United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Carpathian Grey

What a fascinating interesting and informative thread. Bow down

I wanted one for years and finally found a 2014 1 owner 13k FFAB L405. Whilst I couldn’t be happier with my vehicle there is something very appealing about the Westie. 718 GT4

Windscreen replaced yesterday (27th Dec) and went for an MOT this morning but unfortunately failed on 4 front suspension bushes. Being done next week and will retest before the MOT expires - annoying but not the end of the world. Just means first London trip of the new year will be in the AB LE. Current Fleet:-

2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Corris Grey

The Westie turned 100k on Good Friday on its run home from London. Apart from needing new tyres and a service shortly its still great. The windscreen fitted at New Year is being replaced under warranty this week - the heated screen was leaving a large line down the centre and I only just realised the rain sensor wasn't working - a quick investigation shows a large air bubble in front of the sensor.

The Autobiography had a service and Pre MOT check last week on 197k - everything fine although needs a new rear hub carrier bush. I also wanted the tracking down but the track rod ends were seized so new track rods and inner spindles being fitted today and then being MOT'd. The only other thing is that for the third time the mounts holding the oil filter have perished again, so replacing those and I had to put the spare tyre on recently as one of the fronts had a small sidewall bulge. Being replaced today so the spare can go back in the boot. The AB getting a run to London this week so the Westminster can have its windscreen done. Current Fleet:-

So in July 2019 the Westminster had a service - new brake pads and discs all round (Brembo discs were on offer at ECP) and EDC Yellow Pads. Also coolant, brake fluid, oil changed, and filters done too. Clean bill of health at 104,500 miles.

But now I find myself looking at L405's and in particular the 4.4 Vogue SE. Its a lot more money, but they have plummeted in price recently and I've found a couple of 65 plates on dealer forecourts at a very attractive price. Although the side effect is the Westminster has significantly depreciated as well in 18 months so just need to do some man maths on the cost to change.

I am deliberately not test driving any 405's yet though....... (especially as just added another diesel to the fleet - a Claas tractor! ) Current Fleet:-

I know Stan, I know I will too. Ultimately it’s the cost to change and I just need to be happy with the deal. To be fair I’ve seen the car I want but dealer given ball park figure over phone for mine but I think I will advertise it here being one of the very last 322’s and well looked after, specced and maintained.
