Brilliant advice as usual, I'll do what you've said Henry_b sounds like things I can do, Redex, oil and filter ordered in the hope the compression test is 'successful' (ever the optimist, typical Land Rover owner?!) . Be nice to take it for a run Mark but it's off the road (in a farm yard) with...

Thanks Mark, it had been standing for nearly a year when i bought it. Is there any alternative to a strip down please?

Back again, managed to get the classic 1994 3.9 V8 running but boy does it smoke, statement, not question. It's blue smoke so oil related I assume (I've been wrong before LOL) and, as I can't afford to replace the engine, or have the wherewithal to strip this one, does any-one have ideas I could...

Many thanks lads, see what you mean about giving the battery a fighting chance, I had charged it at home but can't vouch for its life expectancy, lesson learnt (the mere fact I'll forget in a few months is irrelevant LOL). Slight problem with a trickle charge, it's on the edge of a field, near a...

Sorry, I know this must have been covered but, I have tried to find a thread/post and failed miserably. I bought the car last week (it is a 'problem' motor, 1994 3.9 vogue) and it's been stood for a week after putting a fully charged battery on it. I have been 'playing' every day (never started)...

Hi, the previous owner had fitted a new cooler (grill was still off, see pici) and so there it was all black and shiny, what he didn't mention was that he'd not put any ATF after he'd done it (he hadn't driven it, luckily!), maybe it was an oversight? Hmmmmmm……………………… this is going to be an...

Te He! Got it!! Must have been the mutts nuts when new, heated memory seats, heated front screen, speakers on the A pillars, air con, cruise control and even the 'Range Rover' badges back and front are metal/plastic not transfers as is the 'Vogue' on the back (not marked SE!?) my original (RKY...

Thanks again, I intend having a play when I get my filthy little mitts on it, is this where having fun sounds more like WTF?

Love the banter, much appreciated, keep it coming please. I don't pick the car up until Saturday but I already know the LPG system is old (make to be found out) and it's running like a pig on petrol, (sorry 'pez') if I kept the LPG it would need sorting and tank(s) 'hidden' as I've already...

Gravity is a myth, the earth sucks.

Much appreciated for all the 'food for thought(s)' I think I need to get it 'home' (a field on my mates farm for now) get it running and have a re-think, as someone once said 'I'll be back'

Hi, back in to the Range Rover scene (some people never learn!) and have now purchased a 1994 vogue which has LPG fitted, I want to take it back to normal (whatever normal is on a 3.9 V8) and wondered if anyone wanted the system as I want the boot space. I know nothing about it and won't even...
