Still a good point Simon , just not so much an issue on the TDV8, which it will be if he’s looking at 2007 onwards.....as per post above.

Doesn’t seem unrealistic to me..... especially at that budget.....

Hi Dean,

I agree with mjd your budget is healthy for a TDV8.

If you haven't already you can flick through the for sale section here and find nice examples like:
http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic44430.html
or
http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic44084.html

ok these are over 100k but then again then are priced under/well under £10,000

Best advice is to trawl this forum to get familiar with typical gremlins (like turbos on 3.6's gearboxes on TD6's), you will pick up the common issues, things to watch for etc.

And sounds obvious but use the selling websites to do the leg work for you - play around with and set search parameters into Autotrader and the like and they will send you alerts. Try keeping your criteria range narrow and be patient.

In the end, you'll be able to swap to a photo of yourself hanging out the back of an FF and not an estate once you find The One.

Good luck! Cheers, Greg

It is lack of use that kills them not high mileage if you are using it daily it will be fine you may have a few niggles but once you get them sorted all should be good - I run a petrol on 150k and it was fault free for until earlier this year when my mileage fell off since then niggles with electrics mainly due to low voltage with the battery - just keep it maintained and you will be fine

Great to hear so much positive feedback.

Looks nice Dean. Check the L322 Buyers Guide in the wiki section. There's a lot in there and it's a lot to check on a first visit to see a car. Another area, regardless of engine and year are the rear arches. Do check these. Again there are many posts on this. It will also show the dealer you're not a newbie.

Lastly, service history is key so ask to see it as much as they have. try to take copies or at least write down what's been done and when. Take a notebook.

Good hunting!

. Cheers, Greg

here's an interesting video for the L322 model years and their associated common problems,

Noticed oil seepage from hose leading to and from what looks like radiator.. any ideas?

Don't suppose you took a photo? Porsche 911 (996)
2015 BMW 5 Series Touring
Not got a LR of any kind at the mo, and got itchy feet.

I did, apologies; I couldn't post it at the time. Chap selling mentioned that he'd replaced the hoses recently as they'd split and seems to think he may have just under-tightened the hose. Here's a couple of pics

They are the intercooler hoses, they do go quite often, and it may have been from when they were split.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Did the car feel good?
Did it pull really well? Responsive throttle?

You might find with that much oil there, the map sensors could do with a good clean up or replacing.

This is what mine looked like when I took them out, the one on the right had been cleaned up, sorry it is a bit blurred, but it will give you an idea.
Once cleaned up the car pulled so much better.

I thought as much. Yes, pulled really well indeed. It's been a while since I've been in an L322 and it felt great!

I had my FFRR TD6 from new and sold it with circa 240k miles on it a year or so ago. Fab thing, just keep on top of it servicing wise. Current:
2010 RR Supercharged V8 40k miles
2004 TVR Sagaris Road Track Prototype - Insane
2002 TVR T350 Pre-Production Prototype - Viceral
Previously:
2003 RR HSE - Owned from new - sold with 246k miles - yes 246k miles
2003 TVR TuscanS - Did what it said on the can
2000 Defender SWB - Iconic
1969 Series 2A Air Portable - Almost Concourse - Took to Buck Palace to see the Queen
