my first rangie??

<< < (3/3)

Rainbird:
I believe that the later models being less rust proof is the result of Landrover changing their steel suppliers in the early nineties in order to reduce costs.  The new suppliers used a lower quality steel to get the price down which has a (not surprising) effect on the biodegradation of the vehicle

Range Rover Blues:
That makes sense.  There is also less Ali and more steel, like the boot floor for example.  There are not enough decent drain holes either.

Rainbird:
The lack of drain holes is built into the design.  If there are not enough, then simple chemical reactions create more until the water can drain out.  It saves the designers having to calculate the required drainage!

Range Rover Red:
So it looks like mine could well be the next one in the garage with no sills and no boot floor  :(
