    Always had a hankering to have one of these. Couple of crew cabbed versions online at the minute around the €12k mark, 2008 vintage.

    So any pro’s to these big 3.6L beasts?

    Now list off the con’s!!!

    The voice of the presenter would be enough to turn me off!

    OP, you will find many more videos with reviews on youtube.

    The "quirky" vids like Doug are great as they are less technical and more user experience

    No such thing as cheap ownership of a RR either, trust me, I know. Having said that they are a great and comfortable drive. Watch out for usual stuff, Timing belts, air suspension among some of the bigs bill stuff you don't want to be doing.

    I've heard the body has to be removed to access rear timing belt and turbo on the 2.9/3 litre, don't know about the 3.6 litre

    Despite Dougs painful accent, he's actually very entertaining.

    His videos on his Range Rover are eye opening though. I think the jist of it was that over 4 years, the warranty on it paid out something insane like 20k.

    They are not a cheap or reliable car to run.
