Thanks again! :) Yes there was a just a 'spot' of rust in the footwells ;-) , and pretty much the only place on the car but it was quite bad. Thats very interesting about the watersheets, I'll keep that in mind and check (if a future seller allows) behind the cards, but as you suggest, trial...

Hi All I wanted to thank you all for taking the time with the guidance and help you have put on here, as a RRC newbie you cant imagine how reassuring and valuable you're comments have been. One of the reasons I love Land Rovers is the community around them and we all help each other through the...

On warm tick over there is a light tapping noise. Not a slapping or loud noise but a noticeable ticking. Could it be a cylinder liner?

hi chaps looking over the car now. Photo down inside the oil filler. Looks a light brown / goldenish with some mid brown areas. Hopefully photos shows it

Good to know - the V8 Wizard is an amazing source of info, also slightly terrifying! ;-)

Thanks Ratae, thats amazing info, so much appreciated!! Great website link too

Kev, Norseman - some invaluable advice there thank you. Those are perfect bit of info that are crucial to know whether there is a big bill looming or a world of pain and misery. I dont expect it to be 'like new' but I dont want engine rebuilds and strip downs of expensive parts anytime soon :)...

Thank you for looking, thats very kind :) the Haynes manual arrives today so that should cover most of my key investigations needed for now :)

Thanks Ratae - that is a great website, I've looked through most of what I can find, interesting stuff, got to love/appreciate people who take the time to create these specialist websites :) Thanks Kev - good to know, its due a full service at point of sale, if not brake fluid included I was...

Kev, thank you so much for that list, I feel you're trying to tell me something... ;-) honestly thats brilliant, pretty sure I can check most of that myself which is a bonus, good to know what the engine/revs should be like, sounds simple but when you're new to an engine you dont know what to...

Thanks Kev, as the one I am looking at is a Sept 91 it might be a MY '90, but in 31 years who knows how much of it is original :) I will look out for those things and in the manuals what differences etc. Im hoping it isnt a cat model, given it was an expensive optional extra I cant think why...

Hi All Im off to see a 1991 RR Classic at the weekend, I've watched multiple youtube videos and websites about how to check for rust but not much out there on key / basic checks before buying from a mechanical point of view. I've got a Disco 2 at the moment so know a bit about the things to look...

Thank you both :) Good point on the RAVE, I had a download of that for my old L322 when I had it, its probably a level more advanced than my mechanical skills but very helpful. Thanks for the download link, I've followed that :) Ive the paper manual on order so I can go old school and flick...

Hi All I've a Haynes Disco 2 Service/Repair manual which came with a digital copy on their website, the Range Rover Classic 1970-1992 Haynes manual doesn't seem to have a digital version (specific interest is 1991 3.9 V8). Have I missed something, or does anyone know of a PDF/Digital copy...

You're absolutely right, keeping oil in and water out on a D2 seems to be an impossible task ;-)

Thanks all - I've managed to lift enough of the carpets to get access to the wet parts in front and back without removing seats, fan heaters and door open blowing for 3 days now and end is in sight :-) Now to look at ways to improve the door seals!

Thanks Matthius, thats great advice!! I do the same for my mtb shoes and it works a treat :) So simple, cheers!

Hi there, yes, windows are all open a crack (have those wind 'deflectors' around the top edge so can have windows open without risk of rain getting in :-) ) Thanks for mentioning, could just move the issue elsewhere otherwise

Hi All Got the D2 stuck in water yesterday, luckily not deep, but about 6" above the bottom of the doors. As a result, the 'underlay' of the carpets, the 1" thick foam/sound deadening is sodden. 2 questions as sure Im not the first ;-) Lifted as much of the carpet as I can without going full...

Hi All Recently changed tyres from 255/55/18 to 255/60/18 on my D2 and the old rear spare wheel cover no longer fits. As the alloy is a bit scruffy I want to cover it up again, but cant find a larger cover to fit the new tyres. Any ideas of custom covers or places people have bought previously...
