Lol thanks for the reply

It's a project I'm undertaking so it becomes my daily driver when I'm in Southern Africa where I have some interests

Just curious why you say it's a piece of crap sir😁🤭

Now I'm worried lol
He just jealous because he owns a series 3 on coils 🤭🤪 sorry a classic range ruster...ooer Rover!!!....
 
Modifications should be the last thing you should be thinking of..

Cobar blue by the looks of it, with some already crap "ahem" choice upgrades.... :vb-upsidedown:

I'd get to grips with the mechanicals before anything else.
Hi
Mechanicals I will source gearbox and other odds and ends here in the UK second hand. The labour is not a problem as mechanics at company we work with will be happy to help even on company time as long you do them favours here and there. (hey it's Africa 🤭🤣)

I'll paint it either shiny metallic black or a red I saw online like this one

Many of Land Rover's vehicle models are sub-standard or over complicated to a fault. After driving them for years, I wouldn't ever trust one again.
 
I do agree they fine as they yes but I like the interior of the L320 and L322 I must say

Cheaper to just get an L322. They're cheap enough in the UK. Even with shipping it would leave you with a better car at a lower price.
 
Define 'better'.

Valid point. More costly to run but the ride quality and in-car luxuries are better. With the Jag V8 you're much more reliable than the Rover V8 which blows head gaskets for fun. The diesel is more sprightly than the very pedestrian P38A diesel although early gearboxes are unreliable. Upgrade to the Sonnax valve box though and they seem to be OK.

You forget the unreliable L322 electronic, all the water leaks into the electronics would not cope well with African rain storms . Personally I find the seats typically German hard and uncomfortable.
