Hi and welcome. I'm sure you'll love your car and enjoy the support to be found here.

Cool looking motor btw... welcome to the fold
Same colour as our '91, technically the wifes, but I'm the idiot that spends time under it, so realistically it's mine!
Those endcaps for the front bumper are dirt cheap to buy new. probs some on ebay.
You've got some good modulars rims on there too...dead easy to get replacements of them too...always handy to have some spares

Cheers, collecting it tomorrow so up at 7 to get the train, has a spare the same which is good. It actually now has an older style classic front bumper so has no plastic ends I believe? Slightly older pic. Can I do the same for the rear as that's missing a cap or just remove the other one and trim the ends?

Just want to say I've collected the Rangey, drove back 150 miles on £40 of LPG and love it so much already! Sounds awesome with the strait through stainless and rust free chassis, seals, wings and arches! What a bargain any one know how to fix the fuel gauge though......? Haha

 

[fett]

its not broken, it just used fuel that fast

 

[RangeRoverClassicTom]

I thought that wasn't to bad on fuel!! Haha just taken it down a couple byways near me in the forest, pics to follow

The fuel gauge really is broken though, where should I start? Fuel light is on so must be a sensor??
