Hi Guys.

I've just bought the car i've wanted for 10 years! The Range Rover Sport. 2010 and bought from Guildford Land Rover.

Problem: I feel sick!

Literally, when driving it it feel really queazy! It's so comfortable, but my eyes feel funny and just feel sea sick. I thought it was just me, but my wife has exactly the same thing. I hate driving it - only had it for 3 days.

Any ideas?!?

Weird i know..

Thanks - James.

You should have purchased a FF.

The sick feeling is a punishment for buying a Sport..laugh

Have you ever had a 4x4 before, i would have thought the 2010 model's would handle really well so not much body roll etc from it?

Daft question, the windscreen is the original isn't it as a st aftermarket one could have poor optics, or is it heated as the wire can show up in your vision making things look like they are moving or rippling when they aren't.

My money is on the windscreen, had a sport and felt the same for the first day, well until it's suspension failed at 80 on the m25 in rush hour !! End of that car

Then had two ffrr's and now a fully restored tax exempt series 3 i about to sell

Back to a defender, they are pretty addictive these landrovers !!

Good luck and let us know how you get on

Thanks chaps. - it is heated, but the lines don't immediately spring to mind!
Might be going back to the shop....

What's an FF?

AHHHH! Thanks! The sport was only a 'can fit in my garage' decision. It's the starter, i'll get the FF for my main course in the fullness of time!

I know that once you try and curve glass weird stuff can start to happen with the optics, and a wire heating pack can be just about visible, I have a worryingly large knowledge of esoteric bits of glass curving and laminating given my job.
