Seem to be the new owner of a 1988 Range Rover..........with a £550 buy it now, it was too good to not to!!
Had problems starting it for a while but got going eventually. Stopped off for some fuel, then it cut out on tha way out of the petrol station and starter wouldn't kick in. Nice Mr AA man got it going and after a 'warm' journey home have bled the cooling system, stuck a few pints of oil in, unclogged the low water 'thingy', and am  :D

.............. I know, potential head gasket problem, but I still think it was a bargain for a driveable Rangie with tax, MOT and LPG.

I love Disco's, and Series, but this is pure luxury!!! ..........................................Now for the mods!!!!!!  \:D/

If its an '88 it will be a 3.5 which is a little less prone to major engine damage than the more fragile 3.9  :D  

Give it a bloody good service,oil, plugs etc,  and flush the cooling system, a good concentrate of quality antifreeze helps. Check the front of the rad for debris, especially if ever been used off road, and condition of cooling fins, also check the viscous fan.

£550 for gas converted RR with T&T sounds a bargain, you will have to post pics  :wink:

Oh, you could post the e-bay link, then we can all have a look  :D

Didnt they convert the 3.5 to efi around then, which is often the worse efi engine out there, the 3.9 is lovely!

Guardian.:
IVE GOT AN 88 3.5 EFI, THINK THAT WAS THE CHANGE OVER YEAR WASNT IT?
FOR CARBS / EFI THAT IS.
