Oh Alabama
The devil fools with the best laid plans

Ahh, Sweet Home Alabama, one of the best songs for getting people on the dance floor (I'm a DJ among other things). I imagine you'll get some varied weather and be in need of a reliable 4x4..... So, in that case, why'd you choose a Range Rover?

Well I saw one when I was younger and have always wanted one so I bought it when I turned 16 and I'm 17 now learning the craft of working on these beasts lol

If you're at a restaurant, I think from age 16 accompanied by parents as long as they purchase it. For beer & spirits it's 18.

Oh wow definitely going to be swimming over

Driver's side is controlled by the ECU but the passenger side is hard wired. Now I'm assuming yours is lhd so you might be able to buy the hard wiring from a rhd passenger seat and hook it up to yours removing the ECU. This has been done over here the other way around. That ECU looks grim but could probably be fixed. I'd look for an electronics specialist regardless of whether they do cars or not. Old mercs and Bentleys also used the same ecus so if you have a local specialist in either they may be able to help. Rangerovers.net has loads of Us classic owners on it too if nothing works!

Sorry for such a while since ive posted been really busy I have inbetween either shipping it to marty when he becomes available or I have found someone in the U.S that said he may could repair it but im still waiting for a price from both of them. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Surplus
If there's anything you need brought over from this side of the pond give me a shout. I'm in the USA two or three times a year and have friends in Georgia.
We fish in Montana ( May July & October this year)
I take it that you have RAVE ?
