England 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

Lovely.

Love the colour combo.

Just out of interest why the V6? There are quite a few V8s about for sub £60k now and they don't seem to be suffering with this engine seizure issue like the V6s.

I was looking at L405s for a while, but decided that I couldn't stretch to one right now, they're such great cars. Sigh.

The only thing missing for me on this is the panoramic roof. Having driven a few with and without it's become a 'must have' option IMHO. Transforms the feeling of the interior of the car. Can't believe LR made it an option, cheeky sods. Actually, I can - why give something away when people will shell out the thick part of £2k for it? Might not be something you care about however.

Anyway - my ramblings aside - lovely lovely motor. Thumbs Up Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

I have had my 3lt for 10 yrs so thought i would stick with that cc . lower RFL , Ideal spend would be £50k. Not fussed about the roof. Thanks for your thoughts.

Good colour combo, but IMHO its expensive and you defo need a panoramic roof.

United Kingdom 2019 Range Rover Autobiography 2.0 PHEV Loire Blue

I really like Loire - I am looking to replace my current one with Loire Blue or Aintree Green.

Have you seen a Cirrus interior in the flesh? Looks good in pictures but I wasn't a fan when I saw it close up - too grey for my tastes. Might only be me.

V6 is a great engine and my default choice twice now. Nothing wrong apart from seizing up which is just a minor inconvenience and then you're in the hands of the main agents for a replacement. We all know what happens then. Big Cry

Well judging by the comments the 3.0 V6 engine sounds like it must be avoided.

I'm about to tow our 2.2 ton rib to Sardinia and back in a couple of weeks time and if that engine has weaknesses then this may just bring them to the surface. Cool
