colintandy:

landroverkeith:
make sure the sunroofs dont leak  :evil:  i found out the hard way on a cold wet monday morning

robbie:
I too hadnt much idea when I went to look for one.

I simply tool it for a test drive and checked everything out. There were a few things I found that I wasnt happy with.

One was the way the high/low worked. The car I tested was an auto and it seems you need the car rolling a little, put the main box in neutral and then select low/high. Put it back in gear after of course.

The other thing I found was the electric window didnt work. Check them all

And of course, oil leaks. Landies are full of em, have a good scout round underneath.

It will need a long MOT too, even if it gives you time to sort out the niggles you find along the way ;)

Enjoy it though, they are a cracking motor :D
