Land Rover Range Rover (2002 - 2012) 4.4 V8 HSE 4d Auto Owner Review

It has cost me a lot of money in fuel and maintenance over the nearly 16 years I have owned it but I knew it would when I bought it. It is however a magnificent car. It feels a lovely place to be when you are in it. Comfort levels are very high and you can drive all day and still feel fresh when you get there. With the rear seats folded you can carry enormous amounts of things in the boot. It is the only car I know that you could use as a builders skip one day and a luxury wedding car the next (which I have done). Despite the size it is easy to park and to manoeuvre because you can see all the extremities easily. I love it and will keep it until it is no longer viable. I have had problems over the years with the air suspension and am now on my third alternator at nearly 19 years old and 139,000 miles. However parts are not as expensive as some people think. I had it converted to run on LPG a couple of years after I bought the car. LPG is currently around 60p per litre and has saved me a lot of fuel costs over the years as well as being very clean compared to petrol (and of course diesel). The 4.4 litre petrol V8 in mine sounds fantastic. It is not the fastest car in the world, especially by today’s standards but it wafts along beautifully and makes every journey a pleasure. I love it.
