Hi All, been looking on the forum for a while now but just bought my first Range Rover so thought I should register and ask for some advice! I bought the car (04my 4.4 Vogue with 89k miles) privately and got it serviced by a main dealer - Inspection 1 with a general checkover. This is what they reported:-
1 Sump plug tight to come out - thread worn
2 Rear wiper arm fouling the spoiler and washer inoperative
3 Gear selector illumination not lit
4 Squeek from steering eminating from rack
5 Some corrosion on rear metal brake pipe above diff - advise to clean and seal
6 Slight dampness around transmission sump
7 Oil leak - rear diff area
8 Auto transmission metal pipes badly corroded
9 Slight play steering rack
10 Transfer gearbox oil leaking badly
11 General corrosion on underside of vehicle
This is my third adventure into Land Rover ownership - the first a Freelander 1.8 had the head gasket problem, the second a Discovery TD5 had (among many, many other problems!!) a head gasket failiure and now I'm wondering if my third Land Rover is going to be trouble again.
Fortunately my wife hasn't seen the report (yet!!) but I would really appreciate any thoughts/advice as to how serious all of the above sounds to you guys in the know
Thanks
Nick
