Good morning all,
So this is my first venture into the world of Range Rovers so please bear with me! I picked the 2002 Vogue (with a later facelift) up from London where its spent the last few years and drove it 160 miles north to Lincolnshire. To be fair it made it all the way home with minimal fuss. I was making mental notes of the things i noticed that need sorting and the list goes:
i) Oils and filters
ii) Definitely needs an Aircon re-gas
iii) The info strip below the speedo and rev is really pixelated so i cannot read any faults on it
iv) Hook up to diagnostic re above to see what's hiding in the system
v) I noticed a very slight slipping of gears (reminiscent of clutch slip) happened one or twice
vi) sounded like a slight groan/moan from the L/H side a couple of times, bearings maybe?
vii) Cruise control didn't work or i didn't know how to activate? button on steering wheel pressed but nowt
viii) will put into Land Rover to sit through a proper service (see i))
I have wing mirror glass replacement on both sides on order and a bonnet cable to replace, also on order
Then its just a case of getting used to the size of it
If anyone has any ideas/help for the above list of things then I would love the benefit of your experience.
