Categorically DO NOT buy a TD6 Range Rover. The gearbox WILL fail. Possibly repeatedly. Look it up.  :y

The Defender is the same gearbox problems clutch power steering even basic things like the heated rear window failed, paid a fortune for it  & has spent a fortune on it total crap.
Clearly it ain't ;)

Indeed. There's a difference between Friday afternoon shift defender and every TD6 autobox ever put in a range rover. The latter is like rolling a dice with no dots on  ;D
