Thats quite some list, why did it have two injector looms?
 
> Thats quite some list
I'm a fussy bugger and tinkering with it is a hobby. Probably would've gotten away with *much* less just to keep it MOT'd and on the road

> why did it have two injector looms?
It didn't - fixed the list
 
Repairs/replacements
  • Ignition Lock
  • Rear propshaft doughnut
  • Front propshaft, complete
  • F/N/S track rod end
  • Cam Cover Gasket a couple of times
  • Rubber bung on the front of the cylinder head
  • Expansion tank cap
  • Alarm bonnet switch
  • Rear suspension airbags
  • All brake discs and pads
  • All windscreen wipers a couple of times
  • Door latch assemblies, driver’s door and R/N/S passenger’s door.
  • Main Battery
  • Driver’s door window regulator
  • All four normal tyres
Non repair additions
  • Nanocom
  • 4x 16 inch rims
  • 4x cold weather/winter tyres
  • Gearsticks/handbrake gaiters
  • Pair of spot/driving lights with extra circuitry and “Sport bar” for mounting
  • Replaced all internal and external lights with LEDs except headlights, indicators and fog lights
  • Underside treatment with Dinitrol
  • Forward facing mirror mounted dashcam
  • DAB adapter
  • Tyre pressure monitor
  • Digital voltmeter
  • D3 heated windscreen washer jets
  • “Heatshot” windscreen washer water heater
As well as all that there’s the usual MoT, annual “half service” and bi-annual full service.
NB. Half service is all filters, engine oil and propshafts greased. Full service is all filters and all oils, engine, gearbox, T-box, Diffs and propshafts greased.
There's also a whole load of tools which I didn't think I'd need!
So, how much that lot has cost, I dread to think but as they say, “If you can’t afford to run one, don’t buy a Land Rover”.

I didnt count my diagnostic tool as thats going to save you money and when you get rid of the car the tool will sell well on ebay.
