im just waiting for my local dismantlers to get a tesla in
Guy on youtube started a L322 conversion then stopped, I don't recall the exact reason why but I think it probably centred around range, or lack thereof.

A more up to date view of the potential could possibly be had by visiting another YT channel about a Humvee conversion.

This forum is a lot more than just receiving and sharing advice mate, there is a lot of pi$$ taking and humour, you'll find it helps with RR ownership when you've been on for a while,we can usually suss out the trolls, they don't usually stay around to post thousands of times and have little constructive advice to impart or they pop in and out over the years when they're bored. Glad you got your RRS sorted and you're happy with it, hope you stick around.;):D

Reading all the posts it looks to me like this thread is mainly answering the OP's questions (who hasn't really contributed much to his thread).
Non complicated RR from 2003 to 2009. IMO not available.
Manual gearbox in an L322.
Engine alternatives.

I think it was post #21 where the OP admits they are complicated and unreliable :confused::D
 
Having read through all the replies I can appreciate that the Range Rover and previous 88 and 110 Land Rovers I have owned since the late 1970’s have now reached a point where they are in some sort of worship zone way beyond the purpose for which they were invented. I understand there is a group who enjoy their time with spanners and spares fixing vehicles previously used for school runs but I just want a cheap reliable 4x4 with a bit of comfort that can cope with Norfolk in the winter.Discovery’s seem to have now taken their place in rural England along with the Volvo XC 90. I have just bought a 58 plate model for under £5k as a second car with all the luxury of my previous RR models without the hassles of frequent breakdowns. Volvo are designed for harsh winter weather which is what I need a four wheel drive for. Many thanks for the replies.

Skoda Yeti are supposed to be pretty good.

Cars get old and need more maintenance..
I drive a 32yr old Jag and have the 20yr old P38 as the load puller, both with maintenance are very reliable..
Eventually you have to face the fact that after years of use and lets face it abuse a car will need bits replacing.. ;)

It's just that so called "specialists" charge an arm and the proverbial to repair even the most mundane of issues, that is why most on here advice you get stuck in yourself to same some coin here and there ;)
