This thread has focused entirely on the Range Rover. Thank you, I know everyone is trying to help. I almost jumped at a higher mileage 07' today and took a step back. I'd like to get some time and mileage with this RR purchase. Ultimately, it will be a second vehicle, project vehicle, or...

By no means do I doubt you, it is however the first I've heard the 07' lumped in. I have been told the 06' is a rough year as it has a little of the old and a little of the new. Everyone seems to think service records and history counts when comparing two similar vehicles. My situation is a...

Range Rover. The comparison comes up as I have been generally warned to stay away from the 05' due to the BMW motor. On the other hand the vehicle is one of the few 05-08 models I have come across with an awesome service history and babied. Other than the Vanos what else is known to be...

4.4 HSE

Even though the 06+ Range Rover (07' up preferred) is generally deemed a better motor, terrain system etc. Would you guys choose a low mileage (75K) 2005 single owner garaged vehicle over a later model with higher mileage ? At a sub $10K Price.

I have found a buyer for my car, deposit in hand, it is now time get serious about moving forward with a purchase. I am split between an LR3 and the Range Rover. They are both equally appealing in form and function. Given different things happening in our lives with respect to careers...

Reccomended manual?

Thank you for sharing. Btw. What year did you own ? Did you undertake the repairs yourself ?

Though you couldn't say with certainty, as a matter of opinion do you think your experience is the norm or a bad run with a great vehicle? Also, if you dont mind sharing, from 95-150K Miles how much went into your RR ? I am looking at Rovers with the same mileage.

Only a fraction of owners get online and participate in these forums. Other than having a blast and being a true enthusiast i sense the bigger motivation to get anyone active on forums is problem solving. I also believe non-actual owners rely on perpetuating old ideas to make them feel better...

Matches - your position is clear. I have used your post as a spring board to explore the GX470. I am finding models with higher mileage and sticker price than the Range Rover. I have also googled and found some pretty impressive vehicles. That being said I also see a Ford vs. Chevy pattern...

Thanks for the advice on the distribution blocks and crimp connections. In my first post I alluded to chasing gremlins over the course year of ownership and don't mind proactively replacing commonly troublesome parts. Preventative maintenance can save an expedition or an average weekend.

Notable consideration.. accurate?

Thank you all for replying..I look forward to additional feedback on the RR.

Thanks for the tip on the Wiring. Upon the recommendation of a reputable repair shop near me I passed on an LR with this issue. Brake lines were pretty bad as well. Electrical gremlins are big problem for the diy. Would you recommend immediately swapping the airbags to springs?

Though the 06' LR received the terrain system/knob, I believe the 07' saw the introduction of the terrain system in the RR. However, I believe both switched to the Jaguar motor 06' forward. Accordingly, unless the forum tells me otherwise I am considering a 06 RR. I am wondering if the system...

I plan to buy 06' forward and will be staying away from the supercharged models on a keep it simple stupid philosophy. I have a turbo charged vehicle and my most recent repair included intercooler replacement damaged by a negligent road obstruction. Having owned a few vehicles I have concluded...

Evening all ! I am located in the NE USA and currently looking for a new vehicle. A few years back I built up and eventually sold an 09' Wrangler Unlimited. It was reliable, capable and well within my mechanical skills. I never saw a fraction of Expeditions I had hoped but did some wheeling in...
