Rover rant

[CMGRover]

Anyone else feel like keeping a list of broken crap on their LR is a full time job?
My fog lights don't work, cruise control doesn't work, I have a suspension fault, and woke up to it sitting very low, the doors don't lock all the time, and who knows what will go wrong next?

I mean, I knew it wouldn't be as reliable as a Jeep...but come on! Don't get me wrong, I love the ride, the handling, and the comfort....when it works.

Rant over.

And yet I've had zero problems with mine (knock on wood).

Sorry to hear you are having troubles. I don't think it's typical. Our 05 had teething issues being new software but updates fixed most of the problems we had. The other problems we had were covered under TSB's and recalls.

Right there with ya brother!!!

current list-
Transmission Fault
Hood swears its open alllll the time, therefor cant lock it or my alarm goes off and says "hey im right here, steal me"
Airbag cover on the steering wheel just feels like it has to peel up
Not to mention how wore out the crappy leather on the stearing wheel is, i guess 46,000 miles is tooooo long for it to hold up

and on top of that.....huge crack in my windshield this morning...but it doesnt affect the heating elements because only half of them worked before!

But i wont lie....I love mine still

Excessive washing may lead to premature electrical failure

My current list includes a slightly low right front corner (need to recalibrate height sensor) and one sticking door lock. Been successfully ignoring both for a while now

And I can't enact the Lemon Law... I bought it used.

No problems with mine!...Suspension fault is prob. a bad compressor like we told you in a prior thread. Have you had it checked out yet? Everyone must realize you will replace the compressor at some point in time. Did mine twice under warranty in 96,000 miles. As for the fog lights and cruise control why dont you bring it in and get it resolved instead of ranting.

I've had my share of electrical gremlins with the christmas tree faults too. I've had a few Rovers, and I associate the experience of owning a land rover to having a child with special needs. no matter the challenges and frustrations; you still love it unconditionally.

I associate it with having a really smokin' hot girlfriend who happens to be high-maintenance. She might be a pain in the ass, but worth it for the performance.

I think it's pretty obvious I'm with you. I've had multiple issues with mine lately. Just when I think all the bugs are out of it, I get a check engine light. Just a broken temperature guage, but it's another $180 (with extended warranty) and a half-day at the dealership.
