Glad to hear that it's going to be sorted out this week. Back to your idea of creating a thread on potential problems, great idea, and many thanks for raising it.

Yea i think its a good idea; they have had these types of threads on previous cars forums (cars i have previously owned) and was very convient for those that had problems to quickly point them in the right direction for repair.

The same code was thrown again. The car is back in the shop! The problem is that the purge valve solenoid always remains open. Last time they reeplaced the whole valve. Im think its an electircal issue that makes it remain open. The code was thrown after 200 miles. First land rover and my wifey is getting pissed. Been in the shop two times in less than a month and a half.

I've got mine and, after 600 km., the coolant circuit leaked and I got a message for empty coolant circuit. So I had to go to LR to fix it. They gave me a replacement car (a Volvo) for the time being repaired (now 2 weeks because some piece was broken and I must wait for that piece to arrive).

I experienced lots of problems with my Audi TT but only after 4 and a half years and 75.000 km.

Let's cross fingers and expect no more problems !!!

I just had the check engine light come on after about 2,000 miles. The dealer said the code was for a faulty purge valve but that when they tested it, it checked out. They have ordered a new purge valve in case the problem persists.

I also had a problem with the seal around the passenger window.

dspeck welcome to the forum, the window seal is a known problem - I highlighted to my dealer after my first long drive (490 miles) on Evoque launch day last September. I believe that LR now has a modified seal that dealers can fit if you have the same problem

Problems so far:
1. Torqued a-pillar
2. Squeaky front windscreen seal
3. Inside courtesy lights dont go on (fuse?)
4. Side bolsters in seat pan are painfully sharp
5. Engine coolant low warning after 15k kms
6. GPS and Toll tags do not seem to work so well through the front windscreen, but works fine through the roof
7. Accidentally pressing one of the suspension mode buttons slows the car without warning and can easily cause an accident
8. Rear camera is a bit buggy when you first start up
9. Windscreen wipers go off now and then, for no reason, if you leave them on auto
10. Rear door would not open, issue fixed a few days after vehicle was purchased

Basically, nothing much to complain about. However, a month ago we wrapped up a list of some 275-improvement suggestions, in a petition to Range Rover, and this petition contained about 50 common problems with RRE.
