Don't ya just love the 'Ignore' button :D:D saves having to reply

Thanks for that but I now have all the info I need as regards to what may be involved and also the repair costs if looking at the worst case scenario. With this information I now know what will be my maximum offer to the vendor, assuming I still wish to purchase after viewing. Incidentally the...

I just don't suffer fools Gladly :D Cheerio

Think what you like but you like most of the comments were just proffering your own personal opinion as your are doing once again with this comment, which was not what was asked for in my original question.... and as regards to @RangeRoller dt comments, he only seems to use text speak which I...

It had a new turbo fitted before I bought it and all I've changed in 3 years is the rear offside brake caliper and brake pipe other than that its been oil & filter and tyres.

Sorry My reply was to Marjon's comment not yours

Maybe see if I can get the Xtrail engine and box transferred into the RRS if I do decide to buy it as that has run perfectly for the last 3 years :)

No @marjon you're giving advice on the way forward, that wasn't my question .......................so for the avoidance of doubt, I asked for all potential causes from the more knowledgeable members on this Forum who have personally come across this or a very similar problem before.?

Why oh Why are you having difficulty in understanding my original Question ??

Wow one asks a specific issue question and everyone apart from one Member thinks I'm asking for advice about buying a vehicle ! Well I'm not asking for that, so let's put the record straight, Firstly, my "limited budget" is only with regard to how much I am prepared to pay for a car...

Just found the 'ignore' button ....how cool is that :D:D:D

Mentioning that the owner had died was not relevant to the question asked !! And yet again you make assumptions as I have not bought it but rather just asked for info from those people who had first hand experience and knowledge of that particular problem , which obviously isn't you...

Thanks for the welcome but typical thoughtless comment added !! :mad: Not sure about the car not engaging gears, certainly someone didn't engage brain !! The owner collapsed and died from a heart attack 2 days after the problem started, his widow doesn't drive so she's parted with it. HTH

I've not bought it but will be arranging to go and have a look during the coming week .....it's guys that buy in scrap cars, mot failures etc but because of its in nice condition have advertised it for sale as Spares or repair detailing what was the problem with it was. The mileage at the last...

No idea what this Text speak means o_O

Thanks for the Welcome and information Gary ......potential costs look frightening though I am encouraged that the particular 2005 Range Rover Sport I've been considering has only failed an MoT once in its lifetime and that was back in 2013 for the following reason: Reason(s) for failure...

2005 Range Rover Sport 2.7 Diesel THE PROBLEM The car when cold takes a while to select gears then when it’s warm it selects them ok for a while but then goes again till cool then works again. Any idea what the reason could be and possible repair solution?. I have done some research already...

"Ok do some search’s on the gearbox, you will probably find it’s made of a lesser metal and needs upkeep. Also I would search the engine type(TDV6? by any chance)" I have done some research already and a possibility is that it requires an oil and filter screen change or could need new control...

Well thanks for your input but it didn't really tell me anything about the problem, which after all was the point of my question. :)

Hello everyone, I'm one of the older brigade who has been driving an Xtrail for the last four years due to a dodgy hip. However I have always fancied a Land Rover so currently looking at a Range Rover Sport to be my next form of transport
