Morning Shiters

After selling the Range Rover at the start of the week it's high time I collect it's replacement. Those oil leaks on the drive aren't going to grow by themselves.

It's really too new to be considered shite but you're getting a thread anyway.

Bork potential is high, mileage is high, power is pretty high too. 

I need to be home by half 10, handily it's only 20 miles away. I do need to cycle there though due to my better half not being willing to get out of bed to give me a lift 🫤

Any clues re what it is?

The engine has featured in both Dakar Rally and a Top Gear racing feature.

It's a 530d MSport auto with a remap to 272 bhp so is nippy*

On 160k but has masses of history and drives very well. 

It's a 2008 so I think a facelift/LCI, hopefully those in the know can confirm? Will run the VIN to check the exact spec. 

Off to the pub now!

So you've gone from a BMW powered Range Rover to a Range Rover powered BMW*? 😀

*I know this is factually inaccurate but I can't help being a prick.

TBH probably a better choice than an E90 as they're much more spendy plus proper sized boot on these.

why does the reg say series 2 land rover on a bwm?

Fuck knows, I didn't want the plate but neither did the PO so it came with the car. It's been on the car most of its life.

I might try and flog it, dunno if it's worth the hassle though?

I've got soul but I'm not a...
