Definitely they are really good cars. Drive nice on road, good off road, tow great, good space inside. The main problem now days Is trying to get a good one. Obviously there getting old now and most have over 150k so obviously there going to be fairly worn out.

Check for water leaks under the rear seat (lift and feel the carpet) and front foot wells (just press carpet and see if it feels damp). Landrover used lots of plastic trim fasteners that go through the body shell. With age some of these plastic fasteners break and leave holes in the under side of the vehicle body shell that allow water in when exposed to road water.

If you’re changing a tyre on one side of these you’ll need to do both on that axel to prevent damage - ideally you should have the same make of tyre on each axle and tyre changes should be carried out as an axle pair as a minimum. If the front need changing I would be inclined to change all 4 four to match.

Prices have dropped a good bit compared to a year ago. Plus that's a pre-facelift model which is less desirable.

Watch out for "steering column locked" message. It disables the vehicle and can be very expensive to fix. It's a common fault on these.

@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes 7 ай бұрын

Many thanks 😉

@ianbeale2527 7 ай бұрын

It's something to be aware of, but I wouldn't call it common. Yes, sometimes they do fail, but it's rather the exception than the rule. Generally they're pretty robust. As for being expensive, you can get a steering lock emulator for under £20,rather than getting ripped off at the dealers.

The rear diff was serviced as part of the last big service, so hopefully it's fine, but thanks for the heads-up Gary 😁

If you have to change the rear diff it costs over £5,000 I couldn’t believe it!

There are hundreds of these out on the internet, overpriced with starship enterprise milage. As you say you can get the GS for a lot less.. Nice vehicle tho..

Not top of the range, tyres must be all the same, and tread the same, no mixing of tyres, belts are best done at 7yrs not the 10yrs Landrover says, insurance is problem with these cars now, due to insurance companies have put them all in one pool, due to Range rovers being stolen easy.

@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes 5 ай бұрын

I think there is One model higher than this, but I've never seen any out there, agree regarding tyres being matched on all corners, insurance for me was not that bad, but I'm 57 and live in Cornwall. Thanks for the comments Steve 😁

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes Unfortunately there's two price's on all car's. Private sales and dealer sales. A dealer would offer know more than £6-7k max but re-sell it for £10-12k and that's a rip off. A dealer near me has gone outta buissness. Car's he took as in for re-sale he added £2-4k more than he got them for. Folk's who traded with him called him out over this and he hasn't opened his gates in 4 month's. The car's are still sitting.. People are watching their pennies now and looking the very best for the very least money they can spend. So personally in truth I wouldn't give any more than £7k MAX no matter the cars condition/service history. It's still an old car that'll need work. ie, bushes/spring's/ball joint's etc. All adds up..
