The following will describe the emotions of owning one:

:lol: :D :) :frown: :( :ohmy: :confused: :unsure: :lol:

There are two happy days of ownership: the day you buy it, the day you sell it.

Welcome Dubaiexile, and I agree with Millhouse, though I haven't owned the said vehicle I haven't heard many good things about it.

DO NOT BUY A LANDROVER

i am a landrover owner, if you are asking this question then you are not right for a landrover

it WILL break down
it WILL cost a fortune to fix stuff
the garages that can help are bloody expensive and utterly random in the quality of their work.

Walk away and look at something japanese

Ahhhh Landrovers, keeping mechanics in business since the start of time!

Don't get me wrong I love Landies and have had several 90's and 110's, however, they should only be considered as a enthusiasts toy or proper expedition vehicle.

If you need / want reliability then look elsewhere.

With regards to an LR3, who knows! If they can't get a ladder chassis with a shell and ancient engine attached to work for any length of time who knows how long a complex computer driven machine will last.

Yep, just confirming all the horror stories I have heard, but I do really like them.
Thanks one and all for your replies

I'm hoping to order a Twisted 110 V8 come the end of the year, had a test drive a few moons back and am totally besotted!

Does that make me barking?

They are achingly cool

Make sure it's done more than 20,000km, and less than 100,000 km and is less than 5 years but more than 2 years old.

No point shelling out loads in repair bills with a half hearted Landie,

Get a RR, enjoy the ride, relish the pain to come.

Consider it like going to a very expensive madam in London to be caned within an inch of your life

Great ride, much pain, empty wallet afterwards

Enjoy
