Back in the game.....
So after selling my HSE Lux last year, I'm back in the game and to be fair nothing is tickling me other than going back to a Disco 4 (potentially 4th one)
I've thought about XC90, GLE, GLS, Q7 and SQ7 but even though I love my German vehicles for an SUV its just not doing it like a Land Rover....I've even applied for an Hybrid Hyundai Santa Fe on Lease at £15k for three years at 8k miles (er indoors does not think so!)
I'm looking at a 2015 HSE Lux which has had the following work done at 71k on the clock in Oct 21.
Full engine replacement, including both cambelts & the water pump
Full exhaust system replacement
Both turbos replaced
Fuel filter replaced
Oil filter & engine oil replaced
Power steering fluid replaced
Brake fluid replaced
Antifreeze replaced
WBAC price is a tad over £20k and the owner is asking £24k...being a Northerner you know how we like to negotiate once I've viewed the documentation & car.
The funny thing is I paid £25k three years ago from a main dealer for the same vehicle with less miles.....
It sounds like a few good years of motoring if all is good with the mechanics and I can then/maybe get a 911 or RS4 with some wifey persuasion.

Its a March 2015 so expect to have stop start but no adblue which would make it a Euro 5 although think its the lower road tax.

For me it would have to be a genuine Land Rover new engine fitted, with appropriate paperwork and guarantee. Too many stories of second rate reconditioned engines around.

I have to agree with Gareth.

The engine replacement was done under insurance due to water ingress into the turbo at a cost of £16k. I spoke to the garage who assures me that they did not take any shortcuts and used brand new original parts despite the lengthy waiting times over covid.

Full exhaust system replacement

Full service plus power steering, brake & antifreeze replaced

Happy to say another proud owner of my third Disco 4.
Got a few little bits to sort out like the slightly worn end of arm rest that needs re-colouring, back seat pocket needs a few stiches, back dvd has a few chips of colour taken out by probably an unruly child and the usual seat belt trap damage into the door and seal.
Anybody know of any auto upholsters in the Midlands please let me know.
Love the colour a Barlo Black Premium Metallic don't think I have seen it before.
