I doubt these days there is much saving buying abroad but you must check the spec is correct for the UK - warranty should not be a problem but Land Rover Assist might be.
Forgot to ask if the docs show previous owners & where were they.


They won't be laughing much longer......a phone call in order me thinks.

Just going with my second option car that really was first but the Censored wouldn't budge on price. However, of all things its a uk car so Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Currently

NO! Simple answer, Land Rover don't approve any wheel over 20" for the RRS (or any other car they make), because of the capabilities of the car there is no compromise on/offroad tyre bigger than 20" with high enough speed and load ratings for the present range of vehicles manufactured by the company. It isn't a problem for X5,X3, Audi Q7/5 Mercs etc because those makers do not claim to have such good offroad capablities and are happy to have their cars fitted with ON biased tyres from the factory, all Land Rovers leave the factory capable of going straight offroad without any modification unlike all the other manufacturers except Jeep 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

If it is an import it will state it on the log book,I bought my 1st MB in full knowledge to save the VAT but difficult to offload at a dealership when you come to trade it so I ended up losing at the other end!
My advice would be to pass given that there are so many out there at similar prices why risk it? MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

Almost every type of tyre that LR supply on the RRS can be had up to 24".........there are plenty of tyres in that range with more than adequate load and speed ratings.

As far off-road ability straight from the factory - mine was supplied with Censored Wrangler F1s that are useless in true offroad driving.

Thanks for your input guys....

Yes, I've passed on this one and gone for my 1st choice....Went for this 07/07, 10k with full LRSH and a genuine UK car. I've got him to add ps2/dvd entertainment with freeview tv, for my 7yo of course Laughing Also, on the day of collection(next sunday), I'm having it remapped. Who do you folk recommend? My M3 was mapped by DMS and feel confident with their service but I'm sure the vast amount of mappers here can suggest who....better

One last question.....exhaust does it make a difference on RRS's power wise?? Cat-back system??

For the remap, why not give one of our site sponsors a call - just click on 'sponsors' in the banner above. Torqtune and BAS get good reviews. Thumbs Up

Very nice Tikov, looks like it has either the LR optional Lined Oak or Piano Black "woodwork" added too
There's also site sponsor Overfinch - who will supply you with a very nice set of 20" or 22" alloys as well as a remap and tuned exhaust! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
