Just thought I'd leave this here as I saw one today, as I was about my business in Manchester  a Brabus G700,.

The main reason I had never considered a RR is the horror stories of running costs, I have every bill for this vehicle & all seem fairly reasonable to me , the OE air suspension pump fitted at 60,000 miles was £653.00  I had far bigger bills on the Hyundai.

I just had to have the alternator and rear passenger door lock assembly replaced (the former because, well, it was knackered and the latter because it was an MOT fail) - £800 at a local indy for a Denso alternator and OE lock assembly, fitted.. I didn't think that was too bad.

It had two new EGR valves under warranty, that was £1000.. but at least the cranks don't snap on the TDV8, unlike the TD & SDV6

Now you can go and get yourself a remap for a healthy 320hp and 550lb/ft or somewhere in that region from either Bell Auto Services or Alive Tuning

My pal at work has had his remapped ,but I don't think I would bother I'm old school , like my vehicles completely as they left the production line that's what attracted me to this one completely stock.

An imposing beast. In that 'star silver' I see.

My last 5 vehicles have all been silver, would really like a nice metallic blue but beggars can't be choosers! You know what I mean Opti 😀

You might need to take your brave pills, but this looks a fine way to spend £3.5k, even if I don't like the wheels

That's cheap!   

Agree about the wheels and not uncommon to see Range Rovers with hideous after market alloys....   

[aaronjb]

Very brave pills! But that's a hell of a lot of car for the money.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Looking suitably demonic in black and probably a few grand more than Mr Tilbo paid.

Take a look at the MOT history personally I wouldn't touch it and those wheels ugh!

[Doctor Gollum]

The on going oil leak is the biggest item of concern. Well that and the airbag warning...

Suspension and brakes on a car that size are very much regular service items

I bet you've already looked at mine DG 😀

[Doctor Gollum]

No need

A car I am considering has nothing worse than a couple of tyres and a smattering of ball joints, so no concern

It's the first thing I look at when considering a car purchase , gives a good insight to see if a car has been looked after.
