Is This A Reliable Car
After almost 50 years in the auto business I can attest to the fact that they are one of the most unreliable and expensive vehicles to maintain. Land Rovers are for those people who want to say "hey, look at me, I drive a LR. I may not be a smart consumer but I do know about bling". If you buy new and trade every couple of years, then drive whatever you like. If you are buying for the long haul and don't want to pay through the nose for maintainence this is one to avoid. How do I reset the sunroof control module on a 2008 Land Rover LR2? Sunroof stopped working after a voltage spike. I replaced the fuse, but have heard there's a process to reset the control module (before I replace the switch or motor). I have an LR2 (Freelander) 2009 Model. I keep getting error code P0534 in a LR2 Land Rover. It's a 2010, 3.2L Engine. How do I fix it? I keep getting error code P0534 in a LR2 Land Rover. It's a 2010, 3.2L Engine. How do I fix it?

Owners of the LR 2 have complained of humming, grinding, and differential problems. I BOUGHT MY LAND ROVER LR2 HSE BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN NJ ON MAY 31, 2008 . IN MID 2012, AT 45K MILES RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, I STARTED TO HEAR A DISTURBING HOWLING OR HUMMING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHICH IS GETTING MUCH LOUDER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT GOT WORSE AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 2K MILES, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2013. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL (RDIFF) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE NOISE. 2321. THIS CAR HAS AN ALMOST UNUSED REAR SEAT AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD AND 80% OFF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA IN MAY TO OPEN A CASE AND ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR SINCE I FOUND THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY PREMATURE FOR A HIGH END SUV. 500 TOWARDS THE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE - THEY FOUND THAT, WHEN THEY ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE SUPPLIER IS GETTING THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL 4-5 TIMES PER MONTH. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT ON A 3 YR OLD CAR WITH THE SUPPOSED DURABILITY OF A LR THAT IS DRIVEN ONLY ON REGULAR ROADS (NO OFF ROAD DRIVING WHICH SUPPOSEDLY CAN BE DONE IN A LAND ROVER). I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM CHECKED BY 4 SEPARATE MECHANICS AND THEY ALL TOLD ME IT IS A PINION BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE LOCAL LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND READING SEVERAL LAND ROVER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON. 3,800). SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

Door inserts and dashboard panels can be matched to the FJ Cruiser's exterior color. FJ Cruisers are available in rear-wheel and 4-wheel-drive configurations; they all use the same 4.0-liter V-6 engine. The 2010 Toyota Highlander received a new 4-cylinder base version for 2009.

A: As we mentioned earlier, Land Rover has been owned by various parent companies over the past several decades. As a result, some of its engines are made by Land Rover itself in the U.K. Q: How long do Land Rover engines last? A: As with all engines, the lifespan of a Land Rover鈥檚 engine depends on the level of care and maintenance it receives. With regular care and maintenance at the appropriate intervals, Land Rover engines can last for 200,000 or more. First introduced in 2009, the Land Rover LR4 鈥?known in other regions as the Discovery 4 鈥?was produced until 2016 and enjoyed a great deal of popularity during its lifespan. It was available with either a V6 or V8 engine in various sizes. The Land Rover LR3 鈥?known as the Discovery 3 in other regions 鈥?was available from 2005 to 2009 and was the predecessor to the LR4. The exceptionally tough and durable LR3 with either a V6 or V8 engine in an array of sizes. Although it shares the name letter and number pattern of the LR4 and LR3, the Land Rover LR2 was not a part of the Discovery line in other regions.
With newer models of cars being offered by automakers you can sense that they are getting bigger and bigger. Take for example, the new Saturn Vue, with its European styling, it was made bigger and bolder. But Mazda took the path less traveled and came out with a new Mazda2 that was smaller than the previous one. And why would Mazda take the route less traveled. I guess that the market calls for it. What this means is that the mew Mazda2 will be a lot cooler than its predecessor. How did the engineers at Mazda make the new Mazda2 to be smaller and lighter but still have the features of its predecessors? They used ultra-high-tensile chrome vanadium and nickel alloyed steel on the body of the car. The result is the new Mazda2 which weighs about 50 lbs less than its predecessor. If you want a closer look at the new Mazda2, you can visit dealerships or you can visit this site where they have a gallery of the new Mazda2. The real reason behind the smaller Mazda2, according to its designer Ikuo 鈥淪peedy鈥?Maeda, is for it to 鈥渓ook best in the streets of Europe鈥?
