Range Rover Sport TDV6 and Mazda MX5 Buying Advice?

[panhard65]

You're not using the same mot station as I am are you ? I changed testing stations at the begining of this month and not 1 car has failed including the L reg Renault Espace that didn't even get an advisory.

In other news my D3 passed its MOT with no work needed today.

So what car is also referred to as a D3 other than a Discovery as that can be the only realistic explanation?

As soon as it breaks.

Thats fine. Or now.

Its broke.

My offer of £2250 was declined, apparently a local pharmaceutical retailer had offered the owner £2750 and We Buy Any Car offered £3295 subject to inspection.

Before it was due be viewed by wbac the rear suspension went partially down so the owner took it to the garage that's been doing the maintenance on it. They diagnosed a faulty valve and ordered the parts.
However fitting the new parts made no difference and they couldn't find any thing else that is causing the problem.

So my original offer has been accepted or the owner has asked me for a revised offer subject to me having a look.

Its now parked on my front garden awaiting my tame mechanic to examine it this weekend.
During the drive over to my house, the suspension problem seems to have transferred from the rear to the front.

There is only one warning light on, don't know if that's related, any one an idea of what's causing the problem?.

Overall it looks in very nice condition, slight wear on the drivers seat and a few minor scuffs on the alloys, 140700 mile

Very nice.

Sorry no idea what the problem is but it'll look very impressive in your front garden.

[Old Wrinkly]

Indeed, problem is the garden needs 5 grand spending on it to match.
