I’ve had my fair share of cars and I guess I must be lucky as in 24 years driving I’ve never had a fault that couldn’t be fixed for £250 or less (touch wood). I’ve never even had a puncture and only had one breakdown which fixed itself 2 minutes later and properly died when I got home (cam position sensor loom fatigued).

I’m on my fourth sport (current is my first L494). I’ve had two v6 and a tdv8 and had no major issues with any of them. Please remember that there are a number of users will find these forums BECAUSE they have problems. This will make it seem like reliability is worse than it is.

It’s a 4.2SC - it only came in one spec unless you bought one of the very early cars when you had the choice of a ‘plain” S/C or a First Edition version that soon sold out. Only other choice came in 2007bwhen you could order an HST with the S/C Motor 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Some upgraded leather, RSE, sunroof -300 were special Vesuvius Orange paint (but they were also available in Zambezi Silver 300 built, or metallic Black also 300 built, for world wide sales ), Stirmer style alloy wheels and a special plaque - there was no extra power or changes to any of the running gear 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Scrumpy, sounds like yours might be a first Edition then - the leather upgrade IIRC was perforated Leather but as I have the original sales brouchures I can check later and list the additional items on a 1st Ed. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I always feel nervous commenting on threads like this because Murphy's Law dictates something will go wrong just after I post stating the opposite.

2 years into my first RRS - TDV8 currently on 155k miles. Was on 120k or so when I bought it. No major problems, a parking sensor and a suspension height sensor, both replaced by myself.

8 years and 120,000km of ownership (car now has 150,000km and is 11 years old) - other than service related items - no issues - still on my original air compressor and only recently changed to my second battery.
