I didnt ‘need’ a new car but when Chris (Of Chris J Parts) found MC05 XDM I had to buy it!
The car is a 2005 Vogue L322 with the M57, Td6 engine, an early JLR car and it has every fault you could possibly expect to find on a 19 year old Range Rover.
The car has covered 190,000 miles in its 19 years and those are spread evenly over the years, it has a resonable MOT history and is cosmetically OK. It has a service history that ends at around 100,000 miles but did have a new turbo at 90,000 miles.
Why did I buy it? Because its Tonga Green. Simple as that, I had always wanted a green one 🙂
Having bought it i do need a plan to justify it so this car is now the official ‘project’ for Steve’s Steel over the next couple of months and will be documented here and on YouTube.
