Tell me everything about 4.2 super charged full fats.

With the impending doom of the ulez being extended out my way, the very edge of the m25 literally 3 miles inside in the country side part but still a London Borough.

I refuse to give up full fat owner ship I just can't drive anything else sooooooo I have maybe a year left to enjoy my L322 m62tu and my P38 V8 a house move right now just can't happen so the search will begin for a decent standard 4.2 super charged.

So as the title says TELL ME EVERYTHING SUPER CHARGED I need to know as iv read everything on the forum I can find.

Quite pleased i got my one now to be honesy mate when I did as noe the price of ulez cars will go up I suspect.

Same as any range rover, check the sills and make sure they are good, check for history, soon as you get one, get the box in for a megaflush and service with all oils, fluids etc.

Other then that they seem pretty straight cars. I'm enjoying mine to say the least.

Biggest killer is petrol at present. I run mine on momentum and its costing £150 to fill up but everyone's in the same boat if I'm honest

As far as I can see apart from the engine and gearbox it's pretty much the same as my current car. Which has lpg . A mate has a 4.2 on lpg with no issues but unsure if it's got valve saver but as he says since getting it so cheap it's a no brainer.

There is a 55 plate at a back street car seller for not to much money currently no mot and x4 recalls that have not been done on the mot checker.

Mite be worth a look see if nothing else but to check out the condition of the sills and arches.

Go into it expecting to spend a few quid to get it right and then look after it and it will be good as gold
I bought mine 0n 60 odd k miles 9 years ago now on nearly 220k drives like a dream did the wheel arches a couple of years ago and the sills will need doing sometime
Great reliable cars use mine daily

when i got mine i put it on a 4 post ramp in my workshop it was up there for 5 months and i replaced every drop of fluid on the vehicle with all gen oils and liquids and filters etc . i stripped it there was more parts of than on at one time every thing went back with stainless steel bolts nuts screws etc all sills done and body work all done i enjoyed every min of it to bring such a nice car back or if not better than it was . when i do things i look at improving what was there in the first place and making items fit better etc . i all ways change my oil and filter every 3k miles with right oil and gen filter the old oil gets pumped in to the box sections and any cavities . i have had a lot of land rovers in the past but seem to talk to this one more saying well girl i have done all i can for you it is time for you to look after me now fingers crossed all well to date

I still prefer my L322 v8 but with impending ulez this will have to do for now until I find a good s/c fullfat

You need the Ninja H2 if your marmite is supercharging and not turbos or normally aspirated petrol …..
