Toying with the idea of buying a Discovery 4.....

Hi chaps,

I'm toying with the idea of getting a D4 around the 2015 - 2016 area, I've read the buyers guide for the D3 which was extremely helpful. Just wondering if there's anything else that I should be looking at on the newer twin turbo ones or are they still much of a muchness?

I'm aware of the crank snapping saga, which seems to be pot-luck whether it affects one car from another.

One of the ones I'm interested in is a 2015 SDV6 Tech Euro 6 with 58k and a full LRSH, thinking of viewing it tomorrow. MOT history seems ok, only advisories for service / normal maintenance stuff brakes / brake pipes & tyres etc... throughout the years. & would come with a 3 year warranty?

I've always wanted one (had the D1 & 2 before) but never got the D3. So I'm thinking a D4 before they get old & past it (Don't like the current D5) , Mrs thinks I'm mad.

Money pit or what????

Your missus is most likely correct!

If it has a full LR service history that was carried out correctly it shouldn't have had any MOT advisories for service items?

You know the issues why put yourself at risk for it?
Did they do a V8 version?

Listen to the missus (i dont often say that).

The d4 v8 is a 5.0 petrol on import only. There are v8 d3s about but very rare. Buy it if you want it......
