Hello,

About to pull the trigger on a one owner, 119k miles Range Rover 5.0 V8 S/C. Has 75% Land Rover franchise servicing and the rest via specialist. Servicing has been carried out at exact 12 month intervals from new to now.

What should I be weary of and looking for? Any hints are very much appreciated.

I'd suggest looking at the new buyer's guide in the wiki for general information applicable to all L322's.

Give the vehicle a good look around for general wear and tear - interior parts are expensive to replace if they are badly worn. Check all the electronic features work - if not, they can get expensive to fix at garage rates, and/or in parts.

On the 5.0 S/C specifically the 2 potential issues you hear about are the timing chain guides and the supercharger snout/bearings. Give the front end a good listen at cold idle and if there's any rattling consider if you want to pay to do either of the above two jobs.

Let us know what you end up buying!

Thanks Paul. Will certainly pay attention to the cold idle.

Collecting on Saturday!
