F*ck me, what genius put a light-duty gearbox in the Range Rover? They crapped out in Cadillacs and Holdens, which are 400 kg lighter. And they are not cheap to rebuild. Fucken junk, only good for a boat anchor.
5L40E transmission in a Range Rover

I'd never buy a Range Rover... over-engineered and expensive. I haven't heard great things about reliability. Manual transmission whenever possible!
Lots of cars like that. They’re for the rich folks. Daughter in law bought a Mercedes but after a few years she ran out of money :)
and the bozo who won Lotto and bought a Ferrari.... found out dealer logbook service cost $12,000 in the first year!
They are highly strung performance sports cars, what would you expect? Those types of cars crave constant attention and it costs. If you have the cash, buy one. If you haven't, then avoid.
