Hello all

As some of you may know, I have been on and off the forum for the past few years trying to find my ideal fattie. Well it didn't happen. I couldn't afford to buy a top end L322 and didn't want to risk running an L322 or L405 on a low budget after spending all my money buying it.

I am now happily in a position where I won't be using a fattie as my daily driver and therefore looking to take on an older model. Ideally I'm after a 2002 - 2006 TD6 or V8 (petrol or diesel). Mileage is NOT an issue but condition is. The budget is up to £5000 and the closer to Hampshire the better.

I don't mind one with a few issues, but preferably no "spares or repairs" projects. Running and driving with minimal rust and not that many fault codes would be grand. Happy to turn my hand to jobs that can all be done with simple tools on the driveway.

What's out there? Hopefully this time something might actually end up in my garage! Dark blue and green are number one colour choices and no rear seat entertainment either please but this isn't a deal breaker.

Cheers

How about a 2006 Supercharged in Buckingham blue with 231k miles? Rear arch rust and sills just sorted.

With the market the way it is just now, you could well struggle to get a really good one for £5k.  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather
2007 Range Rover Supercharged in Java Black with Ivory Leather
2012 Range Rover 5.0 SC Autobiography in Indus Silver with Jet/Ivory Interior
2012 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography in Baltic Blue with Sand Interior

Hang on 2-3 weeks….. prices are dropping…..

I’m open to older than 2006 models as well now to open up options a bit. Current vehicles:

I'm doing my best to find you one... Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
New Defender D300 90
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"

Hi mate,

If you haven't found one in the next few months, send me a DM. My project is in my link below.

I might sell my 05 plate, 2006 MY 4.2 SC with 162k miles.. once i've had a play with it and sorted it all out.

Apart from the rust (which will all be sorted, properly) , it is in great condition and running great. I won't sell until I have it tip-top.. which will basically be a full underside restoration really.

If I am honest, I am a little underwhelmed by the car... possibly due to having pent up excitement of owning it about 6 months prior to driving it on road. With that in mind, I can't justify it as a 4th car.

While I may end up keeping it longer term, I can see myself getting it into great nick and moving it on.. (07) 2007 3.6 TDV8 L322 - 135k miles.
(05) 2006 MY Supercharged L322 - Zambezi Silver on Jet Black - 162k miles.

** Smiles per gallon - never forget **

For those interested I have found and bought an L322 at last. All those that messaged, thank you. Thread to follow in my Range Rover section.

Special thanks to @Kezbo1981 for offering me his and all the info regarding it. Also massive thanks to @DrRob for ALL his advice and assistance. Very much appreciated. Current vehicles:

Hope you enjoy the new toy! Show us a photo...
