In 4 years all I did on my E430 was two tyres
Blimey. I might have to modify your profile to OOF Daisy ;D

Out of interest, what tyres?



Continental kept it exactly as supplied from new.

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.
That because people who have no knowledge randomly make shit up.  Or hark back to the Classic and BMW era ones (which may have had issues).
.   


I heard all sorts of nonsense about fuel consumption & prices of parts etc. Obviously some repairs will be pricey for example turbo replacements but go into ownership with that knowledge and by using preventive maintenance (change the oil every six months) you might even avoid that problem , my RR is going in Monday for a "once-over" by a colleagues husband who is a LR technician before I start towing the caravan in a couple of weeks, if he finds anything that needs attention it will be attended to asap.

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

Tbh I didn't see anything overly scary with the MOT history, oil is a consumable after all.  :P

I am 100% with you on the wheels, but chances are if you opted to buy some standard second hand rims the first time you needed to swap the tyres, you'd probably make a bit selling those awful items. Or at least pay for the refurb on their replacements.  :y
.   


Perhaps I'm just a fussy old fart but it doesn't look like it's been looked after very well to me & I've never bought a bad car yet.😎

That's why it's cheap Tilbo!  ;D

Exactly plus way too many miles for my liking , some folk prefer high miles but not me.

I don't understand the fascination with them at all[not just the RR but all the rest too]but I hope it serves you well.

I always said that I wouldn't by a Land Rover but after driving this one had to have it if you can just try driving one.

No need ;D

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


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.

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  :y



I bet you've already looked at mine DG 😀

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 😀

In 4 years all I did on my E430 was two tyres & 4 oil changes, and then sold it back to the dealer I bought it from. Can't beat the sound of a V8 😁
