Hi there,

So I’ve been many years without a Fullfat, having had a couple of V8’s, and SC’s a few years ago. Probably my favourite ever car, apart from the fuel cost.

So I’m sorely tempted currently by an SDV6, however it’s had a replacement engine two years ago.

It’s a 2016 car (Eu6), with 118k miles, though engine more like 50k. Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance. Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

I'm not a mechanic or tech but i have had a lot of RR's and for me MY63 L405 V6 is one of the best RR's I have owned.

I know the V6 have crank issues, but i didn't have one issue in four years, purchased with 3000 miles and swapped at 60000 miles, oil change every six months.

I’d be more worried if it had JUST had a new engine say within 20K miles.
Get a full RAC inspection done. If SE or AB spec, then specifically have the roof drains and active suspension pipes checked for corrosion. If it drives sweetly with no smoke or hesitation, and stops in a straight line, maybe buy it and then change all the fluids/megaflush. Make sure its had all the belts changed, and have oil pressure checked. The V6 engines need a new oil pump done with the belt service, but many owners are cheapskates and do no preventive maintenance.  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
