Hello all. As with probably most people on this forum, i didn't know about it until my 2008 RRS started to go wrong. Congrats to the site owners for providing a meeting place for enthusiasts and disgruntled owners (got to be loads) Watch out LR... I'm coming to get you and i'm armed with knowledge

Hi Everyone,

I've been nosing about on the forum for a few weeks, grabbing as much info as I can, which has all been very helpful, thanks. So thought about time I registered

I'm working away from home just now, but looking at swapping my P38 Range Rover for 2007/08 TDV8, pretty much as soon as get back into the UK in a week or two, after hopefully finding one to suit.

Again thanks for all you info, even if you all didn't realise you were giving it!!!

Hey everybody, I have just bought a new rangerover sport and must say i cant believe that i have never tried one before, A friend of mine loves them and has always been hassling me to purchase one, Anyway luckily another friends wife was in hospital having a baby and the friend asked me to drive his rover home from work ! i must say i was amazed, i fell in love and the next days where spent me looking for a sport, Anyway i decided to buy new, Although i do feel a little geeky being on a rover forum ! Plumber in Rochdale

Hi

I have just bought a Range Rover Sport 2007 TDv6 HSE

Looking forward to learning more about the car and gaining more knowledge

Thanks
Vik

how many miles to the engine do you get with the P38? purple people eater

There are no good days, just some days that are not as bad as others!

Yes I know all the stories, but only one none Service bill in 4yrs with it, and it is a 4.6V8, although that was the notorious heater matrix "O" Rings. (dash out for a couple of O rings)

I guess you are talking from your own experience, but also if you take everything you read on these forums as a whole, every vehicle is full of problems. I guess always easy for us to write on the problems than praise.

I'm hoping I have the same good experience with a RRS !!!

Not fully up on this "quote" set up yet, apologise for that

The RRS is fine, myself and my mucker had 4 engines between us on the P38's we owned, "failure by design". Did at least give me a chance to change the 4ltre up to a 4.6 without changing the car Good luck with everything  purple people eater

Thanks for that, I'll keep you informed on the RRS,

I hear what your say on the P38 though I may have been exreamly lucky, it has been a great car.

BUT!!!!, I do know the stories and it has had me on the edge of the seat for a while. Always afraid to look in the Oil cap incase the sludge is there, or signs of the Water Temp heading North.

Hopefully, I'll get sorted once I get home to the UK from work, and can go looking

They both failed exactly to plan and you have named most the symtoms, dont forget heater matrix and 'O' rings, it always goes the one way. The temperature guage has a way of sneaking up on you without warning, keep your eye on it and a couple of lites of water at hand. What I could never understand is that I got an audible warning and dash message when windscreen washer bottle empty, but nothing to tell you the coolant system was in trouble! purple people eater
