Hi all

My tip/dog/kids car is currently a 2008 RR Vogue 3.6 TDV8. I have had it for 18 months and done 20k miles in it (currently at 148k).
Few niggles but nothing major- all very diy-able such as new air shock, intake pipes and height sensors.

It's a proper car and I love it. But I am conscious of the fact the turbos are prone to go at some point on these!

So my dilemma is I keep looking at Volvo V70 R AWD estates the one with the 300hp engine. I know they can be tricky woth the 4C suspension etc but I've seem some lovely low mileage imports.

My other cars are a 997 C4s amd XKR Jag. The RR is just a bit wallowy and I think the V70R may be an awesome dog/tip car!


Views???

I just cannot stand Range Rovers and love V70 Volvos, but seriously, keep the Range Rover.

Keep the 322 and get the turbos done, or rather, put some money away for when they eventually need doing
