2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

5 weeks after purchase.....

After having had a Freelander 1.8K series, from new, for the last 14 years as my daily I thought a change was overdue.

5 weeks ago I purchased a 2010 RRS HSE 3.0TDV6 in Santorini Black. And what do I think of it? Hmmmmmm well after the first week it went back as only normal height was selectable...Fixed. Then a few days later I noticed it was sitting at a different height at each corner, back it went...after the compressor was fitted they didn't recalibrate the suspension,,,now fixed.

I am now hooked it drives great and is so comfortable and easy to drive, don't know why I didn't buy one sooner.

I'm even getting better economy than my Freelander, currently at 25mpg mainly short distance town driving.

Just one niggle on hard acceleration some smoke from the exhausts ( read the threads and checking it out)

I think its Santorini Black but no paint code sticker in the usual, passenger door..... is there any other way of telling?

Looks nice, you now need black side vents and grill.

Smoke from the exhaust could be when the second turbo kicks in, this is a know problem.
