RRS 4.2 supercharged - financial suicide?

[LeoSayer]

These have attracted my attention now they are starting to creep under £20k for the early models which are 6 years old.

I'm not worried about the cost of consumables, 15mpg etc or general servicing, but how likely is it that something might break that costs £5k or more to fix?

Are warranties worthwhile/affordable/available for such a monster? Are they necessary?

Generally, they're fairly reliable. At 100k, the engine is nicely run-in but they do like suspension bushes!

I wouldn't bother with a warranty, just save the money to put towards the next bill.

Mine is great. Just coming up on 30k. Decatted it and improved mpg by 20% in one fell swoop.

Look after it, get it serviced as it requires and don't skimp on the maintenance. Good indy servicing will be fine.

Awesome bit of kit.

Ditto, I have had my FFRR 4.2 S/C 07 plate for 4 years and they are an awesome piece of kit. Now up to 35,000 miles and with the exception of needing a new radiator due to corrosion the car has been trouble free. (now where's that wood to touch again..)

Superbe drive. I personally had the LR warranty on it, no complain...go for it, they are fully specced, and so quiet compare to noisy/smoky diesel.

Mechanically strong - ours had 65kmiles when we sold it, faultless, never gave up on us.
