Try £12k for a reconditioned engine if you can get one for a RRS

When my last RRS was acting up I swore I would never buy another but I looked around and couldn't find anything that ticked all the boxes the RRS does for me so I bought another

People say you can buy cheaper private or indi but this is not like buying a fiesta or a punto - you want 12 months minimum LR approved warranty and the support of LR customer service if things go wrong before you touch one of these with a barge pole - its your money and you take your chance but I am sure many on here who have been through the joy and pain of owning a RRS would agree

Great vehicles but they are not cheap to fix and can go wrong - but I think the same can be said for all luxury vehicles

I have driven nothing else that compares to a good RRS  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Thanks again. The LR/RR marque is new to me. I think my wife would also agree with you - also would look nice towing the horse trailer We're thinking of replacing her 2006 Shogun - she's had it as a demonstrator - done 75K miles has been trouble free & she loves it. However, having said that don't think we'll get another - very poor on power & residuals are dire. She doesn't seem keen on the German equivalents or the Disco; so doesn't leave much else

I bought a new landcruiser in 1997 after being scared off LR by all the unreliability press - had 3 months of hassle with fault/dealer and ended up with another dealer and although it was reliable after that/functional/cheap to service I just never felt the love or believed the hype about Toyota

I sold it when 3 year old and bought a Freelander 1 and as you can see from my signature never looked back until the MY10 RRS but now rebuilding confidence thanks to the current Black Edition which is pretty special  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
