    RR SS 2010 v. 2012

    Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2010 v. 2012 Thinking about trading up from the 2006 LR3 SE V8 to a Range Rover Sport Supercharged. I love the LR3, but driving up and down I70 to ski, I feel like I would like something a bit more 'ballsy', yet still capable enough to do some moderate (4-7)...

    Ford ESP Warranty Term Suggestions Please

    i've got a Ford ESP Premium Care - when I bought - the terms extended the original Factory Warranty. So - when I got the 7/100K warranty, because of the extension nature, it really functions like a 3/50K warranty. Don't know if that still the case - but it has definitely been worth the money

    Loud Fan and Reduced Throttle

    its a 2006 - gas cap is definitely not the issue - i can get it to come on like clock work running 91 octane, in grass,gravel,snow mode going up loveland pass from a-basin .. been in the dealer twice b/c of it - agree its screwy.

    If you have the Heated Windscreen...

    i think if you use the "program setting" its time shorter due to the blast of air at the windshield (aka defroster). but if you just use the button by itself, it may stay on longer. this am it was really cold here and the heated windshield stayed on for all 15 minutes of my commute.

    If you have the Heated Windscreen...

    i don't know.. but i suspect the amount of time it stays on is temperature related. i noticed that when it was -8 here in colorado a week back, it stayed on much longer than when it is 32ish.

    no issues from my dealer either. sounds like you're dealer wants you to buy a different set of tires that he offers :)

    snow vs. slush

    wet snow is by far worse to drive in that dry snow. depending on the tread pattern, you'll most likely end up "hydroplaning" instead of cutting through it.

    LR3 winter snow hill ice - what to choose???

    bob - you'll be fine. i've driven a lot of different cars and suvs on ice and snow (northern michigan guy) and the LR3 handles great. you'll be fine. the key as has been mentioned, is to go slow. its better to use the engine to brake you than the brakes. but, don't be afraid to use the brakes...

    Do you regret keeping it past warranty?

    CMGRover - you gotta quit whining and hedging your bets with your LR ownership. you're either all in or not. seems like its time to remember why you bought the LR, embrace that, and not worry about the future.. if you can't remember that original feeling, check out the top gear episode where...
