    Even if I kept it for 2 years, it would only get to about 70k mileage…

    TDV8 Engine. Good or Bad?

    The problem with a ‘good independent’ is the local one who is supposed to be good with LR’s charged me £78 for a diagnostic test on my MB but didn’t actually put the car on a ramp or check the ATF level. It took a further £200+VAT at my local MB Dealership to do that and discover the oil seal leak…

    Spent the evening looking at dog guards / boxes / boot protectors and drinks cabinets… I really like the TransK9 range but my word, they can charge for it! https://transk9.com/select/range-rover/range-rover-models/3-range-rover-l322-2001-2012/ Also was trying to see if JLR do a service plan...

    It’s not so much the heat, more what gets carried ;)

    Yup, it would only be to stop prying eyes due to what gets occasionally carried and also to stop the dogs getting too much sun / heat.

    I think the only thing I’d need to do is have the rear boot area glass tinted out.

    TDV8 Engine. Good or Bad?

    I have to say the thing that’s very appealing about this one is the 55000 miles on it… Plus the full LR service history and genuine one lady owner! This one has ‘em annol…

    TDV8 Engine. Good or Bad?

Remember I currently drive a Merc… it turns corners when you turn the steering wheel and you can get the power down in the middle of a corner without feeling like you’re on the cusp of a fairly spectacular accident.
