Looks like the suspension fault may be the usual failure of wires wearing through on top of mountings as they look to be taped up, could be a simple fix, did you check it raised and lowered and no creaks or bangs and low corners? Restricted performance on a diesel I only have experience of this on a petrol Range rover L322 and that was an injector problem, on my wifes Discovery 4 the same issue came up and was a faulty air filter sensor that was a quick and easy fix.

There is plenty on here who will be better informed than me, but that may be a start.

Isn't that diesel a 3.6L TDV8?

thanks drf. I did test the suspension. no creeks. all worked as it should apart from I put it into off road height and after 5 minutes it lowered itself. then the fault appeared. With all the input and help I have had on this I will not be going ahead with this one.

thanks again

Hi all,

Thankyou for all your advice. I will not be going ahead with this purchase. to many questions without answers. I am looking at an owner on the forum plus a Rangerover down in Surrey. Hopefully let you all know by the end of the week which one I am going for.

getting excited. need to remain calm.

speak to you all soon

Hello All,

Well I m still looking. I did view a gorgeously smooth fast 5.0 AUTOBIOGRAPHY last weekend. ok it did require a few things to be done but then you expect that. first time driving a 5.0 lt petrol and wow. thats definitely a tick on my bucket list. Big Thank you Jamie. I am flying down to London on the 15th to view a 3.6 TDV8 vogue se. the main difference is the 5.0 petrol is a private seller and the 3.6 tdv8 is from a dealer with a warranty.

I will let you know what I find.

Hi Guys,

Well this is the big day. Need to make a decision. Have flown south to look at 2010 tdv8 vogue se. Today i will be picking 1 of 3 i have now got my list down to.

Will update you all when the decision has been made.

David
