Range Rover advice

The boot on a range rover looks massive until you put four 21" wheels in it

But at least you can fit 4 21" wheels in it with the rear seats still up by the look of it

Conversely, a Range Rover would look quite small until you put four 21" wheels on it.

Pretty much, I had to lean them forward to close the tailgate

The wheels haven't got a mark on them , bargain for £400
The tyres are £242 each new

Who needs a RR?

They're very cool but I think you might be able to buy a range rover for the cost of a decent one those these days mind.

I must admit , I've taken a liking to the miniature defender , not that keen on the 24k price tag though

They do look Cool but I'd rather keep what you have and keep that going mate.

I love this iteration of the Jimney. I think it looks more like a scaled down G-Wagon. Like you say 24k for a second hand one is madness!

Pah! You can get 8 in a QPV...

My thoughts exactly

I have the RR 4.4 TDV8 and it’s never faultered, costs me very little to run, surprisingly fast for a 3 ton vehicle and does 25mpg at 100 clicks an hour, you will never know it’s towing anything and super reliable..!!

Embarrasing but worthy question for our L322 5.0....

Doe anyone know, how do I get it to unlock all doors with just one click of the fob?

It's madding that two are needed!!! One just opens the drivers door. Cue passengers constantly knocking on the door, and me getting annoyed when I want to load something.

Tried the dashboard menu etc but no luck!

(Holy thread resurrection!)

How are you getting On with the Range Rover Supercharged Mr Zagato?

I’m looking at a possible purchase of a Supercharged as the poxy DPF on the 4.4TDV8 would just be horrendous for the short drives I do..

Any concerns on the timing chain guides?

Never had any issues with the DPF on mine, just give it a blast now and again and it’s clean..!!

Don’t think you can deselect one + all, safety if you are driving alone, only drivers door unlocked, prevents anyone jumping in passenger seats uninvited..!!

Reviving this thread,

I have a hankering for an old Range Rover - something to lug stuff to the dump with, and go to the occasional point-to-point. I'm thinking Series 1 (1969-1996 Classic) or Series 2 (1994-2001 P38A). Series 1 seems to be silly money (especially for a good 2-door) so maybe a Series 2. You seem to be able to get a reasonable V8 for anything from £2,000 to £15,000 (plus a few total rebuilds for loads more).

Any good advice? Apparently there is something about getting one with springs not air suspension?

Air suspension is great and adjustable, springs are not..!!

Ours certainly unlocks all the doors on a single push, well I think it does off to check
