Yep, I realise that this is probably a newb question. I recently had a case of metal-on-metal action on one of the rears and only after spending out for a new rear disc/pads thought that maybe it would have been nice to know up front that things were wearing out (and only affecting one side)...

I've been really happy with my 2012 Westminster. Has more than enough toys to make me happy on both commutes and long distances. Totally agree that the TDV8 is a stonking engine. You'll love it.

Bringing this slightly more up to date, I saw this on Autoblog today. Next Land Rover Defender will 'have to wash its face' to gain broader appeal - Autoblog

Yep, and leave the owner with even less cabin storage options...

Interestingly, I was talking with the service guy about the CD changer being stuffed into the glovebox. He told me that they moved it to that location because putting it in the boot with the sat nav hard disc led to problems with moisture...

First post in the thread, mate...

This I can understand. They put all their faith in manufacture and not enough into QA.

Shamelessly bumping my own thread as I added more photos/info.

I totally understand. And I'd certainly be less happy if the dealer in question (Reading Lancaster) weren't on the ball and helpful. I had a Freelander 2 for over a year before getting the Range Rover and nothing ever went wrong with it. I'd guess that there's a huge amount of happy...

Just a bit of an update here. The car's been back and forth to the dealer a few times. The first time, they managed to sort out the remove heater function (remote just needed matching to the car) and the flapping bit of trim. They've had it back again to sort out the seat heater (replaced...

Reinflated a slow punctured tyres. Trying to work out how long I can leave it before getting it fixed.

Thanks for posting this, been looking for a camera to take up to the Hebrides this year. This seems to be one to look into. Are those discount codes still valid?

The Tipo was fun, the alternator decided to pack up on a dark and stormy night - pretty much every electrical system failed one at a time. Got to the stage where I had to drive faster on the motorway to clear the water off the screen after the wipers failed. The clutch went in the end, which...

Just out of interest, my previous cars have been:- Cortina 1.6L, Mini (original), Fiat Typo, Escort Ghia, Mondeo ST200, Mondeo ST TDCi, 330D (E46) Estate, E350 CDI Estate, 911 4S, Freelander 2 HSE and now the Range Rover. A bit like that Wheeler Dealer series where Mike traded up all the...
