Used L405 prices have certainly dropped significantly since I last looked. £25k gets you something very nice if you can afford the £10k a year insurance I'd have to pay here in London......

I upgraded in January from a late L322 (2011) 4.4 TDV8 to an L405 SDV8.
I would say that both are spectacular cars in their own way. The late L322 was streets apart from those 2009 and before.

LR say 16,000 miles or annually.
Mine has full LR history and it was done every 15,000ish also.

So, my question is, how are you identifying the leaks? I'd love to be able to even identify 1.
