Welcome to the club.

Ok Now what you have to do is get some mud on that thing. I truly believe that my Landy is never happier than when it has mud all over. It makes a lot of the noises go away. I think right now I have the 3 amigos, the SRS, The Brake and the Service Engine Soon light on. It runs like a charm.Do I worry? Heck no!
it does 80mph on the highway as a cruisin' speed, really slow in the muck but it starts, drip a little oil here and there And BTW I don't know how they designed this truck to drip only on stuff that either needs it or burns it, but no stains in the driveway! but it goes like a champ. I love it!
116K miles on it, maybe 32k pulling 7000Lbs trailer.
I have been through a set of front lights, about five sets of back lights (bulbs), one set of brakes, a set of ABS sensors (under waranty at the time), one differential (rear), some Slime in the Air suspention.... and that's it. Oh the Sunroof leaks when I park it in this one spot, but it doesn't do it when parked anywhere else...go figure...it's a LandRover!

Rain + Mud + rocks = Happy Rover.
driveway and road only = Sad Gas Guzzlin'SUV.

I noticed a reduction in fuel consumption when Im on the trails. I dont know why. Not sure if its the drive on the trail or the highway stretch to get there.

Dont let them poop you around with repairs. Just be firm and make sure they fix everything thats wrong. Dont worry about warrenty time line. If they sold it to you like that, they have to fix it.
