what error messages flashed up? If it was a DPF fault it will come up amber DPF Full see handbook or red DPF full see Dealer. and there are different ways of clearing both of those.

If you really like the car and are prepared to spend up to £3k to get it sorted, offer him £10k , then walk away if he says no.

If you don’t proceed I am going to be listing mine over Christmas as I can no longer afford to run multiple cars.

Being a 4.4 TDV8, it's most likely an intake leak.

Cheers Gary, yes he said it happened upon first purchase and the DPF needed a chemical clean. The reaction to the fault coming up indicated to me it hadn't happened before, otherwise would have had a pre-made excuse. Or maybe I an being naive, but either way the commentary here has been very useful. Intake manifold sounds expensive, unless its just a joint to be remade. Will see if Surrey Jag & RR can do a diagnostic for a reasonable sum, otherwise will leave it and find another. |

Intake leak is different to intake manifold.

If my test drives prove positive then it’s a case of finding the right spec one. Then I’ll sell. Jan or Feb etc I’ll update on the post already linked 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory" New Defender D300 90 on order so "Rory" will be going to a new home....! 1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie" My preferred specialist: www.glenrands.co.uk -------------------------------------------------- |

Thanks Gary, that sounds an easier fix if the culprit.
