I do like my creature comforts, power steering, electic windows, a decent heater and so on.....lol A Disco 2? Yes, that is something to think about. Okay I will look into one of those then, might even sell my car and just keep the one vehicle. Thank you Martyn. :)

Before I joined this Forum I have always liked the P38 Range Rover and thought I would look more seriously into getting one. So I bought the Land Rover Monthly magazine because they had a full review of the diesel version. But the amount of problems etc they said it could or will get kind of put...

You weren't joking, were you :eek: It would be nice if money wasn't an issue. Maybe one day....lol

Ouch!

A really serious engine for me is the 427 which was shoehorned into the Shelby Cobra. It was 7.0L V8. But I don't expect there are many of these around these days and I hate to think how much a fully built engine would be. Just a pipe dream this is in all reality. :) Have gotten a bit...

I bought September's issue of Land Rover Monthly and it has a supplement in which outlines all the pitfalls of the various models and types. To be honest it's enough to put me off alltogether. But every vehicle has it's issues even my car does, nothing is ever completely reliable. In LRM it...

Doing is one thing but costs can be through the roof and then some. Hence it is always better to ask first and I did do a search for threads on alternative engines but this didn't yield much.

That's it in a nutshell, servicing! I have read several horror stories where people are not having their vehicles serviced due to the credit crunch. I can do a lot of stuff myself but when I'm feeling lazy or I'm not in good enough health then I have a really good garage that does things for me...

I have never owned a diesel powered vehicle and have limited knowledge about them. I have driven plenty with diesel engines in from the early Transits to the latest diesels that are out now. It's not until I joined a Forum about L/Rovers did I discover that not everything I heard about them is...

The reason for this, I have been doing quite bit of searching around at vehicles for sale. Plus looking at all the engine derivatives and I don't want to go down the diesel route but there doesn't seem to be many options with the petrol units either. Could I fit a Japanese engine instead? (I'm...

Car Super Market, I was wondering as to what they did with all the cars they buy. :)

No, definitely not. 2.0iES Auto. :)

I have only lived in NA for 5 years originally lived in Paignton. :)

I don't. Live too far out of town for me to walk into. Plus due to my disabilities I can't walk very far anyway. Such is life as they say. Just have my trusty Honda Accord to get me around. :)

There's no answer to that. :)

Really!! :hysterically_laughi

No? And who or what is Vagrent?

You could try this site ( I haven't used them) a 55 Plate 1.9CDTi with 132,000 went for £2,500 so I would ask about that but below the £3K mark. £2,500- 55 plate Vectra 1.9CDTi | Friday-Ad classifieds

TD5 Discovery or a TD6 L322. These I expect are the newer ones? I'm looking at a maximum budget of say £5000 or less, less would be better but then I could be heading into rebulding territory which is something I don't particularly want to do.

I'm completely new to Land Rovers but not to classic vehicles having in the past owned several. My original intention was to purchase a P38 Range Rover because I like the shape and relatively clean lines but after buying September's issue of Land Rover Monthly which had a review of the P38A I am...
