Hi,

New to the site.

I am in the process of looking at 2006/7 L322 Supercharged FFRRs.

Have others that have purchased used FFRRs had pre purchase inspections done? I am fairly clued up on the potential issues and reasonably technical, however I'm aware that there are a few pitfalls and want to take the 'belt & braces' approach.

Who would you get to inspect it and when would you get it done (before placing deposit, after placing a deposit etc).

Any advice really appreciated.

Hi

I wish I had an independent one done - I got mine from a main dealer which a so called inspection, loads of issues had to be rectified post sale which they eventually put right.

So I would go for AA/RAC

It will be interesting to see what experiences people have had with them 2005 L322 Vogue Gold gone
2006 L322 Vogue Black gone
2011 L322 Vogue Silver gone
2011 L322 Autobiography Black gone
2015 L405 Autobiography LWB Black gone
2019 L405 P400e Range Rover Autobiography LWB Eiger grey / black roof gone
2001 P38a 30th Anniversary Wimbledon Green gone
2019 L405 P525 Autobiography LWB British Racing Green

I've had inspections done before on other cars in the past. I had a RAC one done before and it was very thorough, maybe a little OTT, but I think there's also an element of arse covering. I also had an inspection done on my 911 C4S by an local indy specialist and it was worth the peace of mind.

I've read some really dodgy reviews of RAC & AA inspections on the web where they have missed loads of stuff - maybe best off with an indy specialist - however new to LR so don't know any or the area where I'm doing viewings this weekend.

I had an AA one a few years ago where he was thorough but about a month later I had to get new suspension arms. I queried the AA and they said tough. It is all only advisory etc...

I used Rovertune in Reading. They know Land Rovers inside out. Seller was happy to take it over to them which made it easier.

But they might be a bit far for you.

+1 for Rovertune

I'm looking at RRs in Essex and Hertfordshire over the weekend - anybody know of any good indy's that way?
