Best colour, very nice car. I would get rid of that exhaust at one point.

Looks really good. Am guessing the rear sub frame was sorted hence the new MOT. Do some searches on here but plenty to check and get done to prevent future issues. They are amazing cars so I think you will be really happy. I am driving a brand new Rexton, nice to have all the mod cons but it has zero personality.James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.

make sure the belts have been done especially at that mileage before handing over any cash

Would the oil pump need checked/changed on a 58 plate?

Cheers guys yeah the exhaust is marmite and is going to be replaced. The belts have been done which is peace of mind.
I will look into the oil pump once I've picked it up I'm taking it to my local land rover specialist just to give it a once over to make sure everythings ok.

I would ensure the pump is changed before paying over cash - it’s a hand grenade with the pin out otherwise!
Unless you have got a mega cheap deal on the car it’s a massive risk, especially if the belts have been done as that seems to often add extra tension to failing componentsMust stop buying shiny toys....

Pumps tend to fail more often after a belt change so get it done before you collect

Just a small update collected the car all ok. The pump wasn't done when the belt was changed however I have since had it done and a new belt and tensioners for my own piece of mind least I know its been done now. But other than that loving it so far.
On a side note what website do people use for uploading photos

Worth getting the EGRs blanked and adding the patch to the software as well.
