    Good Points: Confort, very high quality of used materials, handling (especially cornering at high speeds), sound system and exceptionall off-road capabilities.


    Bad Points: German electronics which equip my car is execrable (like in all the german cars comparing with the japanese). I have all the time little annoyances (doors lockers open ans close in driving, a faulty bit error with EAS, the tailgaite opens depending the BECM wish) but they are erratic and no really dangerous.


    General comments: I have a Range Rover 2,5 dse from 2001 and 251.358 km on board.In this years was necessary to change: radiator (~300 euro), air springs (~275 euro), brake pads (~1000 euro), brake disks - front and rear (~200 euro), filters - air, pollen,oil,fuel (300 euro), battery (~50 euro), and few lamps, all about 2000 euro. All parts are OEM from Bearmach UK. Oil and fuel is not calculated.For me is nothing in 8 years and a sttagering 250.000 km.I have three friends with Toyota Land Cruiser (no. 1 for reliability in reviews). All three are spent over 10,00 euros each for replacing various parts, including transfer gearbox, rear differential, clutches, injection system, all the bushes etc. in less than five years and no more than 120.000 km. They are very jealous on me and my car. And for good reason, because my Range Rover is not only more reliable but it beats all, equally on-road and mainly off-road (where is the King). I don't know why the people here tells these frightening stories, because I know another 50 owners of Range Rover P38 and all are very satisfied with their cars and, most notably with their reliability in years and kilometers.I believe this people are not comparing their Range Rover with nothing and I see they are use the cars only few tousand kilometers and a couple of years. It is not revealing.

    Ok, after reading the previous comments I ' m already worried! I traded my perfectly in shape 2002, f-350, on 39.5" tires, 8.5" lift, with turbo upgrade, 600 hp chipped, in excellent condition pick up for a 2000 range with a 2.5l BMW turbo diesel.... Don ' t say nothing.... I know...now!
    Having this British/German wonder model for less than a month I have to say: very comfy....but that ' s where it stops! No kick, that turbo isn ' t much bigger than my watch, electrical problems all day and now ...

    If only they had put a decent air suspension system in, it would be the perfect 4x4. I took mine on a 3500 miles round trip to southern France and it was so good, plenty of space for 3 adults and a child and all the luggage. Two months after we returned air suspension went, so expensive to fix, sold the car straight after I had it done. But when ever I see them I wish they had put a decent system in so I could keep one and trust it.

    It's a good, comfy car and certainly looks good!
    However, I have a huge list of bad points! My Range Rover 2.5 Turbo Diesel is less than a year old and you mostly see businessmen driving them but I bought this one myself and so far in 9 months I have paid £8369 on repair bills! If you think about it you can by a small car with that! My electric windows only work when they want to and the satellite navigation screen often goes completely white and is being fixed for a whopping £1500! ...

    I have always wanted a Range Rover 2.5 Turbo Diesel 4x4 and I finally sucumbed to temptation. The 2.5 diesel turbo BMW engine with manual gearbox is the most economical of the bunch so is probably the best choice at 20 to 30 mpg.

    It looks the part and the driving position is great. I never get used to looking down at the lights to see the next driver through his sunroof!

    But the build quality is abysmal. In six months (and with a good history of servicing etc) this 4x4 has got through two ...
