Economic tolerance 🤔
The wet belt made from synthetic rubber (oil) breaks down in the oil and blocks the oil strainer.... Poof, dead engine.. A later Ford mhev engine replaced the wet belt with a chain but left the oil pump driven by... Yes you...
The velar is it's own model with pop out door handles, you can see that fail coming in a few years..... "hello is that the rac , I can't get into my car" 😜
You would think, wouldnt you. But JLR are still using it all these years later. I guess they have worked out that it will probably get out of the warranty period, then its not thier problem 🤔.
We added a bit to our budget when we brought our...
The trick is as above. find a well maintained 1 first and if you then keep up the maintanace it could end up being a reliable car. Start skipping over small problems will only lead to bigger issue down the line. Because of the complexitiy of them...
i think a good, well maintained older (5-7 years+) example could be more reliable than a newer one, on the basis the failures have been addressed, parts replaced or upgraded etc. an abused/unmaintained example needs to be left well alone
Look at the J D Power and other surveys, Range Rovers are always near the bottom for reliability and that's in the first 3 years. Always best to have a second car available for when the RR is off the road. If you can't DIY it could turn out to...

Sound advice. Got a call about the 4.4 AJV8 tomorrow N/A. If the service history looks okay, I will probably put an offer in. Take it straight down to get a service and all the oils changed.
Then just roll with it. Expect the worst, hope for...
My opinion would be that you should buy the car you want. I've had a 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8, both facelift, I like them. Also had a 2008 3.6 TDV8, they're all brilliant in their own way. at 205k I would imagine a lot of the things that would need...
Sorry for the late response life has got in the way.
I am using a Snap On Solus Pro .
Thanks for the diagrams I will get on it as soon as I can and report back.
Thanks again for your help
