Someone’s interested in owning a RR

discool · Dec 4, 2020

Not me, I don’t have a use for such a big lump.

But as iv’e spoken before, one of my nephew’s is interested in becoming a RR owner, again

.
So as i did last time I’m asking the RR Forum for their opinions on this vehicle thats now of interest, (link below) the condition in the photo would sell it for me, even though the wheel have marks of ‘kerbing’ and been touched up with silver paint, plus fresh black under seal in the wheel arches.

Anyway, the perceived negative info on that particular RR before, was passed on and so the nephew went out and bought Ford Kuga

So can u owners of a similar RRS kindly help again, with this vehicle which the seller states that both cam belts will be replaced... for an extra £250 that is. If asked.
It appears that a bit of work on the steering has been done to pass MOT?

Bit pricey then again the same dealer is trying to sell a 56 plate range rover for all most 10 grand......stear well clear

When they mean both cam belts is that front and rear, the rear is often over looked and if it has not already had the up rated front cover it should have it as if that goes no oil pressure goodbye engine.

Iv the same engine in the d3 the front belt is the cam belt, the oil pump should be changed for the updated one as standard practise plus all the other bits and Bob's.
The rear belt runs the injection pump it's not timed and a simple swop if you know how.

The cranks on these do let go so be worned

It does look very nice. Obviously been tarted up as the price is usually based on interior/exterior condition but it’s the mechanical that could potentially cost you. @ 121,000 miles it’s either due a good overhaul or it’s been done properly and you may have found a good un - id investigate the receipts and/or get it plugged in if I could get away with being that cheeky.

Is bit on the steep side but who wouldn’t pay that bit extra for a genuine good one. I’d have to take that new rear plate off though and put it back on straight lol.

Yes his attitude left a lot to be desired,@Henry_b put him in his place and vinegar tits in Scotty land rubbed him up the wrong way,what's new there.I think he's the Arsey prick on the disco forum that told me to read Rave when I asked if the disco1 had a electrical weaknes i.e. common fail point like the a post connectors on the p38

he posted a question on here a few weeks later and you can guess my answer to him.Yup,read Rave.

I like a man who bears a grudge

How would you know if you blocked her? You only say that to tease her don’t you

Your as madly in love with her as the rest of us really. Only thing with Scottish wimmins in general is foreplay tends to be undoing the 4 duffle coats 6 jumpers and a cardy but if you get past that your in

Yes. I think that's the one with 2 turbos that tend to let go too.
