And don't forget the electrical gremlins. Infuriating and bizarre electrical gremlins.
Oddly my 1997 Coupe had no electrical gremlins at all! I had a 1998 825 Sterling that was riddled, and the earlier ones were awful too. I had to take out the fusebox and resoldered the entire thing on all of them. Garbage.trooperiziz said:
I love this thread 
"That car is a liability, it's terrible, it will break or is already broken"
"So I shouldn't buy it then?"
"I'm not saying that, you should definitely give it a go"
Absolutely."That car is a liability, it's terrible, it will break or is already broken"
"So I shouldn't buy it then?"
"I'm not saying that, you should definitely give it a go"
"You should definitely buy it" (aka "but there's no way that I would......")

Was intrigued by this as I remember it being a massive problem on my old S3, however it looks like the buttons have moved to being the 'Doubleshots' you mentioned as they all illuminate very clearly and there isn't any wear on any of the buttons. These are on a 120k mile car;
(excuse the terrible iphone photo with just the interior light for illumination heh)
This is something that really puts me off Land Rover. Even on a Discovery 4, by 40k miles I couldn't read the Start/Stop button because the black coating had worn through. It isn't good enough for a £50k car from 2015. The buttons in my old Vectra were pristine at 170k miles, and in my old Astra and Corsa at nearly as many miles.(excuse the terrible iphone photo with just the interior light for illumination heh)
If Vauxhalls that cost a fraction as much can make it without wearing it, why can't Land Rover? It's a shame because I want Jaguar Land Rover to flourish, but they just let themselves down in so many little areas like that

It might not be a great car, but it's different and I'm sure it'll be amusing for a while. Take a punt and get rid when it starts to annoy you.
I like them.
I like it, looks decent at £1800. Its survived for 20 years so how bad can it actually be. Its not suddenly going to fall apart.I like them.

So, I don't use it that much, and most of the time it's just pottering around town. It shouldn't be too surprising that when I went to start it today it was dead as a dodo, clicking, flashing all warning lights, errors all over the shop.
A quick jump start later and she was back to normal, so I thought I'd best go on a good 30min drive to get some charge back in... And it drove perfectly, no misfiring, ever so slightly judder at idle but only because I was looking out for it.
What's that all about then? The only thing I can think is that it adapted to the old cam sensors missreading as best as possible, and now I have the new ones in, it needed the battery to die to properly reset the adaptions back to standard. It's a bit of a stretch but I have no other explanation! I'll see how it is at the weekend.
Temperamental and extremely unpredictable, other than if it's going to happen it'll be within the first few minutes of starting.So, I don't use it that much, and most of the time it's just pottering around town.

IIRC e65Ross replaced the battery in 2015 so it's not an old one.

I currently have a FFRR L322 5.0 s/c with approaching 120k on the clock and there's nothing illegible about the start/stop button.
Do you wear sandpaper gloves?
Might well breach thread limit, is LHD and some questionable issues but lots of V12 goodness and just check out the individual rear seats:

The vendor is just bumping it along at an ever reducing price; he bought for c£4500 less than a year ago and immediately put it up for sale into five figures - since then he's chipped away at his profit as he evidently isn't enthusiastic at owning and running. It was last offered for £7995 and now he's auctioning it.https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2...
Officially it's an E32 Highline with all those rear seat toys; I have little more than E32 stubble but I don't think any were made in rhd. It's not the top of the range E32 as 'Royal Individuals' were offered with even more toys on the shopping lists; electric curtains, motorised dvd screens, exterior microphones and loudspeakers, fresh air supply systems, etc.
