Same here! Had many problems with the Range Rovers?

I have a 2006 E53 X5 and looking forward to placing my order for the E70 once all the early production gremlins are sorted.

I was employed at Land Rover for 17 years until most recently. I Witnessed many problems and defects with both models. The only blessing was that the L322 (FF Range Rover) was designed by BMW and built using the same production processes as the X5 Manufacturing facility in Spatanburg. The components used were also BMW sourced and made.

Most recently the FF Range Rover and RRS have undergone some major changes with the mechanicals -; engine and electrical system being sourced from Ford, i.e. Jaguar/volvo. The result is only too obvious by the number of complaints from the owners of these vehicles on various Range Rover and Land Rover owner forums.

The RRS is basically built on the same platform as the D3 (Discovery) another problematic Land Rover vehicle, with most defects being shared by the RRS.
