Hi all, new to all this... Looking for some answers to my RRS tdv8 having a few problems with the warning lights on the dash.
Park brake fault
Stability control not available
Forward alert not available
Emergency brake assist not available
Gearbox fault

All came up at once so am thinking it maybe a sensor or something as the car still drives fine, any info would be great thanks...

Also what's the best way to lower my car a little (around access hight) so it will stay there while driving or is it beat to leave a alone....
Cheers

I became the new owner of 2016 RRS couple of days ago.
Expecting a lot of good information on RRS, I wish my choice of RRS as my first SUV to be a wonderful one on top of my 16-year old BMW525i.

Hey there,

just a quick head up.... new around here...

Happy land rover user since 1998... currently owning 2008 RRS TDV8.

Cheers and thumbs up

Welcome to the club, always a good place for help and information  2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

So Im not quite an owner yet... but thats why Im here.

I have the opportunity to purchase a RANGE ROVER SPORT HSE 3.6 TDV8. ( hopefully the pictures will show ) 57 plate with 128k on the clock. full service history and has had ( from what I can see from reading on here ) the usual replaced.
Externally it is excellent condition, newly refurbed wheels, tyres are MAY 16 MOT is due AUG 16. Internal is alot nice now Ive had a chance to clean it all up. Engine bay is sound, looks like its been lovingly cleaned - Ive had that checked over and no leaks etc.

It does seem to have the f/o side knock that they get ( from what I can tell thats a common thing? ) is this something to worry about?

Any advice would be helpful... Im more conscious of the mileage more than anything...

Nice to meet you all.

Hope to be an owner of a RRS within next couple of months.

Looking at an Early one 2005-08.

Only ever owned 2 seater sports cars so this is going to be a new experience for me, but with a baby on route and a wife who loves the RRS its a no brainer.

Will be looking around the site for advice.

And who knows, maybe a nice one comes up for sale on here too.

Hello everyone, recently bought a silver 2007 hse 2.7 tdv6 and really like it.



Will be posting soon

Since you've come from from sports cars then L would be looking towards a TDV8 or S/C they both have abit more performance than the v6's but also uprated brakes and suspension which might make you feel a little bit more at home, even if you are sitting about 3 feet higher than before ...

I,m used to e30 m3 which feels underground after the range

But in an M3 you cannot see the scenery as you are so low and concentrating on not venturing off road if there is a spot of dampness on the road. One thing you will find with the RRS is that the UK does have some magic countryside over the hedges and that in an RRS is is so nice to sit back and take it a bit slower and enjoy the comfort - the trip goes by just as fast when you aren't trying to be the fastest on the road! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Heh Tim there's a lot of sense in what you say there . The m3 is brill but your right about it being seat of your pants stuff sometime

I really like the rrs for the reasons you say , I just sit back and cruise, no stress, no racing and no backwards thro the bush !

Hi everyone,

Currently own a Puma 2.4 and a D4 SDv6, but with the stories of the SDv6 breaking cranks, I am considering trading it in for an RRS TDv8.

So I'm here looking for a buyer's guide

Hi all,

Currently in the market for a RRS due to the arrival of our baby boy.

My current A5 Coupe doesnt cut it any more!

Cheers,

Lee

Hi All,

newbie here. Looking for a change from a BMW X5 sport. Has been a good car, but feel like I need to drive a RRS now.

There seems to be plenty knocking about, but would appreciate and major pitfalls to avoid. No doubt will be glued to this forum for the next few days...

Thanks,
