Very solid TD6 that I bought from a fellow FFRR member in Dec 16. It has been a superb tool for my commute round the M25 and holidays etc and has been my lounge on wheels for 23000 miles in 20 months - so much so that I am looking to upgrade to a newer L322.

Fatty has had nearly all the expensive/common bits done by myself and previous owner and is a fabulous spec. (I don't know if they actually offered an Autobiography in 2006MY but the LR spec sheet says "debadged Autobiography" and the spec is very high).

It is showing its age in a couple of areas and has a few scruffy bits and this is reflected in the price which I think is about as cheap a 2006 TD6 that I have seen without mega miles.

I am pretty fussy with stuff and tend to buy/sell my cars on forums cause you have a better chance of a knowledgeable/caring owner so there is a lot of detail below! I also have been as frank as possible with the scruffy bits so you can see what you are getting.

So here goes…..

2006MY TD6 SE/AB - Buckingham Blue
Registered 7/9/05
Mileage currently 141000
MoT till 5.8.2019

Good bits:
Transmission rebuilt in March 2016 with new TC and output shaft by STA Aylesbury (one of the reputable shops)
New Garrett turbo fitted Jan 2016
Superchips Bluefin chip fitted which works really well - circa 200BHP and I still get 28MPG on M25 commute
2 new front air struts (Delphi) fitted in last 6 months and air suspension all working well
Rear lower suspension bushes replace this year and nearly all other suspension arms/bushes replaced in last 3 years
4 new Hankook Evo 2 tyres 5000m ago (see note below)
6 refurb Bosch injectors and new leak off pipes fitted this summer
New Lucas alternator and new thermostat September 17
New a/c radiator/condenser and re-gassed this year
New Brembo front pads fitted last week
Varta 020 Battery fitted last year

Spec highlights:
Full RSE with working headphones/DVD/Remote
Heated front and rear seats
Two tone blue/parchment interior with colour coded door handles
Heated steering wheel (colour coded)
Heated front screen
Westfalia detachable towbar fitted last summer (to tow my Beach Buggy )
Side steps

Scruffy bits:
Drivers seat has normal wear and has a slightly discoloured patch in middle (think someone has tried to use a slightly too light dye)
NSR D pillar has a large dent, no rust (aluminium panel I think) and not pierced so doesn't really bother me
Slight scratches to NSF wheel arch
Rust bubble on OSR wheel arch/door shut
Both front and rear bumpers have seen parking action! (not by me)
A few dings etc on bodywork commensurate with age.
FBH doesn't work although the circuit board checks out OK and the fan fires up so I think it is the fuel pump that is U/S (remote is present)
The two rear tyres although new have feathered on the outside edge. They are still legal and the wear is right on the edge not on the rolling radius but full disclosure - its there. When I fitted the new rear knuckles it was a couple of weeks before I could get a 4 wheel alignment done and it did this. Been no further wear in the last 4000 miles.

All the major items are in pics below so you can see exactly what is there - as above I have tried to be very honest and these scruffy bits are reflected in the price.

Sales Terms:
Obviously sold as seen but I have a spreadsheet with all the service records/invoices I have and the full spec from LR which I will happily e-mail over as I can't see a way to add a file attachment here....
I am very confident in this car, so much so that I would drive/deliver it pretty much anywhere in England if you are happy to pay my diesel/train fare back - (would need to have the vehicle paid for before I start journey though!)
Also happy to screen shot any fault codes present which are all non-critical/operational (like EGR delete, TPMS not present etc.)

So, £4650 for a very solid, very nice TD6 Fatty - who could say no?

Pictures are added as second post so it doesn't take a year to load the add

mm289, family are ecstatic, especially the kids. Ride back to Cardiff was a dream.

Thanks again, been a pleasure doing business with you. Purchasing from a forum was a first from me and it is certainly the way forward.

Awesome Ash, glad it is what you wanted
