Ok that’s helpful to know, thanks!

I’m afraid the thought of having a V8 is just too tempting. If I wanted diesel I would probably just get a disco I reckon.

That sounds perfect, manageable fixes and a good cruising vehicle. Thanks!

Thanks! I’m pretty set on getting a P38 now

Ah I had meant no equal to a Range Rover in general, as in compared to a BMW X5, merc ml etc. Once you’ve had a Range Rover you can’t go back

I have my eye on a 2001 4.6 HSE, good spec and decent condition, leather seats are a must in my opinion.

I have to agree with you, nothing will beat it. And once you’ve driven one, you’ll never get anything less than it! My Grandfather has a new RR Sport, he looked at changing but simply couldn’t find an equal to it.

Brilliant haha thanks!

That’s interesting, a disco is a viable option for me as well.

Around the £1700 mark (I’m going low) I don’t want to blow all I have on purchasing knowing that inevitably I will need to buy parts etc for fixing!

Yeh I’m sort of counting on prices going up, I would hope to sell it in better condition than I buy it! I’ll try not to go mad on pumping money into it :/

Thanks for this reply, good points mentioned. I am in no doubt if I go for a P38 it will be a 4.6 petrol, I’ve heard the diesel is just sluggish and noisy, I don’t want to buy a big bus that’s not got a nice throaty engine! Fuel consumption will be horrendous but as I don’t plan on any long...

*now in the fortunate position

I appreciate your comment, it certainly does take a different mindset to see the attraction to land rovers, I’m not in the fortunate position to potentially own my own, and it’s a thrilling and privileged position to be!

Thanks, that’s sensible fair advice. I’ll definitely take my time in making the final decision
