pld118 did not post 'F**k off Goldrover, you nob'... how did you doctor my posts/ can fight my own battles without the troll intervention thanks

I had not read this before posting my 'platinum' comment on an another thread.. This is constructive.. I thank you!

Glad someone is on the money... thanks

From my reading of this and some of your other recent communications, perhaps you should stop talking about yourself/ things nothing to do with v hickels [on this section] and... if accessing a RR forum, actually read what is being posted about said v hickels... Understand that people like me...

Thanks.. Do they actually look different or is it just the engine, the engine noise, the driving experience and the TDV8 badge that gives it away? I take it the consensus is not to remap or free up power on the TD6 (so as to actually prolong gearbox life etc)?

Thinking of one or two... have seen a facelift 55 plt 80k mls 2 owner TD6, looks lovely, history sounds spot on/ very reassuring seller/ decent warranty... seriously thinking about it but never bought car so old with such mileage before.. and now you're all saying disgard TD6 notions for TDV8...

Hello, Any views on whether for the same money, you would go fo a 120k miles TDV8 or an 80k mls TD6? :confused: Thanks

Don't worry, I'll not be around long.. I'll end up buying a Ssang yong Rexton:p

Chill..

How do you know I'm a guy???... I am very grateful for the input of all...

Ok ta

Well Thats Bollocks... I don't want a L200 or equiv... I do want to buy the best RR that £15k will get me; and as near to 'perfection' as possible... An impossible task but aim low and the target will always be missed! Its reassuring you say £15k will get a nice one.. Just using this...

Could spend more on car if wanted but am being v strict with budget/ whatever I buy.. if it hit the fan, there is ample reserve for a repair but I don't want to go there if poss/ hence am trying to calculate the risk before buying to ensure foreseeable problems are/ have recently been dealt with...

Food for thought.. Do you think a gearbox fail on an 80k mls car would be covered on a warranty or would the 'wear and tear' clause kick in???

How much does buying and fitting (how many hours labour) a revised Valve Block and remanufact TC cost please?

Thanks for an experienced/ heartfelt response and a mildly amusing overview/ pitch. We can afford to run one and any cars I ever own are maintained to the highest order and kept immaculate inside and out (you would buy a car off me I promise... Lol) ... I have never before had the time to...

If I was today to make an offer on a 2 owner facelift 55 plate TD6 with 80k miles.. What preventative work should I ask the selling garage to do on the auto box and other bits too (gearbox has not been replaced or reconditioned to date)?... And whilst only a 2 owner car, what are the tell...

Hello again... I’ve got a hankering for one of these cars and might make an offer on one or two tomorrow/ likely on a ‘facelift’ 2005/2006 Vogue TD6, maybe even a petrol version… but after a couple of posts and the responses/ other research, I’m arguing with myself that my want defies all logic...

Wife does'nt want silver/ personally I do...

Great reply/ thanks... I wouldn't buy one without a decent warranty so gearbox should be covered touch wood... One 55 reg that I quite like was reg'd in Nov 2005, is 2006MY, has the exterior facelift and touch screen sat nav etc.. is that not the full facelift (advert says it has 7 spoke 18"...
