I'm sitting at 110k now, I've hit a lot of driving since I got it a few months back, loving it still and feeling it is solid as a rock. I've never had an engine past 125k on the clock but assured these bad boys do the miles. I read somewhere that most of the range rovers ever made are still happy in service.

That says a lot, despite the terrible reputation they have - its like the English version of an Alfa Romeo
Though mine really seems happy - everything works the way I'd expect and its nippy and giving me great mpg for a v8.

So, who has seen the most road? 

My RRS TDV8 has done 150k and I know of 2 in the local RR club that are over 300k now and still happy. As with everything - do the preventative maintenance and dont be stingy on anything or it may come back and bite you! Regards, Marty

Cool marty, great to hear! do you suggest any maintenance measures that you feel were worth the extra push? 

The main thing I think is to make sure your car is serviced by a reliable and knowledgable Indy - I am very fortunate to have a very good one who knows all Landrover vehicles very well. For me regular servicing every 10k - I think all Landrover vehicles love fresh oil if you know what I mean. Always monitor your air filter and make sure the trans is serviced properly every 50k - by this I mean with a tranny flush. I believe in preventative maintenance rather than repair. Dont know about over there in the UK but here in Oz too many owners think that 'its a 4WD it will take anything", it will, but only if properly maintained, just because its a 4WD doesnt mean you can ignore proper care. Just my opinion. I always connect my RRS to a solar battery charger when its going to be parked up for a week or so too. Regards, Marty

Now you're just showing off

G'day sagalout, yep you're right, but I also want to protect the 2 new batteries I had to put in...... Also, there is a Harrogate down the road from me - a little village you would call it - in the hills  Regards, Marty

I'm sure it's sunnier, but is it happier?
