I’m currently contemplating an L322, again.
This time a 160k miles 2010 5.0 S/C. It is in outstanding condition and has only two previous owners. Lovely dark green and no tints (but black seats and dark matte walnut veneers).

The first owner had the car for 12 years and 140k miles. Full LR service history (same dealer) and the second owner is the son of an indy garage and had it serviced at his father’s place (he’s a car enthusiasts by the sound of it). Timing chain guides where recently replaced (timing chain was not lengthened), but the supercharger is whining atm, which he wants to rectify before the sale. Is this likely to be the pulley? Wouldn’t that be a great time for a S/C pulley upgrade?

What are your thoughts on this?

BTW, I had a P38 Range Rover before and currently own a lovely ‘92 RRC. Also I have a 200k+ miles Porsche 997, which was also a cherished 2 owner car and is tight as a drum and in lovely condition. So I’m not your naive wannabe cheapo, gangsta Range Rover Sport buyer wink
