10 years old and only 37k how long has it sat in a garage broken
got to worth a look at least

Wether they were going to cane diesel owners.
Think they probably put up the fuel duty. Maybe tax too if not a white van. Didn't pay too much attention. You have to buy it so you're stuffed.
He loves it!
I'd happily do the do - if someone else pays for it - bank rolls the operation - convinces my boss I need a couple of weeks off - and provides garage space with a ramp!!!
Heartbraking to see it sat so forlorn - If I had the money, time and space.....

How much is a gallon of petrol these days , although being as it is a range Rover the fire probably wouldn't startDefinitely sounds like a crowdfunder gig then.
Well the listing has ended so maybe somebody has taken it on ?

This particular issue is as rare as rocking horse poo, in fact the consensus here is that this could be the ONLY 4.4 V8 in the world with a broken crank (and even that has not been properly confirmed AFAIK!!)
This particular vehicle would make an excellent buy for someone who is spanner handy and local'ish, it's got a brand new gearbox and TC amongst many other parts, so if you can get a second hand motor your away, AND it's got a quality LPG system.
If it wasn't so far away from me I'd consider it, but it would have to be well under 2k in my book, as is.

Without this forum, or a plethora of others, there won't come a better time to own one.
Your very own Haynes manual that talks to you with good and sage advice.
If you can't spanner or be willing to try, you won't ever learn, maybe some folks are destined to sign up paying for a miserable Asian 4 wheeled box with a 7 year guarantee, with all the kudos that will bring.

This I believe is why it is not selling - the ad says potential snapped crank - no one is going to take a punt on what is a potential problem - people like specifics so they can judge if they are able/confident/in a position to fix it.
We did advocate dropping the sump to see what's what...but I think the poor chap just wants rid of it - and I feel so very sorry for him.
As we all do, we browse the classifieds and online auction sites to gauge the current market for Range Rovers and land Rovers in general - and I have seen the early to mid age L322 price half in the last 6-8 months....it is quite shocking!
I am looking for a daily car that probably will not see off road. Problem is i rather want it to be reliable, i sometimes do 1k miles trips 120 miles non-stop on motorway (i live in continental Europe - LHD).
I have garage, lots of spanners, even hydraulic ramp etc I can do some work on it myself, just don`t want to spend every weekend there - I already got my project car and definitely don`t won`t to wrench on it at the side of the road.
As I see this there are two options. Buy used one with somewhat documented service history for 4k or one with rebuild transmission and replaced air suspension for 8k. I can also buy face lift model `08~ for about 11k also with rebuild transmission etc but that's top of my budget and I am afraid that it will swallow same amount of money for repairs.
TBH because of this thread I almost bought Pajero Dakar from 2005 last Sunday but when i drove it and heard the noise this 4 cylinder diesel made I knew this wasn`t a car for me for a daily commute.
