Hello everyone,

Just come across this forum having done a search on google. I am the proud owner of a 2002 Vogue 3.0d in Silver. Picking it up on Saturday and we can't wait!

Welcome aboard noddy,

Good to see another FFRR owner on here - strength in numbers eh! Hope you enjoy the forum as a valuable source of info, very handy. Not been on long either but enjoying.

You'll have to post pics of the new pride & joy on taking delivery - I'm sure the guys will want to see also.

Hang loose,

Dan.

Thanks. I will post pics as soon as I get chance.

I've paid £11,700 for it- it's a 2002 Vogue in Zambezi Silver, 82k with Oxford navy Leather and cream piping, finished off with Cherry wood. I presume all the bells and whistles are standard on a Vogue - Satnav, sunroof, Hill Descent etc in which case, I won't go into detail on what it's got. Bought it from a small garage and he's put 12 months MOT and tax on it, plus 3 months engine gearbox & diff warranty.

I won't describe it as immaculate at this stage as I'm quite anal about cars. I'd say it was very good condition. It's got a few small stone chips to the bonnet front and lower bumper and a couple of faint laquer scratches to the bodywork, which will come out with a bit of 1500 wet and dry and to be expected on a 7yr old car. So, in a few weeks, it should be to my standards!

I love the interior and how it drives. I was considering an X5, having owned 3 BMW's since 1999. I've just sold a 323i convertible to make way for this latest purchase.

A few people are already putting me off the car, saying they are thirsty. My 323i only did about 21 around town and was doing 35 on the motorway yesterday, so I think it's not going to make much difference to me.

Hi Noddy & welcolme

You should get around early 20s around town and late 20s on longer motorway runs so dont be put off by what people say it isnt bad.

Example photo- it's identical to this one

Welcome Noddy,

Nice choice! IMO, the only thing wrong with the earlier Vogue TD6 model was the alloys. If you fancy a cheap update, look out for the newer alloys on ebay. By the time i sold off my old alloys, my new alloys and tyres cost me £150! Discovery 4 HSE
1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF
1982 Series 3 Hard Top

*Gone:L462 D5 HSE LUX, L663 Defender 110 HSE, Discovery 3 HSE, 2014MY Range Rover Sport 5.0 Supercharged AB Dynamic; L405 Exec Vogue SE 4.4, 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography, Defender TDCi XS CSW, Defender TD5 HT, Vogue SE TDV8, Vogue TD6, RRSport SC 4.2V8, Classic 3.9 Vogue Auto, Land Rover Series 3 SWB

YEah, I was thinking the same thing, but when I went to look at the car, the alloys were in mint condition and didn't look too bad "in the flesh" so to speak. I would like a bigger set though in time but for now, these will have to do!

Granted they are thirsty , but nobody buys a FFRR if they are concerned about the MPG , plus the people that are putting you off have probably only smelt the fumes from a FFRR's exhaust , they are talking out their arse F em
