^^^^^this yes! I want another one but fear it's like an ex you get back with and quickly realise why you walked the first time!

Definitely owned at the wrong time with a new born but will always be a memory driving her from hospital in a Range Rover.

I don't know who I'm kidding. I'll be getting another!

The heart wants what the heart wants. Just learn how and what to feed it to keep it health.

Well I previously had 3 of the cars and each was relatively trouble free apart from the usual stuff brakes and oil ... do I miss it ...

No ... it's a bit of metal with 4 wheels .... been quite happy with the cars I had and got in between selling the FF ...

But each to their own is what I say .... nice cars tho 👍 ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Hee hee and with that reality sets in and I think wtf am I thinking!

Had mine off Craig two years ago nearly and apart from a cracked plastic temp housing which is a biggish job not had a thing other than pads and tyres, it was on 112k when i had it now on 137k and still quiet and sweet as a nut cant-believe some think there noisy as you cant hardly hear a thing and picks up at 60 like a shot and pulls all way to double that and more get a belter to start with and that does help and after seeing some tails on here i couldn't have brought a better one so if Craig ever sells his later one snap it up  _____________________________________________________

Bought my first MY2010 3.6 VSE in Apr-16 with one previous owner, full LR history used only for commutes from Oxford to the City by a JP Morgan Bank Director so no expense spared on maintenance and no towing. Researched long and hard for which this site was invaluable and despite the scary stories had to fulfill the dream of owning one ever since I first set eyes on the L322

The wait was worth it and can honestly say its the best vehicle I ever had the pleasure to own. Yes they are expensive to run and repair but nothing feels the same as the throne like driving position of a FFRR

Not to say I didn't squint when i got the 900 pound bill for an alternator, but the trick is to budget for it. A 2K annual fund is set aside for the unexpected, if something needs doing it gets done. If it doesn't then I will have saved the 1200 pounds a year warranty direct quoted! But it has been so far so great and only the alternator which which can be expected at 79K miles.

Just had a service 1 inspection at the local Indy and no issues to report apart from recommendation for new rear disks when changing the pads, also due in another 2K miles.

And with snow being on the forecast and already coming down in the Nortb, you can't be in a better 4x4

It's great to read a dream to own one story remains a dream!

I've started looking for a 4.4 2011 now but will probably change my mind tomorrow

There's certainly a lot of car for your money i've seen some at 23k with just under 80k miles. I'd love to stretch to an autobiography black edition for 7k more but right now that would be madness given my personal circumstances.

Keep us posted with your ownership as people tend to tell more horror stories than stories that work out.

Dear fellow madmen,

This great thread will probably show up in psychology classes .... It will we part of the courses in Cognitive dissonance ....

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychology
The Greek letter 'psi', a symbol for psychology

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time; performs an action that is contradictory to their beliefs, ideas, or values; or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas or values.


YES, its is the best car on earth

NO, its is not cheap.

YES, you only live once

NO, that does not mean you should be reasonable !! Mark Offringa
