Thanks for all the info guys.. brill advice.
Ive found what looks like a cracker.. Its a jan 2001 X plate, 2.5 DHSE auto.. Its got 101k on it, full LR history, every item works down to the heated seats and all the door solonoids!! (unlike the freelander!) ,, no rut or lauer peel anywhere, no smell of damp, carpets dry,
Ill be using all the advice ive had off you guys when i go to test drive it on the weekend.. If anyone has anything else to advise me about, feel free to leave a post!
I havent searched the forum yet (dont shoot me!) but will do before the weekend.. But if any of you guys could let me know if these beasts are ok to service yourself, that would be great.
Is the BMW 2.5 engine in it chain driven? Any particular weak spots like the TD4 freelander and TD5 Discos have?
And whats this hot 7 cold start problem i see them having uite a bit of?
