Hi everyone,

I'm new and not even an RRS owner yet - my P38 (4.6 V8 Autobiography) is on her way to a new life on the farm and I'm here hoping to find some advice and a RRS replacement.

I would like a Supercharged RRS (or possibly FF) and my budget is £11k - from what I've read so far that's not impossible but all advice is welcome.

Cheers
John

Hi Folks.
I'm not an owner yet, but Mrs rpaterson has an RRS itch that she is keen to scratch. Car/budget wise, we're looking at '05 4.2 supercharged ones. I'll be hitting the search function quite heavily to see what's here with regards to buying guides, common issues etc, but if any of you wonderful people could suggest any links then we'd greatly appreciate that!

Looking forward to annoying the neighbors with a V8 rumble...

Welcome to the forum.If you are on a tight budget then you should also look for a 2005/2006 4.4V8 which isn't supercharged but almost goes as quickly and burns about the same amount of fuel and was way less popular so a lot less around and cheaper to buy than the 4.2........ The 4.4 was discontinued in RRS in late 2006 when the TDv8 was launched. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Thanks Tim. We've not really seen any 4.4s so we've concentrating on the supercharged Jaguar engine. Now Mrs rpaterson has started mentioning diesel instead. There's another can of worms to weigh up in these modern times!

Hi folks!
I have just purchased for my Big 50th Birthday treat a Sept 2014 RRS HSE DYNAMIC in Firenze Red with Black Roof. Only 30k on clock and in mint condition. Jumping up from the Evoque HSE which I purchased new 18 months ago.
Amazing difference and now feel i've joined the BIG BOY CLUB now.....
Just thought i'd pop in to say hi 👍

Hi all,

Have a RRS for 2 months now. Always a dream to own one, managed to get a 2012 plate from a main dealer for a decent price with a 2 year LR warranty.

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi everyone,

David welcome to the club, interesting colour scheme - is it a Vesuvius 1st Edition Supercharged from 2005 or a resprayed later TDv6 with contrast roof? Interesting that it has L494 RRS wheels, I thought the hubs were different.... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks for the welcome Tim, it's a 2011 SDV6, It's had a bit of a conversion by Bespoke which includes the autobiography body kit and a rather subtle retrim of the interior , I don't think it will be to everyone's taste but both myself and the wife wanted something a little different.

Good to see somebody isn't frightened of buying something a bit different! You will have to come and get it dirty on a Scottish Green Road Club drive out sometime............. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi all , I've just joined the forum as it seems to full of useful info and helpful members, I've recently purchased a 2006 RRS 2.7tdv6, her happy with it so far, but a few niggles to sort out so you will probably be seeing a few posts from me if I can't search the answers

Hi All,

Just got my 2013 RRS autobiography. It's my first Range Rover since the 2006 Supercharged V8 I had a few years ago.

I'm looking forward to this being a bit better on the gas!

Hopefully I'll be more successful with the RRS than with uploading photos!!

Is that an Australian import?  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil
