Why does she hate it?

First chance since buying Rangie to take it off road. Went around the Sand Dunes at Stocton. What a blast this thing is just awesome and went through the sand like a knife through butter.

I got the best mileage i could have wished for, average 12.2 there and back to Canberra, is this good or what. The only thing i found a bit worrying is that the idle seems to be a little jumpy. Any ideas how to fix this. It just doesnt seem to idle well at all and nearly stalled at one set of lights.

No oil or coolent leaks, im thinking of putting the EAS back in, i havent had it before and have been told its better than coils i have now.

On a sad note, the Lovely Wife of mine hates the Rangie and i may be forced to sell, a last resort for me as i had planned to go right through the car and fix up what i thinke it needs and keep her forever, the car that is, the wife.................well thats another story.

Well done!!......welcome to Rangie paradise. I was the same when i first bought mine, and never ceased to amaze me how good this thing was off-road even on standard road tyres in extreme muddy conditions. I had an audience in absolute Awww!! As they saw this P38 climp a muddy slope that they'd struggled on vehicles with mud terrain tyres, lift kits, diff locks etc. That is why i just love these Range Rovers & Land Rover in general for that matter.

Definetaly put the EAS back, you won't regret it, makes the vehicle so much more capable and comfortable to drive.

Mate! I'd get rid of the wife before i'd part with the Range Rover. This is just not an option. Stand up to her. " if the Rangie goes, i go"

I might be interested. Can she cook?

Good to hear the (mostly) pleasing time!

I think sometimes the better-halves don't understand what the fuss is about, and mine is yet to feel it after 5 odd years of Rangieness!

12.2 average is really good! Especially with a bit of fun driving thrown in!

Keep up the good work and enjoy every moment mate!

My wife doesn't like the Rangie, either and won't drive it.

I think that's more of a 'I want to get home again' thing rather than a 'I hate Range Rovers' thing .

Welcome to the madness derpomz it sounds like the P38 bug has bitten

Funny thing that mine doesn't like the Rangie either( I think it's really just jealousy) but that's ok I'd rather she didn't drive it anyway
