Welcome to the club mate.
I am the new owner of a 4.2 supercharged 2007 in Stornoway grey. Purchased about an hour ago so will post a couple of pics later. Pick her up Wednesday.
While on the test drive it said 15.3 mpg when I started her up.
This one only had 26000 on the clock. I'm looking forward to joining the heft repair bill club lol.
The test drive put the biggest smile on my face ever

Ahh yes that test drive smile, and the big smile on the drive home, hope you got tinted windows, driving home smiling to yourself others on the road wonder why you look so happy cant be just that gas guzzler your driving, but you now feel life is good. Even with repaire bills and problems it still makes you smile just to know you have it.

All the things being done on mine still happy to know its there when get back to uk. I have a video of the body as its taken off and show it to my friends, not to show I'm a fool for buying it, because its a great car, and in great shape, besides once that body is off I think it cuts labour cost to do everything else, everything is easy to get too.

Drive it, fix it, enjoy it. This is a range rover sport its to be enjoyed. Java Black 2007 TDV8 HSE (my first RRS)

Hi guys

It's been a while since I last posted, but incidentally I'm also looking at buying a supercharged.

From all the research I've done on this forum, I understand that it's the most reliable engine wise. I've read quite a few sorry tales of tdv6 and tdv8 failures.

Would this be a correct observation? Less is more, more or less

Had my 2006 4.2 SC for 8 months now, no engine problems at all. Just like every other RRS owner, I get the normal problems with suspension etc. 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

Yes, I am so tempted to buy a SC, a friend of mine just parted with a 2011, px all he got was £24K. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Read warranty direct's latest mail to all their members, no longer can Rangeroover and unreliability be used in the same sentence..... BMW, AUDI Cherrokee jeep etc. Pftt.  2010 RRS, TDV8
