If you look at a TDV8 examine the service history regarding oil changes the previous owner of mine kept up the routine of oil & filter changes every six months, my independent who went over my car also stressed the importance of this to preserve the turbochargers.

TDV8's also have timing chains which should last the life of the engine, so no belts to worry about! As stated history and condition is everything. Good luck with your search..  Current: 2010 RRS 3.6 TDV8 HSE

Don't know what that is pmsl

That was for peachy btw. 3ltr looks better on fuel am I barking up the wrong tree here or would the 3.6 be better choice

I’ve not bought any of my green ovals with fuel in mind! Current: 2010 RRS 3.6 TDV8 HSE

Just looked it up peachy 2013 onwards. Yeah I'd love to take a look

Hiya Micheal
I bought my RRS 2012 sdv6 in sept, with no research or intelligent thinking.
fortunately I have been very lucky , had no issues but ensured all maintenance tasks are up to date
nearly £3k to date spent , and have clocked 9,000 miles on top of the 96k when purchased
but now in hindsight I think I would have gone for the V8 engine rather than the sdv6
it is always constantly in the back of my head , about the crankshaft/Engine issue ...
But Love driving the car, so enjoy it while I can..

Obviously don't know your budget, but if you can live with the fuel cost go for the S/C every time, although am biased I guess. previously had a TDV8 cracking motor.

Cheers
Col

Ha not got 60k for one of them

Really looking forward to a 1st outing in one. Wonder if I'll be disappointed

I bought my 2009 tdv6 3 years ago from a company that was going under, did not do any research about this vehicles, to cut a long story short 12,000 pounds or 24,000 dollars have spent on repairs over this time, and now needs i think another 2,500 pounds to have the HPFP replaced, was serviced by a back st garaged as there was no Land Rover dealers nearby, luckily i had 3 years mechanical warranty which i purchased just after i bought it so they boar the major cost of repairs, in my ownership it has been service by LandRover, these are a high maintenance vehicle and need lots of money to keep on the road if they go wrong, would i by another i am not sure even though its the best car a have driven over 35 years, if you are going to buy a RRS then take out a mechanical warranty for sure, good luck in you search.

Yeah I don't imagine taking on one of these without a warranty as would spoil the experience fuel insurance road tax and servicing will be bad enough. Looks like I may need to spend more than I wanted but atleast I can plan 3 years of driving one. That's the plan anyway

Ok so I've found a 3ltr to look at 16k 2012 66k on the clock and offering an RAC warranty . Does any of you know is this a good warranty also at this mileage and engine what will have needed to be done to make you happy with the service history

Do you have any links to it ? Sorry can’t comment on RAC warranty but it’s now 7 years old so would need it’s expensive service  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
