Lots of options:

  • Distronic - radar cruise
  • Keyless entry and keyless go
  • Orthopaedic and memory front seats
  • Heated and cooled seats
  • 20" wheels
  • Power third row seats
  • Wood-rim steering wheel
  • Power tailgate
  • Parktronic - park sensors front and rear
I've only had it 6 months but done plenty of work on it:

* Aircon regas
* Automatic gearbox service
* Engine service, oil & filters
* Air and pollen filters
* New oil in transfer case and differentials

Other good news:


* This car head unusual head gasket failure earlier in its life and I have an invoice for a complete top end engine rebuild for thousands of pounds. No issues with temperature or coolant use in my ownership.
* 4 good Michelin cross-climate matching tyres with loads of tread left
* All off-road bits work fine. Goes into low range perfectly, hill descent works as it should.
* Interior condition generally very good for the age and miles
* Air suspension works as it should, goes up and down
* Harmon/Kardon audio with iPod connection w/bluetooth adapter - so it has BT music streaming!
* Radar cruise works great
* Adaptive Xenons
* No warning lights
* No rust
* Two keys
* Removable towbar and rated to tow up to 3.5t

Less good news:

* 175k miles but this just means it has been in regular use all its life
* Small bit of damage on the tailgate (see pic)
* Keyless doesn't work on the passenger door (fine on all others)
* Reversing camera module is dead - doesn't work
* I'm not convinced the seat cooling does anything
* Bit of front suspension clonk when it is warmed up, I have replaced some bits but not solved this yet
* Drops a bit on OSR corner if left standing for a few days

I am going to get it in for an MOT this week, so assume for full asking it will have a new MOT. The car is in North Lancs, nr Junction 33 M6.
