Maybe he tows lots of horse boxes, or lives in a remote and frequently snow bound part of the uk. Or he's just strange. You could buy some lovely cars for 15k.
3/530d sport is the other option as you know. There is just such a sense of occasion driving a range rover, they are beautiful cars, they arnt fast but thats not the point of them. It feels like you are commanding a battle cruiser every time you get behind the wheel 
Might as well have a bit of variety dont you think? Its not like its a main car or perminent car, it will be out the door as soon as i think its value will fall below what i paid for it

And I don't think you should have said that, it was a major tragedy.
Personally I thought it might have exploded, you guys obviously don't like me very much lol, but seriously these things you all hear about are things that happen to me like everyday and I just take it as it comes.
Yes I did think it was a bargain, I was obviously mistaken (again), I don't tow horse boxes or anything such as.
Fox (and the rest) you are always right, maybe its time i did actually start taking advise, and saving money, still very confused as to how all my vectras were heaps of, as i try to keep saying only one was ?
And no one will ever believe me about the 2.0 cdx that was written off, i've never crashed into anything and as i said, the person who brought the car lives up the road from me, but whatever really....I know.
And yes i did loose a 2.0 omega round a roundabout, big deal ?
I'm currently saving for a desposit on a house or a merc C270 CDI saloon or a C230 Kompressor saloon on an 51/02 plate, I guess I already know the answer as to what I should keep going for.

Who in their right mind WOULD ask for it back? What grounds did you have to ask for it back? You bought it froma PRIVATE SELLER. You bought a 15+ year old car VERY CHEAPLY with NO WARRANTY.
It now needs a £50 repair. Shock. It's an old Range Rover, the fact it only needs a 50 quid repair is a miracle.
If you are as hard up as you claim WHY do you keep buying money-pit cars? Is it not completely obvious to you by now that buying cars is not a strong point of yours? You suck at it - find a new hobby, perhaps overclock some computers or take up cross stitch.
Why on earth would a small underbonnet fire have caused an explosion?
Nobody dislikes you as nobody knows you, but you are a constant source of amusement - every time you post on here people give you a load of advice, you completely ignore them, and then end up a huge disaster. You've done it more times than I can ever count now. It's just really, really funny now.
This makes it even more funny.
Nooo! Don't do it! Seriously!!! You are like a crap car magnet. The early C Class's are plagued with issues.
ok, ok I know ............. a new challenge for me then
To take advise, should i send it for an MOT and see WHAT is actually wrong with it, i'm going to HPI check it in a mo.
I wouldnt class myself as that hard up ? whats the average wage for a 20 year old these days ?

I've always fancied one of those houses. What's the 0-60 on one of those?mazza7282 said:
How can you be saving for a car or house? They're not exactly the same are they? Can I just suggest one thing - a survey. Really, they cost money, but I dread to think what you'd end up buying otherwise.

Hang on a second. A few musings..
a) You bought a Range Rover and ON THE WAY HOME it caught fire.
But.. last time you posted a thread here about the Range Rover you told us you'd got it, and you even posted pictures of it at your house. No mention of any fire at all. You even told us it drove.

Here is the original thread. You bought the Range Rover from Birmingham, not 5 minutes down the road. You also bought it well over a year ago.
b) You noticed a fire under the bonnet, and called 999.
So, in the time taken for you to get out, open the bonnet, notice the car on fire, call 999, the fire brigade to arrive... the fire caused just £50 of damage?
