Thanks, I'll start breaking it this weekend!

Thank you very much for your detailed response. This really helps me decide what to do with it. I'll put a battery on it to see what lights up, although need to get the bonnet open first as the release mechanism has seized!

Hi all, First time in the Freelander section, normally over in the Range Rover section as have a classic. Anyway, a friend asked me to remove a Freelander from his garage where it had been stood for 11 years. Took some moving as brakes were seized solid! So, it's a 1999 3 door 1.8, approx 88k, 1...

I have an '84 and interior metal is black. Also have a '92 and interior colour is same as exterior. I think they started painting interior same as exterior around 1990.

Thank you for your replies. Should have said why I'm considering the change. By the way I've sold the stage 1 grill. The V8 engine is out of my RRC. My Classic is an ex factory car, reg ends ''UDU'. Been told it's worth more if it has the original engine, although no intention of selling it at...

Found a picture of it when my friend had it. I've fitted a standard black grill and light surrounds.

Good morning all, I've been a member of the RR forum for many years. Bought a '84 B reg 90 about 18 months ago from a friend but hardly used it. It's in the garage so no pictures to show at the moment. Was originally a hard top in green, 2.5 petrol. It's had many changes over the years. Now a...

Thanks everyone, I'll leave this one and look elsewhere!

Thanks for the replies.... sounds like one to leave alone!!

Hi all, I'm quite interested in this P38 4.0 lpg I've seen on Autotrader. In the description it says slight tappet noise when warm. I know noone can say for sure what the problem could be but do you think it is one to leave when alone? Thanks...

Some of my friends have TD5 discoveries, some have been fine and others terrible! Seems that the less spec the better, especially when it comes to not having sunroofs! To me, why have a Discovery when you can have a Range Rover? My dad has a P38, '98 4.0 se. He's had it 13 years and it's only...

How you getting on with your P38, looking for a 'similar' project myself...Keeping an eye out for a 2.5.

Great, there's one on eBay at the moment, complete manifold and su carbs which looks like it would be perfect.

Thank you for your advise. I need to check the vin then from the one I broke. Still have the v5, somewhere! The reg was F101 JNX and was a 1988 3.5 Efi. Sounds like if it's a h/c I'd be better keeping it and just changing Efi to carbs. Can obviously get the carbs a lot cheaper than I can get a...

Thank you :)

Good morning, I am restoring a '84 Classic 4 door. Originally it would have had a 3.5 carb engine, but I bought it with a Perkins (now removed and sold). I want to try keep the car as original as possible so want to put back in a 3.5 carb engine. I have a '88 3.5 Efi engine from a classic I...

The 'Discovery Centre' in Pool in Wharfedale have been operating for years. Work on anything Land Rover. Used them for 4 wheel alignment on my Classic and no complaints. Then there's Four Plus, opposite main Land Rover Dealer. Good friend of mine is a mechanic there and they are very good, but...

Not keen on lpg. Prefer the car to be standard....which includes one that hasn't been changed to coil springs! So no real advantage or disadvantage to either pre or post '99. Suppose it's best to buy on condition.

Not fussed about toys or speed. Prefer diesel for the economy....

Six of one half a dozen of the others then!! :)
