Yes, the the reliability/maintenance complaining are directly proportional to the "wanting a new car" comments....

Really love the look of the L322 - but as you say some seem to be a money pit.
I've been offered a 3.6 in an almost prefect spec for what seems like 'too good to be true' money but am holding off for now.
Too good to turn down
So I now own a 3.6 TDV8 Vogue SE.
Picked it up Saturday - hasn't broken down YET
all the toys - heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel
Is basically a lovely place to be.
Expect it will be financially ruinous to run, but hopefully enjoyable too.

Should provide ample material for fleet updates
Good work though - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

What colour? It’s pretty important on RRs!

Twitter photo was of it being comprehensively snow-foamed but it looks to be a dark colour, so probably not a silver one.

Believe it's stornoway Grey, black leather interior. Piano black dash. For me it's THE color combo as I didn't want another black car.
Needs a few bits sorting, but it was commensurately priced so hopefully with a bit of dealing well be ahead.

You'll be fine.
With our Disco's we dropped the suspension to access mode every time we got out. Kept it exercised - never a suspension issue in 8yrs.
