Hi Everyone,

Just registered and posted in the welcome thread.

Time is drawing near to a purchase so after a few pointers.
Im also new to the marque so dont know much about them.

Looking at a 05/06 2.7TDV6 HSE
few Q's so i'll fire away.

They do a twin turbo version in this, how can i tell them apart, model number etc?
Is the TT a better option?

What are the must have's , sound, dvd, things like that. some rare options.

Most important bit common problems traits and what to check look for, i've heard wishbone bushes, suspension allignment?


Finally how is the ride with the different size alloys available.

Thanks in advance, can't wait hehe

The twin turbo unit is either a new 3 litre v6 or a 3.6 litre v8. 2.7 comes only in single turbo. Some of the cars (2.7 and v8 ) can be bothered with suspension knock from the Dynamic Response system. Plenty of posts on that topic if you do a search. The v8 is brilliant even if just for the noise from it.  Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

535d m-sport Platinum grey and a few extras.... Gone

X5 3.0 sd in Space Grey, 20's, Dynamic Pack, Memory Pack, Media Pack, Tow Pack, Rear DVD, Panoramic Sunroof, Steps, 7 Seat Pack, Reversing Camera with moving lines, programmable park heat, etc etc etc - Gone

Range Rover Sport Santorini, privacy, dvd, towpack GONE!!!

The best advice for all the time....
