My parents have just been to France with ssome friends in a brand new Range Rover. While they were there the rear suspension collapsed, leaving them stranded. My folks came home by Eurostar but the people whose car it is decided to wait until it was fixed and drive it home (not sure what the outcome was). I've mentioned this to a few people and have heard of two other instances of this happening with the hydro-pneumatic suspension on Range Rovers (Oh how Citroen must be laughing). Not sure what the problem was with two of them, but one had a blowing exhaust which destroyed some of the pipework/seals and down she came. Luckily they were only doing ten miles an hour in a car park. But on the motorway it could have been very serious.
Might be worth putting it in the "What's bad" section of the car breakdown.
Cheers
Chris
