Good morning and welcome to LZ. Trust you haven’t changed your mind after sleeping on it, if you got any sleep that is. For the record I once had a Peugeot 406 and often dreamed of Kim Basiger. A very formidable TV ad and car for that matter. Do send pictures of your purchase we like the before and after sets.
Tricky.

Id rather have before and after photos of Kim Basiger.;):D

Well what a nice bunch of people. All round to mine for sausage sandwiches and copious quantities tea.
BUT, being as unlucky as a one legged man who finds himself accidently entering an bottom kicking contest, a slight hiccup or hiccough has developed on the Range Rover front.
The dealer with the car what I so wanted so much that it nearly made me sick has been a little bit of a &%"#@*^%+. When I asked him to allow me to buy an RAC inspection he became, well he became a &%"#@*^%+. So assuming he has something to hide I have decided to look elsewhere.
Currently in lust with a RR 3.6 TD V8 SE which is a real bangin' unit, innit.
So, with a little luck, I will be on this forum asking you about a slight hiccup or hiccough has developed on the Range Rover TDV8
Oh and by the way I live in the tiny rural village of Bagshot which neatly nestles between the picturesque M3, the mighty A30 and the lovely A322. The only place in the country where you can have the blood group "unleaded"
Thank you all.
With you encouragement and help, I too will be able to boast no finger nails and permanent grease marks on every item of clothing I own.
Cheers.
Neil.

Good man the dealer sounds a bit dodgy! Before you buy ask for the weak points of particular models on here. Don't fall for a TD6 the GM gearbox is made of Swiss cheese. Rear wheel arches are a favourite rust point on the early L322's inside the rear doors and outersills.:eek:

I don't know whether I want to know the various weak spots of each model. Would it not spoil the surprise.

I think it's a question of manuf. period, like most cars. I've owned two BMW 5 series (both 6 pot petrol) & been happy with them in terms of build quality, ride/comfort & handling, but then they were built in the 'nineties before the accountants had too much influence.
 
I will be honest and say the bestest car ever, what I ever owned ever was my 1978 Rover SD1 3500. probably followed by my 2003 S type Jaguar. I loved both cars almost to the extent of becoming arrestable.
 
Oh dear. that has thrown a scorpion down my Y fronts. I have just seen a 2006 4.4 V8 with 91K miles and as sexy as Sigourney Weaver in a miners helmet. Within my price range and petrol ( so no need to convert to Satanic dieselism). It's enough to put a smile on my face and a tilt in my kilt.
Okay I know I will be spending on fuel. But I am terrified of four things.
1 The wife
2 The wrath of God
3 Cam belts
4 Turbos
oh and;
5 Monarchs with beards.
So is the 4.4 V8 the way to go.
Just a thought, I might have to add slipped cylinder liners to my phobia list.
Bug grr if you see what i mean.
 
The 4.4 jag engine is sublime and quick!
Mine is on lpg and cost per mile is equivalent to doing around 30mpg on petrol. Many say the jag needs flashlube if it's lpg but mine has now done close on 140k miles and seems OK.
Unfortunately, due to work commitments, it's got to go, I simply don't have enough time to give it the attention it needs.
Fabulous car.

Whoa! You cannot do that! Not that and the p38!

It's all this sun. You must wear a hat.

Both my Porsche and my BMW 3 series were brand new 80's cars. Crankshaft failed at 400 miles in the Porsche, brakes failed twice, gearbox seized etc. The BMW needed 5 litres of oil to go from my south coast office to my Birmingham office:rolleyes:
