sorry my bad, shouldn't have typed LR4 Yes, actually i mean the newer RRSS like those of MY2010-2011 onwards. Should these be better? reliability / fit & finish i mean

They're made on the same line - one LR4, one RRS, one LR4, one RRS, etc.

Eight LR4 then one RRS.  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

how sad ..... seems to me that one by one all original forum members are turning their backs on the RRS and move to different brands and eco-friendly non 4x4 cars. and I am beginning to wonder why you guys got you a LR in the first place.  SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

I thought long and hard when my last RRS was due to go back about what to replace it with,originally decided it had to be a FFRR but couldn't afford the prices which had shot up after Christmas because of the snow.
I considered a Q7,A6 Offroad,X6,Volvo,Toureg and a Cayenne but none of them are without issues and once specced up to HSE level none were much cheaper.
Having had my new one for a few months now there are some things which I prefer such as the engine performance and seats but others such as the interface for music,sat nav and phone is much worse and for some reason a common issue on other cars is paint,mine is horrendous in terms of finish and resilience to scratching/chipping.

So I guess the question is given I need a large car with proper 4X4 what are the alternatives given the clear QC issues at LR and unfortunately for me there isn't one that does the job as well,within budget without any similar issues.
We have an X6 arriving in a couple of weeks,I'm looking forward to driving that and comparing it with mine,will report back and do a side by side comparison. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I would have kept the RRS but because of the poor MPG it was a wise move to sell it, that coupled with the cars age and the miles I had done. I didn't want to have a car like the RRS after 3 years with no warranty and high mileage. I have a new E-class now which I got a good deal on, I got free servicing for 3 years, at least 1/3 better mpg, £250 cheaper road tax a year, cheaper monthly payments, cheaper insurance etc. etc. I will be saving in the region of £5k a year by switching.

BUT IT;'s NOT A RRS!!!!!!!!!  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Fm all the comments i've been reading these short 48 hrs fm various LR forum, i gather that there's a groundswell of resentment fm owners who have had it above & beyond fm shoddy built quality/ electrics that is worse then a prima donna on her worse day (very frequent i might add) & indifference from LR & their agents (some are good but most that i've read are left very much to be desired)

I would take most of the negative comments on forums with a pinch of salt

They arent actually that bad or any worse than any other make - but there are a lot of wingers AND the most important difference, certainly in the UK, most of the dealers are just S t

Ive take service actions for an issue in from LR and the dealer still didnt get it Mike

Not sure what you mean do you really think people make up the problems with their cars?
if it wasn't for forums such as this with people reporting back all the issues and bringing them to the attention of others car manufacturers could claim that more problems are just 1 offs not experienced by anyone else.
My glove box lid is a perfect example they aren't doing anything because not enough customers are complaining so the cost of low quality is low.If more people complained publicly they would sort it out. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

If the merc is reliable, cheap to run , everything the RRS is not, will you be changing your name to "Slightly Annoyed"??? MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG

And more importantly Dom, will you be stepping down as a Mod?

Forums only represent a fraction of people and of which i bet you would find 50+% of those only come to a forum to seek advice or to air a grievance and are not regular.

You could then argue that of that people who have bothered to find a forum are likely to be more vocal/more angry/more anti something - the next result - even if you add all the forum users they wouldnt total 10% of sales - then of that if only 50% of them have a problem then thats 5%...overall not very representative of a problem

Go further and compare the % volume of sold across makes and it become even less representative.

So what i was getting at is, people on forums are more likely to highlight issues and for those to be documented, that of those - the significance against volume produced is low...hence why i would take the real negative comments with a pinch of salt.


Still blame the dealers more than the vehicle Mike
