    I'm sorry, but 18 months between 2 oil changes? Omg... Thus this is a huge vehicle the engine has to work harder than for example in an A6 3.0 V6TDI. It means more wear, earlier fillup with dirt in the oil (and it's filter).... If I'd own one of these awesome cars, I'd definitely do an oil and filter change, A/C system flush and fillup if it is needed, every 8-10 000miles/12months, and gearbox and transfer case oil change every 50-60 000miles. It helps so many things to keep it in good shape... (and I'm no bullshiter, I'm a student of vehicle engineering in our University). If you change them like what I said, there will no opportunity for the dirt in the oil to seize so many things, like turbo's oiling tubes and so on... Othervise my absolute favorite vehicle, just one thing: I'd bought it with the 3.6 TDV8.

    Hi there my friend! nice review i must say. I currently own a Mitsubishi Shogun Animal 4x4. The only issues with them is they rust heavily underneath. I do like the Land Rover Discoveries and sport models but kind of put off with comment faults they have like suspension, electronic hand brake, steering wheel motor failure, horn failure, locking & engine start and so on. If you don't mind me asking......what's the insurance on this model, road tax and what the year....:)

    They are certainly comfortable, my wife and I tried several SUVs from Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, X5 amongst others and none matched the comfort of the sport. If you want the ultimate the Autobiography. Also there's a reasonable range of engines. I think due diligence is the name of the game, I bought independent and will have any work done by a local independent LR specialist. My wife suffers with a bad back and the RRS got her seal of approval. Good searching.
