Range Rover 3.6V8 TD what do I need to know??
Discussion
I’m close to persuading the other half that we need a Rangie. This is a scratch I need to itch and she’s starting to agree, the snow helped my cause no end!
£30k appears to buy me a reasonable 56-57 motor with 40-50k miles and a good history (Range Rover or Range Rover Sport, there doesn’t seem too much difference). It has to be the V8, the output from the 2.7d in the Sport just won't wash.
Three questions:
1. Should I look at both (Big Boy an Sport) and keep options open, or is there a cast iron reason not to look at the Sport (apart from image, which I couldn’t give a toss about, I’m talking technical issues here people).
2. What kind of running costs should I expect? She currently runs an E90 330d M-Sport and each year we budget £1.2k for a couple of tyres and servicing. What size of premium should we expect on this?
3. Any major issues – gearbox, engine, suspension that I need to know about before buying?
Your real world experiences would be greatly appreciated.
