Hi All,
Just thought I'd introduce myself... I've been kicking around in the Series section for a while as have an old 1975 Series 3, but went up to check some emails the other day, had a flick on Fleabay and before you know I was trying to explain to the wife why I had just purchased a 1992 Range Rover Vogue SE...
Anyway, I don't know anything about these at all and would appreciate any help that you can offer?
Firstly I have taken a real punt on this one with a view to taking it off road trialling and if it dies after a month then it was cheap enough not to get too concerned - it is a 3.9 V8 with an auto box.
First question is - will this have coil springs and shocks or air bags?
Next - As I have never driven an automatic before, let alone off road, what will I need to put the gearbox in to drive off road (I assume that there is a high/low range selector) and then do I choose "Drive" and let it run through the gears, or do I lock it down into "1" or "2"?
when driving downhill off road on steep slopes do I just lock it into "1"?
Finally - is there anything that I need to pay particular attention to, and is there anywhere where I can down load a parts manual ( I have found a downloadable workshop manual, but cannot for the life of me find a parts catalogue?)
Happy for the usual **** taking, but constructive answers also welcome!!!
Cheers
