United Kingdom 2009 Range Rover SE TDV8 Stornoway Grey
How long have you owned your FF?

I've owned mine since I joined this forum in February 2009. Coming up to 6 years of ownership now. I have been more than happy with this car and don't feel any need to sell it yet!

Switzerland 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

It'll be 5 years in May.

It's done 130k miles and is 12 years old, so it's not worth selling and still does all the work I want it to. It shows its age by being slow and noisy, and having ancient electronics.

Think I'll keep it for a few years yet. Rather than replacing it I've bought other cars for regular stuff like commuting.

England 2005 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Java Black

Had mine 7 years.

3yrs old when I bought it (so around half the then list price).

Now done 106k - still drives well and looks good.

I do have the FF twitch ....those heart-sinking moments when you here BOING!!!!! Thinking OH NO What Now!!??!!

- only to look down to see "Ext Temp 3.0" ..... 0r "Low Screenwash" !!!!!

But that comes with FF ownership

I’ve had that “BONG” panic moment too. Happily so far it’s only been “Tailgate open” or “Release handbrake” or low temperature, etc. BONGs.
The car is now over 10 years old (I’ve had it for 5+) and it’s only got 110,000 km (+/- 70,000 miles) on the clock. I worry about age-related problems now – coolant hoses and suchlike so I keep my fingers crossed. Unfortunately I have no garage to work in. I’m sure otherwise I’d have done a lot more preventive work on it.
I’m at that stage in life when I don’t drive that much now, and I’m hoping it’ll be the last car I ever have (or need). That way I’ll die happy! It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.
20 years ownership of Solihull products, ALL GONE NOW, sniff!
Current motor: Suzuki S-Cross 4WD auto, 1.4 petrol. Oh so reliable! 5 years now and no problems. Oh, all right then, a leaking shocker replaced under guarantee.

3 years with this one Thumbs Up bought it on 42k I think, now on 72k so mild use but it does get under your skin. It's the only new car I could be bothered to work on!
Tempted by a newer one but can't see the point There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Just over 3 years.

Still love it.

The only thing that bothers me is the "price to change" to a later one. It can't be that much more car !

I'd love a 4.4 TDV8 but can't see me managing the change cost, even for a few years......

I keep getting the V10 RS6 itch though......

SWMBO says TDV8 but don't know if I have suffered enough with the reliability. Mine was a blue one! Smile

Just 4 months, but so far so good Thumbs Up

It had been a 2 year break and my last 2 were in-fact Sports, although I've had the Defender in the meantime giving me my Green Oval fix Thumbs Up
