My continuing search goes on found a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2.7 TD V6 HSE 108,000 miles 6 month warranty £6,790 seems cheap compared to others I've seen but love red cars. Not seen it yet probably be next week just a few questions before I go and been looking at warranties Warranty Direct have quoted £539 p.a. for there Major Care plan is it worth it or just bank it and build a war chest also is there a way of checking the oil pump been done. Will probably get Flack to give it the once over as I've used him before on a D3 that turned out to be a pile of Thoughts appreciated I've had LRs most my life from a series 3 110 Safari to my current 2004 TD5 so I know there not perfect but I'm handy with a BFH
Cheers Peter

It does look very nice.

You could try the 6 month warranty it comes with first ?

Might just me being picky but missing letters shows lack of interest in the car from previous owner. Steve.

ive got 3 sets of silver letters ive removed from previous RRS,,if you buy it let me know & ill post you a set complete with stensil.But to be honest for the sake of £15-£20 your better off buying a set from that well known site,by the time you've picked the old sticky tape off & put new on them I wouldn't bother.They are here if you need them.

Front Shock absorber has slight corrosion to the casing ns/os (2.7.2a) and it hasn't been taxed since 10 September 2015 but it's mot history is up to date confused. If it ain't broken down it soon will

has the mileage gone up much between MOT's ? (when its not taxed)

To be fair I have a car that I MOT, but don't tax.

And as that RRS costs £500/yr I can understand why, they wouldn't tax it if they aren't using it.

Can always ring the dealer and see what excuse is given
