Hi,
Recently bought it. Nice car, very comfortable, especially after coming from Hondas'

It has a nice air suspension system. The sports mode makes the car growl !
Do post your comments. Will post some more pics.
Sam- I will need your help in taking good res pics as you normally do.

(Still miss our Honda) :(
Regards,
Aamir

Congrats on the ride, they're probably some of the best looking rovers in my opinion ..

I had a 98 Range Rover similar to that ... let me give you a suggestion, head to AAA in rashidya or Al Quoz and ask them about the air suspension to steel spring replacement ...
The biggest problem with these cars is the air suspension, it keeps giving up ... so what they do is they remove the air suspension unit completely and fit the springs from the previous model range rovers ... Not expensive compared to what you'll be paying for, for the repairs of the EAS (electronic air suspension) system ...

I wouldn't suggest taking it for service to Al Tayer since they don't really know how to 'REPAIR' these cars incase anything goes wrong ... at most they are good at 'replacing' things, but that also depends.

Its a comfortable car, quiet car (depending on its mood of course) and has an amazing driving position :D

Whatever you do, don't abuse it cause it tends to get very expensive ;)

@Stone-head. Yeah I heard that too. Range rovers of 98-00 had german engines. I am not sure whether its BMW or not.

@Irakli. Thanks man. I had given the car to AAA in Al-Quoz for servicing. I know they are the best ones to service Range Rovers. The cost of replacing Air Suspension to Springs is 3700 dhs. But I decided against it. I am happy with the air suspension setup. If I change it to Coil springs, I might as well buy a rav 4 or a patrol. I dont want to ruin it !

" If you Abuse the car, It will Abuse you later ". and I agree with the statement. Any car which is driven with care.... will last longer.

Thanks for the comments.
Regards,
Aamir

Honda will always have a special place. My first car was a Honda and in total I had 3 of them. Very Nice cars.
Highly recommended !

Will try to rebuild the Honda. If time and finance permits !!!
