2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

1) front bushes
2) 2005 with 94k
3) Land Rover Extended
4) Got told it was wear and tear and wouldn't replace them. Got it done for £75 at an independant. RRS HSE TDV6 Autobiography

front and rear anti roll bar and ball joints
2009 60k miles no warranty
LR dealership wanted £4k (nearly vomitted when I read that)
independant sorted front ARBs for £100

2007 TDV8
45000 miles
Front anti roll bar bushes, drop links and bottom ball joints
No warrantee but covered by Land Rover as my car has had so many replaced while under manufacturer cover. Sytnar group Guy Salmon in Bfistol. Downside is have been told Land Rover have now run out of goodwill towards my car after full scale battle over third front diff failure and replacement.
I believe LR quote silly amounts to do rear anti roll bar bushes because they "remove" the body. Local independent who worked at old local dealer says they can and are done at dealerships without removing the body or even lifting it. So don't go to a dealer for rear bushes as they rip back end out of doing the job costwise. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

My Hartwell warranty runs out end of this month (was already on vehicle when purchased) and will be going ahead to purchase WD. Best quote ive had is £575 so far (they started at £877! )

@ Mozilla, my cover is the Extra Care and I got 13 months for £675 with 4 interest fee instalments. It's a pain having to shell out the money for the repair but they do refund it pretty quickly. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
