2 whole years

This is my 7th range rover and has made it 2 whole years before breaking down. Within 5 miles of getting home it went in to reduced performance, so limped home. called LR assist who said they would have some one out between 6.15 and 6.45, not bad.
just phoned back, it will be between 8 and 8.30 tomorrow morning, good job I have something else to go to work in tomorrow.
Am I wrong to be underwhelmed. letters not necessarily in the right order

2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

My elderly TD6 took nearly 3 years, although plenty has gone wrong in that time.

I think yours didn't leave you by the side of the road so technically it's got you home.

Do you know what's wrong with it?

Dixy, interested to hear how many miles you did in those 2 years to put things in perspective... Mike.

2009 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Santorini Black

Well I managed three weeks.....
Been driving the car a bit Miss Daisy but hoofed it this morning and under full throttle I get a staged acceleration. Fits and starts. Tried it a few times and third time I got a management fault on dash and nurse me home mode. Restarted the engine and got full power but still this surge/loss of power.
As the management light is off, will miss daisy it over to Bristol and kick off TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.
TDV8 Sport. Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!
Other toys in the cupboard.......
