thinking of buying a 90

I was really nervous when I ordered ours especially for long runs. Me and wife (she drives most of the time) love it. Only downsides are the ride is bit choppy and the 60ltr fuel tank (fixable with Frontrunner tank)
Took it for first long drive over the weekend which included towing trailer with digger at about 3 tons for a bit. Handled it all and was surprisingly good cruising.
As most on this forum say it does put a smile on yer face! Even wife who prefers horses to cars says she enjoys driving it.

You can make the ride much better if you drop the tyre pressures to about 30 psi all round.

I'll ask my daughter.....once I can get that grin off her face when she drives her recently acquired 90.

I have only let SWMBO drive it once so far, Lucky she doesnt like manuals (even though she has one herself) so I get to drive all the time:)

Yeah did the 30psi thing the day I picked it up and found there was over 40 in the tyres..Dropped to 25 the other day in the bush and so much better..quite comfortable!

Like everyone else, I absolutely love my 90, but...
Build quality i low and you need to be mentally prepared for the possibility of warranty returns to the dealer.
I have had two diff pinion seals replaced (under warranty) and in heavy rain water has started to make its way in somewhere around the windscreen and pool behind the dash. The car is not even 9 months old!


Would I have anything else? NO way.

No problems with water leaks with mine but I've had the rear pinion seal replaced three times and then the flange was ordered from the UK and fitted.. no more leaks! (mine is 7 months old).

Is it a problem for me? Nope.. I have not had an issue with Land Rover in regard to getting the problem fixed.. it would have only been a problem if they didn't fix it. It's also not just Land Rover that have issue with some of their cars.. my father spent more than a hundred grand on a new Land Cruiser that has probably spent more time in the workshop than on the road (and they have been ****s about fixing it), we had similar problems with our new Nissan Navara when we bought it too.. all brands will have some issues.. but as I said it is only a problem if it's not fixed..

And ditto.. I wouldn't have anything else either!:)
