The Range Rover P38 followed by eight hundred and fifty two expletives. I simply can’t believe the difficulties we’re having with the vehicle. We bought it knowing that it had been used hard and was likely to throw up problem that many other P38s succumb to but I hadn’t expected it to spend half its time being fixed.
There’s widespread agreement that this second generation Range Rover does have a reliability problem but, if I’m fair about it the troubles are the sort of thing you’d expect for a tired vehicle.
Three of the four wheel bearings have now been replaced. If they’re original they’ve done better than our Defender two of which expired at about 80,000 mile, nearly half what the Range Rover has managed.
The gearbox needing a rebuild is another problem that’s brought on by heavy use. We did nothing to accelerate its demised, as it failed within just a couple of thousand miles of us buying it. It had simply been well used.
