Better off buying a Bentley Continental and know it is going to rape your bank balance soon after. :D

That's what I thought. A friend bought his wife a 1.9tdi VAG box but she did frequent 4 or 5 mile journeys so it was only doing about 25mpg for that reason. He would borrow it and take it for a long run to see what was wrong and manage 50 mpg!
In the normal diesels with dpf we have owned, we have only ever had one warning about taking for a drive and that was her old a4 cabriolet. But the RR was pretty much every 100 miles of so. I had an obd tool that could monitor soot levels, I was paranoid in the end and was changing diesel laden oil every 3000 miles

Must admit it was immaculate and not a thing wrong.

Looking at Range Rovers now. One of them cars I’ve never had but always wanted.

Nothing wrong with going through a list of cars you always wanted.
I used to work with a guy who’s son worked at the local Land Rover main dealer, he used to send in some scary photos from the workshop. Body off stuff to find electrical faults!
Make sure you buy a good one like the QP :)

Not sure of your budget for a Rangie, or your car use pattern, but if you can, go for the petrol plug-in hybrid. But any 2014 model onwards will be luxurious and rewarding.

Equally the later versions of the L322 with a TDV8 or S/C V8 petrol. Just get a good one, many are not!

Congrats on the sale, that looked a lovely car. You sound like me, always fancied a RR - never had one.
Took the plunge (reliability concerns) on a First Edition Velar last year and its been brilliant. Purists probably don’t think that counts.
3litre supercharged petrol, hasn’t put a foot wrong (just cursed it).
Dunno if it’s in budget but we’re delighted with our RR experience so far.

Just like the QP I always buy the best I can afford. It pays off in the end.
