Joys of land rover driving I’ve loved mine so far even with the niggles walk past the six series every time to get in it

Impressive doing that on a driveway but they are designed for the body to be taken off like that. More than likely the front to rear brake lines have corroded and need replaced!

Folks 2014-2015 range rover sport diesel with 40k miles. Are these in anyway reliable or should they be avoided for reliability issues? A Family member is interested in one and has asked me my opinion. I've no experience with them in any form.

Don’t buy one without a comprehensive warranty

I would assume JLR warranty is big for these? What's the main things to look out for or go wrong on them? Maybe better listing the things that don't? Lol

I'm trying to put them off and steer towards a Q5 - Q7 but can see the appeal of them, looks wise etc.

Wife’s disco sport warranty is £1200 with LR which I do not want to pay but could be a while before it sells.

Q7 can also be a nightmare
@Jas Lad can advise better than me.

Are they really that much of a problem reliability wise?

Yes from my experience, I avoid them unless someone asks me to get one, new shape x5 isn’t bad tbh

X5 from 2016-2016 are they OK in general?

That's good to know as i like them myself but can't help but feel the new shape has dated them a wee bit now :/

Yea the new one has really put years on it. Still a nice place to be, but expensive for late models compared to latest.

Bar a CV joint I knew about when buying and a busted air valve on one of the tyres mines been very reliable for the last month. Good 350 mile round trip with the family to Mlihide and Dublin. 04 RR Vogue with 70k, 4.4 V8.

I had a nosey at a few myself today and I agree. They look great till there's a new one Beside the older one.

Avoid the JLR warranty. Go 3rd party with warranty direct.
