Thanks a lot guys, particulaly Josh, some very useful info there. I was thinking of something with a bit of grunt as well as snow capability, so the Disco or sound interesting.

 :y :y :y

Be careful of them, they are cheap for a reason, they rot very easily  :o


Sorry Tunnie, which ones rot?

I've had my 4.6HSE for well over 3 years, I'd thoroughly recommend one!

The only car I would change it for would be a newer shape petrol model.

We have had two Classic shaped Range Rovers and Mrs. Loo-knee regrets the day we sold the last one ::) I have not heard the last of it either ;D

There always seems to be something needing to be done on them, changing all the oils is quiet expensive too.
Parts are suprisingly quiet cheap, example an alternator for a Rangey was £50 new  :y
We went looking for snow in them which was brilliant fun and also an offroading day in the first one  :y :y :y

Pretty sure it is the 4.6 that had problems dropping liners.
Head Gaskets are pretty easy to do to as there is so much room in there, just climb in ;D

A neighbour used to work in the desert somewhere and he claims that Land Rangers etc etc are no match for either Land Rover or Range Rover.

I actually prefer the Classic shape, but Tunnie if you can afford a new Range Rover you must be a Rentboy ;D ;D ;D
