That's the place.
I have to admit that the guy was up front about it and said the repairs would be done before the car was sold but I was looking for something I could view, buy & drive away. That's why I didn't bother going to look at it, it's not cheap making two trips to Aberdeen from Stornoway.

From the photos it does look like a nice clean Rangie and with only 45k on the clock it should have sold long before now. All the other V8's of the same age & price range sold within days of being advertised and they all had higher mileage, I know cos I missed them all!

They had a TD6 recently as well for a decent price. Ticked most of our boxes, wasn't too far away, asked about the dealership on a local forum I belong to and got very, very wary indeed. The garage is registered at Companies House as an architect's place, the owners are allegedly gangsters and there were far too many stories about the staff being really threatening and aggressive so we didn't even go and look. 2003 Vogue TD6/1992 Classic 300TDi/2x 1991 Golf GTI/1966 Volkswagen Kombi/2x 1968 Volkswagen Kombi/Probably something I've forgotten...

2003 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Adriatic Blue

My V8 - 2003 On LPG - avaerages 15mpg on gas...I do about 250-280 miles a week with a good mix of town and Motorways....

LPG was the only way I could justify another V8

Why do you ask misteralz? Do you know the car? Or anything else pertinent?

Cheers.

Hey Up Deasy...

It certainly is a more L322 friendly (probably cos it is for the L322) - I do find LZ a little biased against the L322 model, but as times move on and there becomes more members with them, no doubt there will be a shift towards it in the end....
