Thank you so much everyone with your advice.

Im definately going along the route of purchasing one, and will start looking at the end of this month. Im in no real hurry, so can wait for the right one, but would be nice if something came along within a month or so. If it comes along already converted then awesome, but ive decided i do prefer the look of the converted ones, so even if i buy a non converted and run it for a few months, fitting the later 2012 front and rear will definately be on the cards at some point.

Im still going to be looking for a diesel i think.

Lol all that said ive just seen:-

and kinda looks awesome! hahaha

Thats a pretty rare colour. Not many of those for sale.

The only thing that really starts me off ranting is the grille thats not correct. I don't mean its non OE, I mean its for the facelifted model, which that is not. So the wipers hit the grille edge and don't sit flat where they should. Just looks an to me.

Swapping for the same one but right for the year is easily possible though.

It does look tidy, and whilst not being a fan of chrome, it looks better against that blue.

Would look really good with Supercharged rear lights, ie both clear...... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I just brought a 2006 FF RR supercharged with 68k and BRc LPG kit on it for 11800, i did try a 2003 with a updated front end but still felt old inside may be worth saving a few more pounds??

Are the 2006 a lot later inside than an 02? Or just the 4 year extra wear?

May have a look at a HSE this weekend. Isn't my first choice as is 2002 and stereo system been replaced and not connected. I don't think its going to be "the car" but it's a dealer so I won't be wasting anyone's time.
Have read a few articles saying the only FF worth buying second hand (if you want toys) is the Vogue as it has all extra toys on it, venture cam, heated rear seats and steering wheel, pre set heaters.Better seats, sunroof etc..

I understand gearbox, service history, air con, suspension bushes.. Is there anything else that's regular to test?
I'm not concerned with tyres scruffy trim, as I can do that myself.

Cheers guys
