Hi all
I have just acquired a 96 4.0se lpg range rover
It had been of the road for 8 months before I got it, took it for an mot and it passed, truly shocked me. Only got 3 advisories, 2 rear tyres will require changing soon and rear brake pads low. Anyways it's booked in for Friday to do it.
After driving it for a few miles I have noticed a few issues:
Driver window doesn't fully go all the way up, tried window reset but to no avail, worn regulator?
Heating is great but it doesnt blow on my feet,lol. Blend motors?
After mot on the way home it wouldn't rev properly (even on petrol) gentle accelerator it was fine but up hill it felt hesitant.,plugs and leads?
I came from a BMW 540 to the range rover and the ride seems very choppy, it's on coil springs. It's as though the springs are to soft. Driving down country lanes at about 40mph was intresting.The dampers seemed fine on bounce test and no visible leaks. Are they all like this?
Think that's it for now guys, any info or help would be appreciated.
