Thinking of getting a rangie

(1/4) > >>

I'm getting a bit chessed off with my cherry. As much as I love it, parts are expensive and I find the driving possition a little cramped and whenever I have passengers in the back they always moan there is no leg room.  also i've given it a lift and a few other minor mods which make it less user friendly, the trouble is I can't really afford all the travelling for the events ect.

So i'd like a standard range rover. ideally a swap would be the order of the day, skintness abounds!

I reckon my cherry is worth between £500-700 notes. What do you guys reckon i'd get for that kind of money. an auto would be nice, a gas conversion a must, age/milage not too much of an issue as long as it's tidy. Diesel is an absolute no no!

any comments please, or if anyone would like some photos to consider a swap, i'd be more than happy to post some.

I can understand you sceptisism. I made the biggest mistake when I bought it.
 I had the chance of my old mans series 1 disco that he bought brand new, but no instead I thought I'd have a jeep just to be different, Oh how I've paid and paid and paid #-o

You'll not get much RRC for that money and certainly not with a good LPG system, given that a s*** system will be £350 and a good one £1250 plus fitting.  There are also a lot of pitfalls in buying cheap Rangies :( , you want to spend a bit more and buy one that stands a chance of passing another MOT.

And don't worry, I doubt you will find a decent TDi for your budget and the VM turbo diesel is not very polular, which is a shame as when it works it's a good engine and quieter than the 200TDi.  Just a bit slow.

You'll probably be looking at a mid-80's 3.5 then.

I have been keeping an eye on this one.

what'd ya think?

I like the idea of no electronics! i've already had to replace to ECU on the jeep, took 3 failed mots and ages to track it down.
