Good for selling fake watches out of at service stations and/or towing a waltzer to your new home until the council come and move you along.

Go for the latest disco Paul, I used a TDV6 for a couple of months and fell in love

That's just personal preference though! I've always found rangies to be as reliable as Landies [which isn't all that but manageable ] except the older ones with the silly suspension set up... but the late ones are the same as each other anyway

I offered him a profit on it the other day but he's taught it to sit and he thinks it's worth alot more now

they look the part if that's your bag, but if you actually intend to drive it as well, then try one first.. we had a RR Sport and Disco3 recently for work, and they're pretty grim to drive every day. All personal preference though I guess, some people like them, I'd put up for about 3 days.

Paul, Barry from our club was gonna get one till he spoke to his pal at Reg Vardy's in sunderland.

Apparently they are SHIT reliability and you have to spend Ł1700 a year on a warranty as the gearboxes and engines are made of chocolate. A guy had bought a brand spanking new Vogue HSE and he got a couple of miles from the dealership and the box went, they had it recovered sorted it out only for it to do it again a couple of days later!!

Without warranty an engine is Ł8k and a box is Ł4k !!!!!!

Go for it, as long as ot has warranty you will be fine.

They are no where near as crap as people are making out, however, of preferance I would get the Diesel.

My uncle gets a new one every year, and he is very happy with them now, he said the older ones pre-2002 were riddled with faults and common problems but now they are pretty much sorted and a well worthy buy.

Keep us posted Paul.

go for it paul as said above dont listen to most of the above comments ,theres a very good land rover forum on pistonheads also you could try www.rrsport.co.uk for any queries
as for slow the 400bhp supercharged why do the motorway police use them?
also go on wwww.overfinch.com and www.projectkahn.com for wheels and bits

My next door neighbour has a Q7, fucking gorgeous car!!!!!! There are a few RR and Landies at my work (make parts for LR and RR..hence directors cars) and theyre nice but tbh a full black Q7 with some nice wheels wins hands down....The one next door to me is a 4 litre diesel IIRC and has a big set of wheels (& brakes as std...look similar size to monster AP's).

But the main thing I'd be looking at is weither the wheels go with the car or not...the one next to me has 20+ inch alloys (cant remember exact & its dark now) and they look like they were meant to be on the car....Lots of LR/RR with 22inch wheels look daft IMO
