What to look for in a Range Rover

Hi All,

I am looking at buying my first Range Rover.
Would be looking for something around the £8,000 - £9,000 mark with the possibility of having it converted to run on LPG.

As I know nothing about the Range Rover (apart from the need to own one) - just wondered if you could give me a few pointers on what to look out for when buying.
What to avoid, whats a must have.

Thanks,

Paul

A good service history and receipts to back up any work said to have been completed is a must.. Read through the forum and look for potential problems, of which RR has a few. Check the normal things, electrics and most of all Heating.. I thought mine was ok until a day later.. Just waiting for new blend motors to be fitted -- £300!.. Try and find someone local to you who may come with you (if you buy them a beer) to help out ((Why didnt I think of that.. DOH)

The way I see it now.. If it cost £100 to fix a normal Saloon, then it will cost £400 on a RR

For the money your spending it shouldnt be a problem finding 1 thats in a1 condition and converted to lpg, check for leaking air suspension and go through all of the gears hi and lo try and find a Range Rover that has lots of receipts, the more thingsthat have been repaired should be a good sign as this will mean less for you to repair also check for leaking torque converter and gearbox.

Thanks for the relpies.

Now to keep me eyes open for one
