Hi all. am am hopefully about to purchase a 2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 3.6 TD V8 HSE 5dr. took it for a test drive today and loved it. it did chuck out a bit of black smoke when i pulled away but it has been standing for a while and my x5 was like that until i gave it a good run. also when i parked up to have a look with the engine running i noticed the air suspension was making the odd small his around the car. is this normal as i got and it was adjusting its self? any thing else i should for?

The car will settle when parked up, by adjusting itself, by releasing air. As for the smoke, that is all mine ever does, buy it  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

Buy, drive, enjoy  2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current
