Sorry also just to add for some reason the V8 is cheaper on insurance for me not sure why :/ my previous land rovers were 3 freelanders, a discovery and a defender, as said my old man has the RRS V8 and my mum has the Disco 4 HSE in the Bronze colour which is a bit different, anyway I will be looking for one around 2007-8 with as low mileage as my finances will allow which at the minute seems to be around 70k (miles) not pounds lol does either one have a DPF also? Cheers |

Thanks for the reply Ady that's good to know as the dpf was a real bug bare of mine on the B8 it just had to go lol as for warranty are you saying I'll need it haha I know about the suspension knock fault but I'm hoping there isn't any other major ones, I'm swaying towards the tdv6 2.7 now due to the fuel economy and the road tax, I'm a typical yorkshire man you see also the 2.7 being 187bhp unsure on torque figures but with a good remap I was thinking would quite easily achieve 235-240bhp which isn't too far from the V8 |

Thanks for the reply BKHK so the engine is the one to look out for on the 2.7 wow that's a big worry then compared to a turbo on a V8, I really can't decide on a 2.7 or a 3.6 as said the V8 pulls better and sounds better but costs more to buy and more to run so I'm wondering if it is really worth it and if the 2.7 will be just as nice to drive once it's had a decent map, I am one who can't leave things alone either so even if I were to buy the supercharged it would still have a remap and some kind of pulley upgrade for more power :/ at the minute my budget is only around 16,500 - 17,500 so I need to get the right one really, I was looking at disco 3s but after driving the disco 4 the 3 felt some what old fashioned so that got me looking in to the RRS which I know I like and as said will do what I need of it, which is take me shooting and throw the dogs in the back which in the Audi I can't do also get the bikes either on the back or in the back also I have a little girl who we take out quite a lot so we are wanting to go camping etc etc and the audi is just useless for all that so I need gone really will add a pic of the car so you know what I mean about can't help but mess with things. |

Its not common, but it CAN happen. TopGear Towers a few threads below has one at your price range and it looks good! Have a look in the for sale section. |
