Hi
I drove my new Range rover 4.4 SDV8 Vogue SE back home yesterday.
Brilliant performance!
Only thing I don't understand is that it doesn't come with glass roof, I thought it's standard equipment, in fact it's not.
A little bit dispointing for this, other than that, I love very bit of it.

You would think so wouldn’t you that a £94 grand RR has one, didn’t you look at the as standard/option list before purchasing.

It will have air con so yer'll be ok. If it had a sun roof it may leak.

These are the afterthoughts that you could have used to haggle them down, is natural. Getting one you are happy with is more important than a leaky roof

I went and looked at a sport advertised with a panoramic roof, but it didn’t have one, they were very upset when I told them to keep it !

Yer being too harsh. Its possible it may leak. He's only just bought it. He's paid a lot of money for what is essentially a big Freelander, but with many more faults. Let him enjoy his new car for a bit before the problems start.

oh Hippo, i wish i won't have that kind of problems.
my wife has a dico4 for 3 years now, problems generated less than i expected. only a big problem generated after i did a tracking in Kwikfit ( power completed off when road surafce were wet). apart from that, everything is okay.
I had a RR 3.0 TDV6 (2004) before, very reliable.

called my local LR dealer yesterday and mentioned that no sun roof with my car. dealer said it should be a standard eqiupment for vougue se, but some buyers choose not to have it, because sometimes sun roof does have leaking and noising problem.
I just wish I can enjoy it for 3 years without problems (hopefully).

too many things on list, i didn't notice that.
i drove 210 miles to the dealer garage, then found it, i thought i drove so far, i don't want go with nothing, i can live it without it.
a little bit disappointing.

We can swop roofs as my D2 has 2 lovely sunroofs. By the way, they are covered in Gorilla tape and Sikaflex and you cant see out of them and they dont open.

Hopefully it will be ok. All joking aside... they're highly desirable by peeps who nick cars. If you haven't already got a tracking device fitted, it would be a good idea to consider fitting one.
