Thread: Decisions, Decisions

Hi everyone i am totally new to the forums hopefully ill learn the ropes quickly,
Aanyway getting down to the issue, i have an 04 HSE Range Rover. We had a snow storm a couple weeks ago by now and since then i have been randomly getting inactive air suspension. I have had total air suspension failure on this care 3-4 times already at this point, but right now as soon as i think the suspension is totally broken it fixes itself although i do from time to time hear a hissing noise and the front of the car will sit lower kinda of like a drag racer, only to fix itself randomly. Now my other suv if you can call it that is an X6 5.0 amazing vehicle but again not a Range Rover. Its kinda of funny as much as i hated the vehicle i can't give it away now. I have a 335i a carrera s and an X6 all great cars, but after a day driving around in a 335i all day i just want to sit inside my rover again. So I am not entirely sure which direction to take at this point, I am thinking about going with a Range Rover supercharged Sport 2011 possibly an autobiography edition if I can nab one of the last ones out there or a 750, although reliability of course is an issue, but at the same time i don't think 3 bimmers is a great idea either, thoughts?

Get the 2011 SC, the interior alone is worth the upgrade. If you like sitting in your rover now...wait till you get the new one!

yeah the 06 ones were very nice and kinda of slow for a "sport" tagged car. Ill probably end up doing that

+1 on the new Rover. If you can ($-wise mostly), there is a new one. The Autobiography Ultimate Edition.

The new Full size rover will look different than the one above. I do love the one above though. But I would not waste money on the ipads so my 7 year old has something to play with.

yeah i got a friend an ipad for a gift and in all honesty im not an apple person although if those seats can fit a blackberry playbook then thats a different story well, im not up to speed i guess on the ultimate edition, how much are we talking about because i know the autobiography is something like 86K for sport and 135 for the full sized msrp, only problem is finding one at this point. By the way whats the spec/features for this ultimate edition any performance upgrades or just purely luxury( and what type of upgrades)

04s are sweet, welcome to L4P....... you can replace those airbags with coil springs and never have to worry about it again.

well as an update my suspension just failed for good on me yesterday and the alignment is off by a small margin, and braking issues are occurring im assuming due to the suspension and to top it of i got a grinding metal sound going on at random occasions how much to replace the airbags and the coil springs just out of curiosity?

Also is it even worth it because the car is 04 so it has 70k miles on it and if i turn it into the dealer at least when everything was working aka 2 days ago they would give me 16k for it, and with the reliability of this car i feel like im going to end up spending way more money to drive it and keep it running then i will if i just get rid of it

u jinxed urself...it knew u were talking about a replacement

Get the 2011 SC

ahahahah i know **** i totally did, although in all honesty i think i just blew out the compressor because i kept hearing a whistling sound like my tire was going flat and the car would lower itself front wheels only but then id start the car and with a big gulp of air the front would adjust to normal height
