Well I recon the Range Rover will be worse off road being automatic and softer suspension (but I am not planning to become a farmer any time soon) and more expensive on services and parts. The question is Are they LESS reliable? And if so how baddly? I guess as suggested there is more to...

I have a thread in the Range Rover forum asking about P38s but the more I think about it I am getting worried. It seems than not only are they more expensive to fix (I accepted that) but now I am reading than many people are advising me to steer clear of P38s. Same people advised me to go for...

ANyone got any thoughts on the comment above regarding injectors? Here is the link for the particular Range Rover I was looking at

I got a reply from the guy selling the Silver DSE. I liked the look of it to be honest and its not far but it does have 107k miles on it. Now if this was a merc, bmw or audi Diesel I'd not bat an eyelid...What are the BMW Engines in the Range good for? Bolded the big bit...is this good or bad? I...

I emailed Magnum, the first one was sold, they have a nice looking green one. I asked What big jobs have been performed on the car over the last 3 or 4 years ? Do all of the electrics work as they are supposed to? Has the coolant levels been checked thoroughly for evidence of cracks in the...

Holland Holland was sold by the way :)

Right I have compiled a list of VOGUES that I recon I could get away with offering 6000 or under for. They all have nice interiors, low milage and are 4.6 V8s but no LPG. At 6000 grand it leaves me with some cash for any 'out of the blue' repairs, and if I chose I can have the LPG conversion at...

Was looking at the pics on the Holland Holland. Looks to me there is bubble rust near the badge. Annyone else see it...or does it look like water? Still think 8 grand is a bit too much unless it has some spectacular service history. Two owners and ok millage. Looking at the pics, the boot...

Hi mate...thank actually I see your point, I suposed I was trying to justify the V8. I did a quick calculation...maths isnt great but I recon say 4000 miles per year would cost me £600 in gas where a straight petrol would cost 1000-1100 so it's half the cost. In the short term it wouldn't...

Hmm now I'm ggoing to need 10 grand for a paid of shotguns ;)

Ok and what are we looking at for the LPG coversion? 1500 quid? Will aim to get it for 7 grand....might not even be still available when i get home....damn wish the time would go quicker. Could get the wife to phone him up so he can email me...as you say it's not the best for making a deal.

Because 8 grand would leave me with out the gas conversion :)

Yes I spotted that little rascal also :D What do you think I could honestly get away with offering?

Cheers mate! Will do, in the meen time I'm stuck in Libya so got another week pretending to work so might as well read up of the forums :D

I like your style ha ha. Should I go for AA/RAC check on it? I'm a bit puzzled why this one is 4.5 grand but most others are them going for 5000-7000? Obviously I'd need to have a look in person. I have emailed them and asked about condition of engine, whether there is any evidence of gas...

By the way what was your opinion on the Vogue 50? Sorry to be a pain in the back side ;)

Sorry I meant this one

might be a daft question but where do you put your spare wheel then? I'm getting a loan so might go for a bit more. What is the optimum range where you get the best value? I imagine 6000-7000?

Right been thinking hard all day and I might go for LPG conversion, but I am nervious about getting one so may end up going for a much higher spec to be sure. The Vogue 50 I posted above is up for 8 grand and I can try to get them down to 7. Still over my budget though. It looks in very good...

Wow awsome! Well I'm not 100% I'd want to do it myself although I used to work on my minis and beetle when I was younger. If I find a decent V8 how much would it cost to have converted?
