Get some temporary insurance, take it for a drive for a couple of hours - give it some beans and hold it there for a few miles.

Actally the temporary insurance is a really good idea. Im going to ask for an Extended Sunday drive. £36 for a days insurance is good value if its not everything it should be. |

You have to go for it, hearts and heads in turmoil with should I / shouldn't I. Ive been their twice and each time bought one. Brilliant car, 4.4 TDV8 is incredible BUT they have the propensity to bleed your wallet dry at an alarming rate without warning. There is no doubt it's something you just have to do, like marriage go into it with your eyes wide open and thereon after keep them half closed.

They are really reliable if you look after them there might be a few niggles if it has been sitting around and as Haylands mentioned you can always sell it - expect to see photos before the end of the weekend and welcome to the club |

All good advice above. As said, check for oil leaks underneath (at rear of engine under tray) as the oil cooler gaskets leak on most at some stage. You can also smell it ff bad. Look in coolant header tank for any oil contamination.

Gary, if you don’t go for it you will always regret it. In terms of running costs, on your suggested mileage your looking at a service once a year plus the odd consumable. Think all in £3k pa for tax, insurance, servicing and odds and sods. Investigate a warranty too. In your shoes, I’d be in like a shot for this one.
