Mine 06 2.7 TDV6 is at about 103K, just at the age when I'm replacing the usual (for any car) worn suspension bushes etc. Drives superbly.

Hi Mate,
I was in a similar dilemma to you when I bought mine. I was looking at the cheaper end of the market. There is no question that a good RRS will reward you like no other car, but a bad one ... |

It might be worth having a look at the rear prop shaft center bearing, as that can cause vibration under load, ie up hill at lowish speeds.
It's easy to eliminate, before looking at gearbox rebuilds ... |

Hi and welcome to the forum.
For that budget you'll be looking at the very cheapest ones, which, unless you are very careful/lucky will probably have existing faults. They are also quite complex, a ... |

| If you just drain the oil by undoing the drain plug, only about a half (to a quarter) of the oil will come out. To completely drain it, the gearbox needs to be run and cycled through the gears. The sp ... |

I had a similar dilemma when I was thinking about buying one, and it does come down to what sort of "driver" you are.
