Hi all just joined the forum because I'm close to buying the above RRS in part ex for my FL2. Can you let me know what the top 5 biggest potential problems are, which I should look out for ?
Thanks a lot Nick

Warranty. Buy from a dealer and get the LR approved warranty. 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.

Some things to check are

Suspension, does it rise and lower properly.
Low range, does it engage.
Any knocks on slow bumpy roads.
Corrosion underneath
Check for leaks from ARBs, seems to be a lot of these recently, maybe made worse by cold.

Go for one with full service history too.

Check that it has the spare wheel still in the holder underneath the car.......... they often get stolen. Wheels should also not be bigger than 20" alloys. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi all - many thanks for the insights - highly appreciated.

One more question ; can I get a LR Approved Warranty on a RRS from 2011 ?
