Hi Guys
I'd welcome your advice.
Because of severely ruptured discs, there are few vehicles that I can drive comfortably.
After a series of Jeep Grand Cherokees, I'm contemplating coming over to the dark side
and buying an '07 RR 3.6 TDV8. (face lifted version)
I've found one with 200k on the clock(motorway miles), 1 managing director owner and a FSH. Its in very good shape. MoT is good until Sept. We've agreed £4k and the seller is a dealer. I've had a mechanic mate give it the once over and he can't find anything wrong with it.
I've had diesels (Jeeps) before and tended to do preventative maintenance and frequent oil and filter changes and (touch wood) never had any big bills.
My plan would be to keep the RR while I get well and fit again and my annual mileage would be about 7k as I'll be driving project and weekend cars, come summer. Probably aim to keep the RR for a few years.
I 'get' that its a how long is a piece of string question. However, I'm hoping there may be some guys here, with experience of high mileage versions of this RR and can advise.
I also have a reliable source of cheap very high quality B100 bio diesel and I'm also wondering if anyone reading this, has experience of using bio diesel in the 3.6 TDV8 engine. Googled this a fair bit, but there's very little info on the web.
Many thanks in advance guys
