Thank you. Am off to Scotland next week so will take photos and post them here. I will try to find the service guide. And will stick to it!

Cheers!!

Thank you - sound advice.

Yes, this is a bit "flowery"....but I can see past the nonsense here.....

Thanks, the belts were done 2022. Warrenty does cover crank issue, although I have asked them to confirm. I think that the SE Tech includes front parking sensors and a better satnav? Sort of middle ish range, I think. Why dont you like the sales pitch?

Hi, so the motor I was looking at up in Sterling fell through for a variety of reasons. Slightly gutted, but also dodged a bullet. I am now looking at this one - https://www.vertumotors.com/used-car/3335017/land-rover-discovery-3.0-sdv6-se-tech-5dr-auto-diesel-station-wagon/ 81k on the clock...

Wee update. Dealer got the MoT done that I wanted. Looks like there was a couple of issues, one was break pipe corrosion. I have decided to walk away. Sad as this motor ticked a lot if boxes, but might have been a bit of a nail.

Absolutely. It’s weird I just don’t get these wind up merchants.

I I did take a very detailed look at this, inside, outside and underneath. No errors reported on code reader too. Couldn’t see any issues. Car drove fine. It’s got full history and only two owners. However, it’s my first Landy, so who knows….

Which thread was this? Can you give me a link please? When I looked underneath I couldn’t see any rust. I call BS on this….

I will look into this. If it is an ex staff car is it a bad thing?

Hi, I Genuinely don’t know. Do you recognise it?

Aye, I picked them up on that; shiny new plates are included! Not sure they are worth a grand off, though. Pretty sure the MoT would have picked up on that too. Personally, my OCD would have not let me drive about in a car with plates in that state.

Cheers! And thanks for your assistance! The Warrenty looks pretty bomb proof, but the devil is in the detail. Lets hope I never need to use it (yea, right!).

Well, I took a look and purchased. I said I would post a couple of photos, so here you are. Its a Disco 4, HSE. 63k on the clock. Will get a fresh MoT and fuel/ timing belts changed, by a local landy specialist. Comes with two keys, FSH, main dealer and land rover specialist stamps. 2 owners...

I really appreciate your assistance here. Thank you. Certainly better and a lot more positive that some of the comments I have received. The Troll in particular seemed very peculiar - I dont understand these people. Am away to look at the car on the 27th (its in Scotland) so I will report back...

Thank you for the sound advice. They are going to put a fresh MoT on the car for me, I hope this will tease out any issues. I will check that the crank shaft issue is covered. I am also going to ask that the 12month warranty is extended to 24 month, for additional peace of mind, which I will...

Fair comment. I looked at the Freelander (a really nice motor), but really need something with a larger boot. I appreciate that the D4 is going to be a leap of faith, but my heart is not set on it yet.

Obviously got a bit of time on his hands......
