The golden rule of Range Rover ownership is that as soon as you fix the last fault, a new one will appear. Hence, if you've got one minor fault, leave it well alone, as the next fault that comes along to replace it could be a great big, expensive one!

If anything goes wrong in mine, unless it causes a problem in day-to-day running I just leave it and save it for the next service, then I present the garage with a little list of things to do in addition to the service. That way nothing major ever goes wrong with my car. </RR owner logic>

That's a lovely Rover, how's ownership going?

If you have one and everything works on it keep it. Mine is going through another niggly period at the moment hopefully a new battery today will help.

Its going well. A couple of times I've had slower acceleration from standstill, feels like the clutch isn't being let out fully. The door that wouldn't open has started unlocking now, probably because its started to be used regularly. Changing the wipers at the weekend and getting rid of the wheel locks.

This was one of my gremlins yesterday it was stuck in low gear whilst in 1st gear and then the HDC started flashing and the EAS message came on . its worth getting a reader . Had mine two years now and don't use it often I have only done 2k in two years and I think this may well be one of the problems with not using it. However it drives like nothing else and the V8 is lovely.

New battery showing 12.8 Volts old one just 11.4 Volts so lets see how this goes. MAybe we should start a L322 support group.

Well I've had it since January and done just under 2K miles and haven't had to do anything except fill it up. Checked the levels for the first time last night and they don't need topping up. The warning lights have now gone and other issue has gone ... as its being used now possibly. its been great in all weathers although with the recent good weather I've noticed that the aircon needs sorting.

Well looking at your garage I'd say that other than the Massey Ferguson this was the vehicle have the bump in.

Hope not too much harm was done to the other party. Fingers crossed it was another vehicle and not wildlife.

Ooooops. I'd bet a second hand headlight on the bay wont bankrupt you mind.

The other car/ van was a mess. His fault going too quick down a single lane country road.
