10-12k is plenty to buy one....your issue would be if you think you will be able to run one on normal 10-12k car money.

Don't be it off by the horror stories. £3k per year running costs is way over the odds. do your research and choose well. I got advice from a dealer friend of mine when choosing mine and had no probs. my bills have only been for brakes, service etc so less than £1000 over 3 years.

Most of my customers dont spend much more than £500 a year by the time a service and MOT have been taken into account...

Does anyone run these older models with a warranty, such as warranty direct. (£750 main dealer. £675 franchised). Or do LR. Do a warranty for them. Other costs would be good at this stage.

Depending on how many miles you do per year, have you considered a newer S/C with the ZF gearbox ?? MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

The cheapest I found a rebuilt Td6 gearbox with the Sonnax valve block upgrade and Torque Converter was about £1495 + VAT.

The TDV8 is a huge improvement on the TD6. I've got one and love it.

Branco, I have a TDV8 & now have put 30k on her not so much a blink of an eye, she was serviced my Rovertune a week ago & is still running perfectly no warnings, the owner said she is in top condition, which is always nice to know
