Hi

My hunt for RRS is still ongoing and yet to find the perfect one

Been looking at sdv6's mostly but came across this and sort of in my budget

What do you think?

Is it overpriced?
How much more does it drink compared to sdv6?
Any major service interval around this mileage?
Compared to sdv6, is it really worth it?

I do roughly 250 miles per week, mixture of A13 and local London driving

You need to investigate a couple of items that are claimed for it - my 2010MY and 2011MY original brochures don't mention 4 zone aircon as an option, only 2 zone as standard and cooled seats were not offered either in model year. Maybe some owners on here can correct me but according to the LR brochures neither was offered as options for that model year.

From the 2010 brochure mpg claims are
TDv6 urban 25.2. Extra Urban 34.9 Combined 30.7 CO2 243
TDv8. 19.3 31.4 25.5 CO2 294 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I'd stay away from that one. The advert is wrong in its claims about the spec. It appears to relate to a later model - not sure the RRS had 4 zone AC or cooled front seats, for example. The photos don't show controls for these anyway. Not sure a 2010 RRS ever cost £80k either.

Someone with more knowledge of the various versions and options will be along soon no doubt to confirm or otherwise.

Edit: Tim beat me to it! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I don't think that there was ever a limited edition (LE) version of the TDv8 RRS and 2010 was the last year of production of the 3.6 TDv8 as I was too late to order one in February 2010 and I ended up chopping my 2007 TDv8 in for an L322 FFRR 3.6 TDv8 Vogue (big mistake as the RRS TDv8 was a superior handling vehicle) as the 3.6 stayed in production in that model up to October 2010 when the 4.4 TDV8 FFRR was introduced. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

As for the questions about TDV8 or SDV6, I'd go with the SDV6. The TDV8 is lovely but the SDV6 is about as quick and gives noticeably better fuel mileage.

For the same money as that TDV8 there are SDV6 available from LR dealers showing on AutoTrader. They'll come with a decent warranty and the usual legal protection if it's a pup. That private sale one leaves you on your own. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

SDV6 and get it from a main LR dealer for the warranty.....YHBW  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

If you do a search on the LR Approved Used website there are some very nice facelift RRS's within 100 miles of a central London postcode that I typed in, within £500 of the price of that one you linked to but with slightly higher miles than it, but you will get LR warranty with them. Most are HSE's not Autobiographies though. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks for the responses guys. Really would prefer autobiography sdv6, but streching my budget quite a bit with LR

Still searching and thinking of getting F10 535D

I am so confused!

I had F10 520d, now an F31 335d, it's a cracking engine, there's no doubting it, but you can't compare to an RRS, they are completely different categories. Stay with trying to find an RRS....from someone that has moved away  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

What do you think of this?

Thats no range rover

We think wrong forum

Nice spec, great it got the sport transmission option (it can be retrocoded, but is a PITA job and no main dealer ever will do it), too bad it's white, BMW Teleservices will need new contract. Still, it's nothing to really write your mum about, it just doesn't stand the comparison to the RRS which is basically a completely different kind of vehicle (yes, I know the BMW is faster and more efficient). Regards etc.,

It'll struggle to tow anything meaningful, it'll be crap in snow and it won't do this:


Other than that? It's a nice enough BMW diesel saloon pretending to be an M-car...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Amazing what some folks will do to find a parking slot away from all the other cars at their local supermarket car park............... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
