Hi I have always wanted one of these and today I bought a 2003 RR Vogue Diesel, got quite a few miles on but looks good and seems to go ok.
Used the check list provided in the forum which helped the buying process.
collecting it tonight ( on one of the wettest and gale force nights of the year ) but looking forward to using and living with it.

Yes me to, first 100 miles today and it went ok , few little items but nothing major so far ? seems to go well and everything works except for the passenger electric mirror, looks like the adjustment selector switch on the drivers door is stuck ? will post a few pics later

1000 miles down , seems to be about 28mpg and apart from a front brake pad all is going well. Looking to sort the electric mirrors and rear washer

28mpg must be pleasing given the age and mileage. 3.0, 3.6 or 4.4 ?

Rattley 3 td6 with 190k , just drove to derby From Newcastle and back computer showed 30.9 mpg !! I've done just over 1200 miles since I bought it and so far so good. Fixed the low ratio switch , sat nav and CD player so far trying to sort the mirrors and rear wiper wash next , going to give it a full oil and filter change including gearbox as not sure when if ever it was done !really enjoying it !!

put over 2500 miles on the clock and still a bit rattley but going ok. Got a bit of a pull to the left , and a rattle from what seems to be an exhaust shield but still rolling!!! really enjoying it. lost a few pixels on the dash last week but have seen replacements on e bay so may give that a go. Sat Nav now working ok but a bit fiddly to use.
Oil and filter change al round certainly helped. had an intermittent flash from the air suspension warning light , suspect it may be a connection as it comes and goes ?
if the weather improves will get the wheel sorted and the compressor checked !!!

That looks very nice. Sounds like you are getting through the job list well.

That does look like a nice bus - classic lines - far too much smoke contained within the electronics for me, but it looks nice

Thanks for that , surprised that so far most of the jobs have been fairly straight forward but I am looking for a local guy with test equipment as have two issues that I need help with . The steering wheel moves in and out but the vertical adjustment doesn't work . Got a couple of,loose connectors in the rear left hand side boot compartment side but can't find anywhere or thing to connect them! ( certainly the wiring looks more like a 747 than a Morris 1000)
