:welcome2: got a wad to spend have we ? gooood youll need it if the car aint perfect BIG WALLET JOB other wise ,. if your near aldershot have a look on fleabay at brutusmotorsport ? his is for sale .

buying from a dealer,fsh 116000 miles full mot and 6 months tax and comrehensive warrenty so im not too worried

Comprehensive warranty??-be sure to read the small print regarding number of claims allowed and maximum amount covered as you can easily run up a bill for a couple of grand.
Boy-you will need that!!!!

drag him down i mean right down on price ! big cars aint shifting but dont leave him any room to move on the warrenty espesically on the box and suspension get as much out of him as you can tax aint sh*t you can get that yourself as for the warrenty check and i mean CHECK what is covered no good if the fluffy dice are covered and the engine aint good hunting :search::mil4:

evening irish rover fella over your way asking for "help "last night suggested your self hope you dont mind

No probs. Heard nothing yet.
Send me a PM if you need to.

will do

got it for £4000 its on a p reg in very nice condition,im changing from a subaru imprezza so i understand the costs of running an expensive car,i figure if you buy or own one of these cars you got to expect hefty repair bills at some.

4K emmm seems a bit steep to me but if your happy with it best of luck scooby non turbo or sti reasonable running cost compared to a 38 unless its derv or gassed , flog it hard and you"ll be down in single figures!

its to be used as a second car,is there anywhere on the web that can give me a price guide.


tia tony

if its going to be used as a second car not so bad on the running costs but do you need it as a 2nd car unless your towing , given half the chance id get rid of my rr (pieceofcrap) both discos and the kompressor and keep only the diatsooo not that the discos are any trouble its just that the diatsoooo is smaller , shes got the benz so i gotta keep it im only speaking from my experience mind as for price guide sorry no just get the best deal you can

Right, got a mate wanting to sell a 2001 X reg 4.0 Vogue SE with a few extras (can't tell difference from Autobiog spec), 20" alloys, full ticket. I've done thermostat, plugs, AFM cleanout, fixed throttle body preheater design fault recently. Has also had the updated sender unit so mobile phones don't flatten the battery overnight.

Tasty car for £4k - oh yes, blacked out rear windows

he's taking my wrx in a part ex and ive got a good deal on it so im pretty happy with it,its to be used for taking my lads to trials competitions so it should be just the ticket for what i need.

could of gone for disco or 90 /110 easier to keep tidy(wont say c word might upset lots)

is there anywhere i can find the full spec on the car so i know everythings there as it should be

The level of extras on an Autobiography was a bit like a bag of pick & mix sweets with the buyer adding whatever extras at the time of order and depended on personal choice and wallet size. There should be a special plate under the bonnet and a main stealer will be able to get the original spec. There are quite a few bogus Biographies out there with decals and trim fitted to a standard P38 but they do not have the I.D. plate

I hate to mention this but if it's on a 'P' then it's not an autobiography

think you could be right been on the phone to land rover and a local dealer and their records and parts department indicate its a hse,from searching the internet it seems they were only available from 1999,its a shame realy took it for a 1 hour test drive and i was impressed with it.

auto express says they were available from 1996 ?,
