Rear arches, sills and jacking points. Rear subframes too. Not surface rust, they properly rot out

Dont forget the brake lines.
Thanks for all of the replies, I have had a tentative look at various adds some cheap some not. Lots seem to be for sale with seemingly small problems and not quite sure if they were small jobswhy people don't just do them.

Think outside, no box required.
Avoid the TD6.
shít MPG, crap gearbox and then there is the rust, plenty of it hiding behind arch liners and sill covers.
I'd recommend a 4.4 V8 but then you'll have a shít engine and gearbox to worry about.......
2005-2012 Supercharged V8 is your best bet, if you can stomach 14mpg or the 4.4 TDV8.

I hear you , I do like the tdv8 not sure if my budget will stretch to one, diesel ws what am after.
I gave seen a td6 advertised, good mot and service history although not fault free.
The seller said that when first driven the car goes into limp mode for about 100yds ten clears itself.
They said a code reader said abs sensor does this seem plausible ?

MPG on my mates TD6 was better than Kermit gets on his V8. I agree about the gearbox and rust.Avoid the TD6.

If it's the jag 4.4 v8 it's not **** at all. In fact, coupled with lpg it's by far and away the best option.Avoid the TD6.

3.6tdv8 is pretty good, not as good as the 4.4 tdv8 but far from bad.

M62 2002-2005, was the engine I was referring, the Jag engines are the best of the bunch,
The 3.6 is from experience not a good engine, 4.4 TDV8 is significantly better..

The 4.4 doesn't tend to chew through Turbo's EGR's and Headgaskets, the latter is starting to become quite a frequent problem, with the 3.6,

I think there was possibly some improvement to oil feed to the turbos on the 4.4 but it isn't without issues either.
It's like all land rover products, you can either buy cheap like I did and know you have a bit of work to do or spend more to get a good one with good history and look after it.
I suspect by the time the 4.4's are as plentiful and high mileage/age as the 3.6 there will be just as many issues.

Oil coolers on the 4.4tdv8 apparently. Theres a mod on the turbo oil drain as well for some cars
