Buying Tips for the Land Rover Range Rover Mk4 (L405)

  • The 4.4 SDV8 is the more robust diesel choice; the 3.0 TDV6/SDV6 has a higher crankshaft failure risk.
  • Check air suspension rises and falls smoothly; bags typically last 7-10 years before perishing.
  • Verify security upgrades; L405s are high theft targets in the UK - look for Ghost immobilisers or S5 trackers.
  • Check front suspension lower arms and tie-bars for knocking - a common UK road-related wear item.
