Hi all,
I am the new kid on the block. My 05 Range Rove has radio issues. When I turn on the radio the screen reads presets, presets,presets. The radio goes off and on and will not stay on. Does anyone one have similar issues and how can this be fixed.
Thanks Donovan

117 miles in 10 years is a little difficult to believe.

my mom thought it was a scam too. But it just has that many miles on it. we even had our mechanic look at it to see if someone had wound back the millage thing. but he just never really drove it.

So you have a vehicle that is that old, and never had any service on it IMHO. There will be the plus of showroom new, but rubber things will have dry rotted just like regular ones. So hoses and belt, oil and filter, tranny fluid drain and refill. If it hasn't been cranked would treat cyclinders with oil to free up rings. Flush radiator, new coolant and distilled water. New battery.

Now that you have everyone's attention, how much did this set you back? And would you consider selling it (inquiring minds want to know)?

And BTW - congratulations.

it only cost me two grand. lol his wife forced him to sell it. something about her wanting the garage space. its actually been upkept and everything. i just want to replace the prop shaft because it most likely will need replacing according to you guys. but he took it to the dealer for oil changes and everything. it was a steal so i bought it

Might want to run a carfax, check brake pedal for worn rubber pad, trash in radiator fins, why would you have oil changed with no use?,, but if that's miles, we are all in awe. You go girl!
