Seller replied, doesn’t know if it’s had any Haldex services (I assume that’s a no) and it hasn’t had the timing belt or water pump done yet. He says it’s been serviced by a Land Rover approved service center which confuses me, surely if they were doing things correctly it should have had a new...

Thanks for that. I spotted it went up late yesterday afternoon. I wouldn’t be happy spending £10k without some sort of warranty although I did send the seller a message to ask if it’s had any Haldex services and the timing belt/water pump done.

It’s very possible. According to the invoice it was fitted in December 2022 at 43k miles. In theory, it should now be good for another few years - either that or the car continued to rack up big bills so the owner cut their loses and got rid. You pays your money, you takes your chances I guess.

They are. Cheap but all matching.

I should clarify, I originally saw the invoice with loads of items listed. One of the items that caught my eye when I first viewed the car was removal of rear diff, which it turns out was part of the replacement Haldex work. So the diffs are original, the Haldex unit was replaced. The total...

So I went back and had a proper look around the car. It has a main dealer service history for the first three years of its life, then the same independent garage until now. The standard stuff seems to have been done every 5-10k miles: engine oil, filters etc. There’s also an invoice for a new...

It’s a very good point and I totally agree with your prediction, but then, what car that isn’t electric or hybrid won’t be?

That was my initial thought but it seems to be the going rate for a late model SD4 of any trim level? Examples attached. Is the general consensus that spending that kind of money is of little benefit?

I think anything with less than 60k miles on it here varies between £11k-£16k. One reason I have been looking at lower mileage examples is because owners still tend to maintain them well (generally). If you’re not an enthusiast and your car has 100k on the clock you tend to be less...

Thanks for your advice. I’m from Northern Ireland and while I don’t mind travelling for the right car, it would be much easier to find one locally. As you say though, there are loads around. I’m pretty set on an auto and I would much prefer the SD4, although I understand it’s the same engine...

Thanks for your response. That particular example seems to be in fantastic condition with a comprehensive service history. I think only the first few were JLR but it’s been serviced annually. There’s a whole bible of receipts and I spotted one for £1800 from 2022 for work to the diffs which I...

Hi all, Current owner of a Vauxhall Monaro, a Vauxhall Astra GTC VXR and most recently, a Suzuki Jimny. I use the Jimny as a daily around town and the Astra for anything further afield. The Astra is a great tool when you’re in the mood to be a hooligan but the ride is ridiculously harsh...
