These 3 links might hopefully be of some help to you/ others potentially going to buy a RR (if you haven't seen them. There are many other threads by others too).

From my own experience, make sure the FBH / Timed Heat works. It's £1500 to replace. Graham

The facelift cars have an improved interior as well as exterior. Digital dash, better sat nav/entertainment interface, newer style steering wheel controls etc. prices are steadily falling now the new Range is out. Regularly appearing at £30k now. Lloyd Barnes

In my opinion for what it,s worth, if you can afford it, go to a LR main dealer.

Rear shockers leak for a past time and are 10x more expensive than a 2008... Leather wear, the seats are wearing much much quicker on 09> vehicles... |

Thanks for the continued advice: it's really helpful to look at cars with the experience of people who've lived with these cars for a good period of time.

Rusting Hubs is VERY common and is very easy to fix with a quick sand and then Hammerite Black or Silver paint. 15 Minutes each wheel max. The rear rubber seal is removed completely on post 2007 cars and serves no sealing purpose. |

And for good second hand cars, Gazellio has a very good reputation on the forum, so have a quick look at his website and maybe ask him to do a search for you MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
