I was talking to my indie re buying a supercharged L322 and he said the motors are pretty good and don't give many problems. The main issue he mentioned is with the electric coolant pump that cools the SC. However, he strongly recommended not buying one because the fuel consumption is enormous, country or city according to him, much more than the non supercharged V8, which is not what I was expecting to hear. He has clients that leave the SC RRS sitting in the shed and drive something else because the fuel costs too much, which seems pretty stupid to me but indicates that they use a lot of fuel.
He strongly recommended getting a TDV8 RRS from the D3 era for reliability and economy. I ended up not getting anything and stuck with the D4.
