Buyers guide

Hi everyone, I am going to have a look at a 92 Range Rover today, it's a 3.9i V8 auto. I remember coming on here a while ago and reading about them and i'm sure there was a buyers guide somewhere but I can't seem to find it now. I remember reading about looking at rear seat belts etc. Has anybody got a link to a buyers guide or any points I should look at? Any chance anyone is free to come and have a look with me this afternoon? Car is in Stoke on Trent.


Cheers,

Richard

Things to Check on a Classic

On Classic models, the most notorious leaker is the steering box; if you don't like topping it up periodically the replacement is expensive. Other good leaker's are the swivel pin housings on the front wheels (the chromed spherical things on the inside of each front wheel) and the rear axle. While you're under there, have a look for any signs of rust. There shouldn't be any on West Coast vehicles; there may be some on vehicles from other areas. See if the fuel tank recall work has been done -- the original tank on 87-91 models was said to be prone to rusting between the tank and skid plate. A slightly sagging right rear corner is normal due to uneven stock spring lengths (designed to balance out when the driver is seated). More minor checks that can pay off are the operation of such items as the sunroof, the heating and air conditioning systems, and the electric door locks and seat adjustment switches. Check for rust -- the tailgate is a notorious ruster, and it's also a good idea to pull up a bit of interior carpet to see if the floor is rusted. Other Range Rover weak points are listed on the Range Rover Remedies page.
