Hi all,
Just thought I would let you know about my latest RRC. Some of you will remember that I posted my last Rangey (as stolen in january of this year. Unfortunately ,it was never recovered ,and I finally got an insurance settlement for the amount that I paid for it (£1500) after they originally offered me £600 !! I think that after sending them the full 19 year service history ,and copies of a range rover register magazine article , they came around to the fact that these cars do appreciate in value in some cases !I will admit that the loss adjusters are on the ball though as they noticed that the mileage readings on my m.o.t. certificates suddenly went down from 248000 to about 150000 ! I explained to them that I had replaced the KPH speedo for a MPH one . Luckily I had photographed the change-over !
I am now 7 months into the ownership of a 1992 SE Vogue , in Ardennes green , which apart from not being a jap export model, is identical to my last one !Its lpg converted,with twin tanks in place of the original fuel tank , with an auxiliary petrol tank under the rear offside wing. I have done a bit of welding to the foot wells ,and passenger side rear outer sill.I have replaced the distributor , which improved performance considerably !It has got a full service history which I have added up to over £36000 in bills
I have fitted a tow bar to it for the first time in its 20 year history , and am towing our caravan tomorrow for the first time , to Barmouth, via Dinas Mawddwy. Wish me luck !
