Oh FFS. I just typed a long reply about my experience with JLR products and the forum signed me out when I pressed submit and it’s all gone.

In short - looks good, nice materials, good ride, bad seats, UI annoying, minor niggles, constant fear of catastrophic engine failure.

Because of that fear I bought a BMW that immediately needed 100+ hours of work on the engine. Maybe don’t trust my judgement on this

Maurice still had his almost-the-same-car-in-different-dress <deep breath> Range Rover Velar P550 SV Autobiography last time I spoke to him. I think Velar has air springs instead of steel - can't fully recall. If you are interested I could prod him for insights?

Is the 2.0 diesel the worst offender, or does it apply to the v6 and v8 engines too?

I ask as a neighbour had a new e pace destroy itself within a few months and while waiting for a fix, the replacement e pace also imploded.

This one's just been listed, seems a good price. It's leggy, but condition is everything blah blah

I struggled to fit in YK's at Bedford when he kindly, as ever, let me have a drive. That was with a helmet though, but you're a tall chap as well iirc so watch out for that.

Ah, same engine as the SVR? Interesting. Makes sense, I guess. Yeah, be good to hear how it's gone. It's only theoretical at the moment, and something more chunky than the Yeti is definitely a 'want' rather than a 'need'.

I think it's just the 2.0d that's the bad one - some plastic pipe and water pump issues on the V6/V8. Not sure about the I6 that's on the facelift. Jobbo's shared a link on the prev page.
