hi all first of all i have sold my FFRR unfortunatley due to the SDSR and for those who read my random ramblings will understand. i have now got to look to the future so it had to go.

this site has been funny imformative and very very useful, i will pop back now and again but to all who have helped me out with wisdom and avice thank you. it has been great owningand driving the best 4x4. good luck i am in process of buying a FL2 so staying with the green oval  02 Range Rover HSE Zambezie silver 4.4

Hello to all,

I've recently acquired my first FFRR, and learned a big lesson pretty quickly! That there is no such thing as a cheap Range Rover. I paid a low price for a car needing attention, but am now thinking perhaps i should have paid more for one not needing quite so much tlc.

The main problems have been:

PCV and breather assembly pipes all needed replacing
Tappet noise, yet to be fixed.
MAF just replaced to try to address poor fuel economy and stalling

Still need to find the final fix for the tappet noise, trying some Wynns Hydraulic lifter fluid, car is running 100% better than when I got it, but I'll not be really happy until I have a quiet engine. I'll live with the VANOS rattle, but don't like the knock.

Oh and for good measure I went and broke one of the rear lights on Sunday whilst reversing (have to start listening to the PDC). Still a good excuse to upgrade to supercharger rear lights, not sure whether to go for full clear, or red/ clear?

Anyway, despite it all, I love the car. I've always wanted a Range Rover, and never expected it to be cheap. Plus it's actually saving me money on fuel - I had a 740i before, and it didn't have the benefit of LPG as the RR has! So saving myself 30-50% on fuel costs!

Anyway, I'll stop rambling, and hope that I can take advantage of the accumulated wisdom on the forum!

Cheers,

David Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!
