Hey there folks, new to the RR scene as this is my first. Just wanted to say hello.

Also thanks for all the time you people spend on here, it’s like a fountain of knowledge.

Hey. I'm back. It's been a long time. Bought a brand new '58 plate RRS HSE 2.7TD in 2008, but sold it in 2011.

I'm just about to purchase a year old L494. Currently looking for a 17 or 67 plate SDV6 3.0 in Black or Grey.

Happy enough with the basic spec but I do want a fixed pano roof.

I'll report back with pics when I get it. I've been mad for flipping years, absolutely years, over the edge for yonks.

If the car you are looking at has the Ebony interior then the panoramic roof lightens the interior a huge amount. Some people say not to go for the opening roof as there is a large bar across the roof where the opening panel seals and that houses the motor. The full length fixed one is really nice to have and there is a full length electrically operated blind that you can close on sunny days - I don’t know if the opening roof option has electric shades or manually operated. 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

Hello!

My name is Gertjan Bos, i'm from the Netherlands.
Just bought a RRS tdv8 (2007) and really like the car. Before that i drove a Jeep Cherokee , sorry about that..

The dutch forum is more a like a death forum, almost no updates or whatever. Thats why i join this one.

Sorry for my english, try the best i can do.

In about 2 months we are taking the RRS to Wales. Looking forward to it.


greetings!

Welcome Gertjan Bos  Steve.

I'm a member on disco 3 site and yesterday decided to trade my disco 3 hse 2004 to a 2012 rrs autobiography Orkney grey,
The disco 3 site has been really useful for advice on repairs and maintenance issues so looking forward to looking through some of the topics here

Good evening all,

I'm a long time lurker who has recently purchased my first RR Sport.
It was advertised on the forum & subsequently purchased!
It's a 2007 TDV8 in Silver, it appears to have been looked after well over the years, I've got it booked into my local specialist for a service & a good look over to check historical error codes etc.
After hours & hours over the years reading the wealth of information on the forum, I'm looking forward to joining in occasionally!

Cheers,
Wayne

Hello Folks

Newbe on this site.

I have a RRS TDV8 on a 2009 plate. I’m currently in SW France and she’s started going into limp mode every now and then. Message comes up on dash saying Engine system failure. Pull in turn the engine off and take key out leave it a few mins turn it back on and the fault clears and off we go - could be 100 miles or 10 miles before it does it again - no obvious pattern.

Both turbos were replaced about 6000 miles ago by a LR main dealer before I bought her. She’s just come out of a LR specialist in the SE having had the handbrake module replaced along with all the rear discs and pads etc ( £2k )

I don’t really want to go into a French garage as the last time I got, well less said really........

I’ve checked the turbo hoses and the hoses to and from the inter cooler and can’t see and cracks or splits. I’m thinking the actuators could be a bit sticky so wondering how I get to them to give them a squirt of WD40?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

I've joined the clan from the D3 side.

It needs a re-map and a couple of other sutle mods, but otherwise a 62 plate with 27,000 miles I can't really complain

Hello,
I’m Matt and I’ve just purchased a 2010 3.6 RRS IN BLACK..think I paid a reasonable price as I’ve waited a month and followed the advert and struck when I thought the time was tight
He wanted @£12,000 but I did a deal for £10,500 with just under 100,000 miles fully RR service history...allways wanted a RRS so I’m hoping my experience won’t be let down
Where can I get a spare key bought and programmed please

Thanks

Matt
