I am somewhat biased and love my black TDV8. The TDV8 has lots of kit not mentioned in the ad such as adaptive headlights and adaptive cruise.

As it is in Scotland I wonder if you could pay Disco Mikey to inspect it for you and cost any work it needs (there will be some)

At least the ad is spelt correctly and there are no silly chav after market parts  2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Sounds like a plan, Disco Mikey I will drop you a note directly...thanks for the help guys.

The second one is original (in terms of no body mods) so that's a good start. The odd tyres is slightly worrying but at least the Sunny SN3970 in size 275/40/20 is load rated at the correct 106. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

@RRSTDV8 found this beauty which I'm viewing on Saturday - it' closer than going to Scotland
I've got my checklist in hand and ask the dealer to confirm if the cambelt has been changed - he didn't know.

Hi

If it's a Tdv8 it doesn't have a cambelt, it has a chain so don't need to worry about that.

Cheers

Gents, update on my search, so paid a deposit on a Bonatti Grey TDV8 with 55K on the clock only for the dealer to ring me to advise someone has/is paying £3k more - I told him where to go with it and got my deposit back.

Test drove an 08 TDV8 61k miles on sat and it checked out ok - apart from 'a park fault' warning light when I tested the hand-brake. Told the dealer to have it checked out before we proceed.

Question is there a forum member in IP12 area ok to check it out for me again? happy to pay, I'd rather a forum member than the RAC to be honest.
PM me...
Cheers.

Just to clarify - was it a message you saw pop up on the dash saying "PARKBRAKE FAULT" or something similar?

If there was no message and all you saw was the red Park Brake light that stayed illuminated after applying the brake - that is normal. The red light stays on for a few minutes after switching off.

Just checking...... 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Hi Paddi, it was an error message pop with 'park brake fault!' on the dashboard after I let my foot of the brake before turning off the engine.

worse scenario could be up-to £500 worth of repairs - if the seller does fix it get the guarantee on the part or parts used  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
