I had a Range Rover "Classic" in the 90s and really liked the car and the driving experience it offered, plus the fact my wife has horses so the drive down to the farm was easy. Unfortunately, it was the high petrol consumption of the V8 engine that eventually made us sell the car and move onto a Volvo V70. However, after having some problems with our Volvo, we are looking at getting another Range Rover, but this time one with a diesel rather than petrol engine.
There is a local garage selling a 1998 R Reg 2.5 litre diesel Rang Rover for £3000, it looks in good condition but has 166,000 miles on the clock and still has the air suspension. Can anyone advise on how good the BMW 2.5 litre engine is that is in this Range Rover. What is the engine life expectancy after having done this amount of mileage. Also, with having the air suspension still fitted, is there a high chance of failure now?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
