Hi everyone
I have purchased my first 4x4 car ever

I have a 1997 range rover p38 4.6 v8 petrol
firstly the air suspension is playing up so I have found a reputable garage to do a coil conversion costing me 392 pounds.(goes in tomorrow)
it needs a new alternator apparently an easy job
, most of the electronics in the cockpit are working but drivers side window will not go up or down and also the dash display only half lights up, head liner is sagging, rear tail light is dim, other than the above mentioned problems the engine is sound, automatic transmission is smooth, no overheating, body work is good, underneath is good, no rust etc, has mot till November no advisories,
I have read some very bad reviews
and some great ones
I will be honest I love the way this car looks
and inside it is so comfortable the ride height is great and fuel isn't as bad as I was expecting, but I do not have the funds to get all jobs done at he garage I didn't deliberately go out to buy this car I wanted a 4x4 as im sick of getting stuck in the snow etc and I love how they look, I was offered this car at a cheap price, this is my only car I cannot afford to keep 2, so any advice on fixing the above faults would be very appreciated, and also does anyone know where I can get a hold of a second hand 7 seat conversion kit, I know they exist for this model but I'm having a terrible time trying to find one, i've found new ones but they are out of my budget,
many thanks
