy privately that may not have had the warranty cover you have 👍

Definitely helped give me confidence in going for my first RR. Finally decided to start looking for a RRS SDV8. I have found two that take my fancy, so hopefully do a deal on one in the next week or so. Maybe crazy to buy one during all this insurance debacle but time will tell. I’m sure Land Rover will have to step up and do something or the brand will die a painful death here in the UK.

@Mac_F87 5 ай бұрын

@@dbasix-ocho-zero-cinco the V8 engine has less weak points than the V6. I bought one just before Christmas and I am really enjoying it. Also the SDV8 all come pretty well spec’d from factory. So you get a lot of car for the money.

re security, steering wheel lock on view and a Ghost2 helps.

@pedrotheswift5937 8 ай бұрын

Here in Australia there are a few common SDV8 faults, oil coolers, O rings and a bit rarer but a showstopper is the gearshift button actuator. such a poorly designed part, cost of manufacture would be ten cents, but it stops you dead.

@themilesdriven 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for adding the note on the gearshift actuator. Hopefully in time a third party solution will bring the cost of replacement down, but nonetheless a great point made and 100% worth checking the shifter functions in all modes before purchase 👍

This is in the video when we discuss the 3.0-litre diesel engines from 10.45 👍

@lfogtman 7 ай бұрын

That seemingly happens if the oil is not changed regularly and/or oil level is too low. They do need good servicing regimen to avoid engine issues.

Thinking on buying a 2020 td6 hse, 65k miles, 1 owner it was a rental vehicle. No problems on carfax. Any advice? Visually the car looks great

@themilesdriven 2 күн бұрын

Was it a rental with a major brand? I worked in rental cars (Sixt) for a while and we kept our cars in top condition as it was cheaper to do preventative maintenance and have happy customers, especially on high end cars as it attracted corporate customers, but our vehicles were a bit more expensive to rent. Unfortunately I have also sold ex-rental cars from brands that cared very little and worked their profit on exhausting a vehicle and then getting rid of it before it needed repairs or major maintenance. The service record is key, ex-rental with no history because it was done ‘in-house’ are a bigger concern than the ones that come with a record of maintenance with the rental company logo on it as they are putting their name against the work. I hope this info helps 👍

What a disaster and how many recalls , seems like Land Rover never seems to learn from its past mistakes , from hero to zero , and big big reliability problems crashing it’s reputation , prestigious doesn’t look good when it’s broken down …mmmh should have employed Lexus engineers !

JLR are not alone though...look at BMW, Audi and Toyota for example.
