Hi folks well after 7 years the RRS has been moved on. So I removed this that I wasn't prepared to give away while trading in the car.

Full height genuine dog guard. Comes with the upper fittings and the lower fittings (not in the picture). I'd prefer this collecting as it's a bit of weight and may not be viable with courier costs, but we can work something out. £80 plus delivery.

Weekend bump. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

I don't blame you, I did the same when mine went, have a bump on me.
P.S. what did you get?

We fancied something different from LR, not to be interpreted as divorcing LR. We've the 2 dogs so had to be an estate and give us versatility options for the future. I was considering 3 series estates and a blue 330 caught my eye locally. 75k with 1 owner. We went to see it and it was quite stone chipped but the driver's interior looked like it had been owned by Freddie Krueger as its was scratched quite heavily around the cabin. Disappointed we started looking at E classes. A various amount of engine options but I fancied something with a bit of shove. So this narrowed it down to E350s'. Then came the reality of how expensive cars are now for what you get. I'd set a budget of £15k and had a bit of wiggle room. THEN I don't know how but in the wrong category there was a Mercedes CLS Sporting brake. This caught my eye as I didn't know such a car existed and I don't recall ever seeing one. So I started to do research on these and the engine options. Space wise the numbers said it would be OK even with the slightly tapered roof. I then found one locally (33 miles away) so we went to see it. I'd precleaned the RRS and off we went. Blast parked right beside it was a 530 estate in a metallic brown colour and yes it was lovely. But I was blown away by the CLS. We took it for a drive and it was sublime in its ride and every bit as comfortable as the RRS. Considerably more instant acceleration equalled some pleasant progress . Then we took the 5 series out and that had phenomenal acceleration but you wouldn't have known if if it wasn't for the speedo, no fanfair whatsoever. However with the million miles on the BM the MB was the better car and I just couldn't stop looking at it. So we bought it, slightly over my budget at £16k but 2 owners, full MBSH and 65k miles. I've got no regrets. It's obviously a leap forward in performance and technology but it's not comparable with my 2006 RRS. Having had it a week were still in the honeymoon period but I'm happy I chose the right one for us.






It's an E class underneath so plenty roomy enough and has "SLS styling" on the nose. No Gullwing doors though .

Very nice!
I looked at going away from Land Rover, but whilst I don't need the space, a high comfortable seating position was essential. I looked at the usual (sensible) suspects but nothing came close to the "aah" factor so I'm back in a RR.
Enjoy your new ride.
