Looking to buy an SDV8

I’m starting a search for an L405, I’ve discounted the 3 litre because of the potential crank snapping issue.

Just wanted to know if there’s any weak points on them to look out for?, I’ve had L322s in the past so am no stranger to their issues but hoping to avoid gearbox and engine ones if possible, is the 8 speed better than the older 6?.

Also how can you tell if they’re Euro 6 or not?, as I really want to try and get an early Euro 6 if possible given that clean air zones are becoming more common, are they all ok from 2015 onwards?.

I believe that if they have an Adblue tank, then they are Euro 6.

I enjoy my SDV8 - the only snag is a continuing very slow loss of coolant, which I repair when it gets annoying and a new leak comes up somewhere else straight away.

Think about 2018 and onwards that have ultra wide band key security, London is a hotspot for thefts.
Also book a Ghost2 instal the day you take it home.
Check Insurance price first you will be surprised.
If its short London style journeys, think about a Petrol, as you will get significant fuel dilution issues.

Thanks, I should update my location I’m in Hampshire now, I’d love a 2018 facelift one just sadly a bit over budget at the moment.

That does seem annoying, still I’d rather have to sort that than a snapped crankshaft and as much as I’d love a petrol one they’re a bit too terrible on fuel!.
