hello, dont forget to update your car profile so we all know what you got..

Hey, looking to buy a used range rover for the first time, like the original compared to the range rover sport, like a few nice touches but don't want overly bling just a nice looking, safe car for my young family. Thinking around 15 grand, would like advice on mileage, FSH, pointers, best alloy size, things to look out for etc etc, all help appreciated. Cheers.

was you after diesal or petrol as that will help with pointers or are you not sure which to go for "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

3.0 diesel only cheers

i think you need to look out for gearbox issues with that model but im sure someone with more knowledge on the 3.0 diesel will come along soon and advise you  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Well k13ngo your in the same boat as me

As said above on the diesels the gearbox's need to be looked after, also within the price bracket we are both looking at it will be a pre facelift td6. I've also started looking at 4.4 v8's as with an lpg conversion they are cheaper than diesels to run and come with more toys but are more to insure and maintain in the long run what you gain on one side you lose on the other! What spec are you looking at as I'm very fussy and looking for a vogue se which is a big ask for a decent one below 15k

I'm based up north and all the half scent looking ones are all down south or the other side of the country at least . Welcome to both of us I guess

is there a big difference in insurance for th 4.4 V8 LPG? i would consider it, at the moment ive got a pretty open mind, the reason for joining the forum is to learn from others mistakes and get as clued up as possible providing they are happy to share, also interested in what people think about where is the best place to buy from in terms of our price range, autotrader, dealer, ebay etc? Some of the pre facelift models have been 'facelifted' ie grills, vents etc not sure how i feel about that like the look in some way but dont want it to be tacky in appearence...

what are the issues with the gearbox on the 3.0 TD6?

welcome both of you to the forum.. ....maybe start a new thread to discuss as this is for introductions.

Hello to all, I have just bought a 2005 Vogue in black. I really hope that I don't get a banger!

sounds very nice mr tomato, welcome to the forum...

Hi, thanks. I have checked the repair bills and looks like the previous owner has spent a fortune on it already, but nothing noted on gearbox, which is my biggest worry! Will changing the box oil help? It has 59k on the clock. I want to take it on a trip to holland soon after picking it up. And also I want to remap it, anyone know of any good tuner or garage in the Wirral area? Also can I get a smaller diameter steering wheel for this car? Are the 2010 wheels same size?

this is an introduction area so best not to discuss here, but there are loads of answers to your questions on the forum so have a good read first..
