Many owners have had similar problems with Land Rover.
Here some examples:
- ACC display and functional problems
- Fuel feeder pump in tank doesn't work
- ABS pump that doesn't work
- Exhaust that breaks after low mileage
- Engine break down
- Automatic transmission break down
- Central locking that doesn´t work
- Stereo/CD doesn´t work when cold
- Wheel angles not OK
- Brakes that do not last ($400 for a brake hose? A similar part for a military jet would be cheaper. Don't believe anything the dealers tell you.In Asia & Africa, the Range Rover/Land Rover have largely been supplanted by Toyota Land Cruiser.
Now we know why.)
- Oil leaks from engine & transmission
- Air suspension either too low or high
- Earth connections that corrodes = electrical malfunctions
- Central computer BECAM that goes wrong
- Fueses and relay central behind battery destroyed every 2'nd year due to battery acid vapour
- Steering column shake/play
- Water leaks upper side front screen
- Corrosion various places
- Alarm problems.

My advice:
Buy a 2003 and up Range Rover, or for all you others living in Qatar 2002 and up.
They are basically BMW X5's on extended platforms with better off-rad capability.
Let's see 4 Range Rovers, a 1995, 1999, 2002 and a 2004.
The 2004 is expensive, but so worth it!
The 2002 has the extended warranty and has not been that bad so far, but the 1995 and 1999 needed head gaskets at 65000 miles!
The quality seemed to somewhat improve around 2000 for the existing design, but still was not great.
The new ones are amazing.
Build quality are not an issue as they once were.
So far, knock on wood, it has not broken down!
The new LR3 is amazing, but is really just a Ford SUV.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

500'000km hassle free from major problems on highway, if serviced on the time interval specified from manufacturer.
OR
200'000 hassle free from major problems on the streets of Doha, if serviced on HALF of the time interval specified from manufacturer.
the engine on the rovers are supposed to be phenomenal....
i have a seen a 90 model pajero still running and its clocked in excess of 400,000 ......so go figure,...
It depends at what speed. But some lasted a half a million kilometers and more.
