I'd probably say <10k to be realistic, my commute to work is 30 mile round trip. |

The only reason I ask is it might be worth considering a 5.0 S/C as would appear the 5.0L petrol engine is far less troublesome than the 3.0L diesel The earlier 5.0L did have some timing chain guide and supercharger issues but later 12My on cars that had supposedly been addressed. The S/C RRS1 never had the original 8 speed box either as it was not man enough to take the power output.

I’m in the same boat as you, always wanted a RR, got 2 kids, RAF aircraft engineer, willing to tackle most jobs and only do a 34 mile round trip to work (Although I lift share so half’s my fuel bill) so I went for the 5.0 Supercharged. I don’t regret it at all and I just had it serviced at a Land Rover Independent in Lincoln and it cost £240! He said the 3.6TDV8 would come in just shy of £400 so the Petrol worked out cheaper.
