Wnet and had a good look at them both. Went for the V reg. It has everything - Ele heated seats, heats mirrors windscreen, climate control, 7 seats, radio controls for all passengers, rear air con, elc sunroofs, auto leveling, cruise control, and full leather interior and much more I can't remmeber. The engine was a total replacement fitted by landrover at a cost of £4000 + 35,000 miles ago and it has a new turbo, gear box has been serviced etc.. seen all the paperwork all by landrover. I figure anyone who can afford to replace the engine at that cost hasn't skimped on servicing. It also has a full landrover service history, there isn't a scratch on it and the chassis is lovley and clean.

I am getting a 12 mot and 3 year 5 star warranty with a claim limit of £1000 each.

So for £7500 it was in my opinion a good purchase. Now I can't wait to get it. With the money I saved I am going to put a snorkel and steps on it and discreet tinting to all the reear windows. Anyone got any idea how much thats going to cost me?

Below is my new baby !!

Very nice/tidy motor - hope it serve's you well.  :wink:

Like you said, full LR service history, all the toys - perfect.

If you are going to put a snorkel on it, I presume it will be used off-road (as it should!) - I would opt for Discoparts rock sliders with treesliders instead of steps.  The treeslider add-on act as steps, but also offer protection off-road as well.  Discoparts supply them with a grit adhesive tape as well to put on top.
That's £200 worth, but much better than steps in the long run.  Add about £150 for your snorkel, and that leaves the tinting.

I had my tinting done professionally as every time I tried to do it, I ended up with an aero bar effect on my windows.  From the B-Pillar back, including alpines and sunroofs was about £250 from memory.
If you know someone who can do it locally, get them to do it, you'll save loads.

if it was me i wouldnt bother with the snorkel etc unless your planing on going wading, put the cash towards some 18 inch wheels. they look great on disco's
