first range rover

hi all new to the forum ! today i brought a 1999 2.5 dse auto can any one tell more info on these as this is first land rover many thanks james

generally very nice cars, main problem ares is the air suspension going wrong , climate control going wrong and one that does not concern you the engines petrol ones mainlyt he 4.6 are prone to cracking at around 100k and need a engine rebuild............

Nice chocie! I got a 98 DSE ......Don't mess with the engine ...Just do the normal things like check for water and brake fluid ...Have fun with your rangie ...Amazing landrover.

My 2.5 DSE is amazing and a real head turner ...Buy some 18"" hurricanes and get some foglights from Welcome to the JE Engineering Website

as far as i know it has nearly new 18"" hurricanes and it also has front fogs!! post a pic on saturday when i pick it up!!

I don't like to sound pessimistic but look at these forums for 2.5 DSE cooling problems ( and before some arse starts a flame war, I'm not implying this is going to happen to you!)

To help keep it running sweetly, keep a very vigilant eye over fluid levels and neglect nothing!! Prevention is far, far, better than cure!

I hope she runs well for you, because when these run well they are a fantastic car to drive

If you have a problem with the gearbox overheating just attach a tube to the inside of the grill on the bumper and aim the exit at the radiator ...Problem solved.
