Going to keep it for another year (at least)

Was going to go 405 as mine is north of 230k had a look around but cant see what I am getting for a big lump of cash so spent a small bit of cash on control arms front and back plus a couple of wheel bearings will also have the diffs refurbished and about4 or 5 k on paint - cills are shot- so that will last for another year or two

I feel broadly the same with mine - it's getting on a bit, but I have no real desire to change. Ideally I'd buy a LHD, but I have a 'combination of can't be bothered' and 'stick with what you know'

I'm in the same boat. Trying to justify the large outlay for not a great deal more.

Same. It would mean forking out another £20-30k to get a decent year L405. To be honest, I would rather put that towards a L460 in a year or so's time when the production has got better and there are more ex demos around! My L322 has had all the stuff needing doing and runs without any prob so no need to change for me ..... but at 118,000 miles, It's got bit of catching up on you SandyT! Bow down

On paper ( or my 'spreadsheet of doom') the running costs of mine are unjustifiable compared to something more sensible but with a trade-in value of not much more than £4k and nothing under £25k looking attractive a change is not justifiable either. The L405 doesn't appeal as it's too luxury orientated. A late ULEZ D4 is too much of a risk with the crank issues and the Disco Sport has the ingenium engine which looks like an even greater liability. Easier just to do nothing......

Done the man maths but even that has resulted in me being of the same opinion to keep rather than upgrade. Mine is only on 86k and has had oil mod done in my ownership plus gearbox flush etc.
Going in for a service and mot before Xmas and getting new discs and pads done be a bit pricy but should be worthwhile.
There’s a couple of 405’s for sale nearby with less than 45k miles at circa £35k so it’s a major outlay to upgrade and risk a new set of problems ….takes a lot of fuel savings to justify!
Is the sdv6 in the 405 still at risk of crank failure? 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

AFAIK all V6 engines throughout the JLR lineup are a risk as it's 6 cylinders squeezed into a 4 cylinder size block.... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

England 2011 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Sumatra Black

I was very tempted to buy a 2017 L405 SDV8 2 months ago - mainly because of ULEZ charges

only Range Rovers with the SDV8 engines registered later than March 2017 and later avoid the London £12.50 ULEZ charge

this zone is expanding greatly to all the London Boroughs on 29th August 2023

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low...nsion-2023

but even after being offered £10,000 for my nice 2011 L322 TDV8 - the seller wanted £36K, nice motor with 70,000 miles, one owner full service history, so I decided to keep with what I have, and suffer the £12.50 charges - about 5 times a month, and just enjoy my L322 for a few more years Smile

''only Range Rovers from March 2017 and later avoid the London £12.50 ULEZ charge''



my nov 2015 [16my] is ulez and i dont pay the ulez charges...


i to feel any upgrade from my year to a 2018+ would incur much funding..so i'm very happy with my tdv6 even with all the horror Rolling Eyes stories suggested by some members on the forum..

my life circumstances will probably change next year so i could be looking forward to 'going' back to a L322... ... - .- -.

Stan, I have edited my post to say only Range Rovers with SDV8 V8 engines MY17 onwards, something to do with Euro 6 and Adblue additives

MY16 SDV8 models are ULEZ compliant, so from late 2015 (65 plate) onwards.
