2005 land rover Range Rover Sport reviews

Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2005

Hi, I took delivery of my 55 plate Rand Rover Sport supercharged on the 18th of October. Great cat at first, did what it says on the tin but very crap in the snow due to the tyres - it got stuck in a field due to coming off the road, even the different settings did not help. Two weeks ago it started knocking underneath, I took it to main dealer to solve problem and they charged me for new ball-joints. I got the car back, it is still knocking!! Took it back this Thursday, engineer said they do knock if you drive them hard through corners!! Rubbish!! The problem is still to be resolved and I am not paying for it this time, they are going to fit new anti-roll bar bushes then the next morning took it back again, engine management light came on due to incorrect egr valve fitted but I have to pay for new one even though there was a recall for them then the electronic handbrake was stuck on - I couldn’t shift the car since I have owned this vehicle it has had 12 faults with it... not good on a 50k vehicle!! I’d go for the X5 - better reliability!!! Or the ugly Cayenne. The power of the vehicle is good and fuel consumption isn’t too bad on a long run, around the 18mpg mark, sometimes near 22 if you drive steady. Comfy, great looks but in conclusion... totally rubbish!!!!!!!!!!
