I currently have a 2.0l tdi Audi A4 which has been a very good car for the past two years. However, with another sprog on the way, we are looking to get something a little bigger and I've always thought about a 4x4 of sorts.
Prior to the Audi A4, I owned a Subaru Impreza STi and am fully prepared for high running costs and regular visits to my local Shell forecourt!
The RR I am looking at is an early L322 with no more than 100k on the clock. It would have to be the 3.0l TD6 which I would no doubt have remapped to boost the power further and improve fuel economy a little. I'd also like satnav although I don't think my budget would stretch to a Vogue so it will probably be a HSE. And the budget of course is £11k at a max.
So onto my questions...
1. How many miles does a full tank of diesel return you (urban/motorway)?
2. How big is the fuel tank and how costly is it to fill?
3. Should I go for a generic remap or a BHP+ box?
4. What are the servicing intervals?
5. What are the weakpoints of the RR (gearbox, clutch etc)?
6. Does the suspension suffer from being lifted and lowered all the time?
7. I know the tyres are huge on RR - what size offers the best comfort?
8. Do I need to look for rust as these seem to go offroad and probably end up in quite a lot of water from time to time?
