My Range Rover Sport L320 has just passed it's first MOT after 8 months under my ownership. What do I think of it Good or Bad!!!! How good is it on fuel?
david baugh I’ve got a 12 plate autobiography sport in white, having some little issues with the ace system at mo, random red triangle turning left and clunking on idle, low pressure in the ace system. I’m hoping clean fluid and filter will do the job
The lack of space in the doors I see as a positive 🤣 My other half has a habit of leaving her rubbish in there in my current car, packets of crisps, water bottles etc
😄 I think you may be right. Can't say I've used them in the RRS. I think if I look in mine I could probably find 2 year old parking tickets..... they just about fit. The door pockets in my Rover P4 are even smaller.
Many thanks. They are great cars and so good to drive and just be in. I've owned mine for just over 4 years now and still love it. I'll be doing a few more videos on the RRS very soon. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.
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.
Those seats look white but if you rub a small damp magic sponge over them, i bet you'll be shocked. My RRS had cream seats. Looked clean until i got the magic sponge out. Ouch
Why would you want to get into the door bins anyway when the doors are shut.? The door bottle challenge on cars absolutely does my head in as it’s utter tosh when you have a boot.
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....:)
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.
The size of the door pockets might have something to do with the improved crash structure of the side of cars in the last two decades. I'm no expert but I don't think cd's and water bottles will do much to save your life....
Perhaps.... But the size of the seats gives very little space for large door bins. On balance I love those super comfy seats. I only use the bins for a few micro fibre towels which they just about cope with😉
When I first had the car, a week later it was leaning to one side. I took it back and the compressor had failed so it was replaced and the suspension calibrated under warranty.
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
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.
@@davidbaugh I've seen an Autobiography on Autotrader real tidy 70k but they want way over book price for it, I guess the dealer thinks he can get it? How many out there would pay over the top for a really good car I wonder???
'I don't like the storage space? Then goes on to show 2 glove boxes (and says their a reasonable size) 2 cup holders and some storage then a huge cubby /fridge.??? Strange I felt depressed after 2 minutes.
If you watched and listened I said the storage in the door pockets was not good, but said the other storage in the glove boxes etc was adequate to good. By the way it's " they're a reasonable size"
No, everything is fine.. The only thing is a Restricted Performance light that shows up intermittently, the reason for this is a faulty or dirty MAF sensor on the inlet to the primary turbo. I will be doing a video on rectifying this issue very soon.
I have done an update video and give the total cost after running it for 12 months, and any problems I've had. this was just a likes and dislikes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hrDx8eLdXRc.html
No problems. The quoted figures for the average (real world driving) are 24mpg. My mpg suffers as I have mainly done short urban journeys. On a run it's not to bad.
Just stating a fact.....coming up to four years ownership and still love the sport. Wouldn't swop it for anything else............well, maybe an Aston DBX or a Lambo Urus!!! or........😉
Although I haven't tested either of those SUV's of the 5 or 6 we did try including a Q7, Cayenne, evoque, discovery and a Lexus the sport was the most comfortable, which was one of the priorities for us.
I used to own a Landcruiser, Nissan Terrano Daihatsu & Isuzu and they performed very well. I currently own a Mitsubishi Shogun Animal which is really nice but would love to own a Discovery 4 or sport model :)
Plenty of owners of Audi, Merc & BMW 4x4s report issues too. Interestingly, most of those use older versions of the air suspension that you'll find in a Range Rover.
