Hey guys, i just got my truck last Saturday!

Hello guy's i would just like to introduce myself. my name is Ramsey, i live in Harrisburg pa and i just bought a land rover today! Ive always wanted one since i was young. we've had 2 Isuzu troopers, we go down to the obx alot during the off season and take advantage of the northern beach access and the back trails. we haven't had a truck for about a year and a half, and I've been missing it. I am a German car enthusiast mostly sedans. I just got out of a very serious love/hate, addictive, unhealthy, obsessive relationship with a 2001.5 Audi s4 6speed stage 2 yada yada ect.. my fiance has an 06 c280 4matic. and ive also got a 1979 Mercedes s class. well about the truck i just got.

its a 96 se7 manual transmission. black on tan 116,000 miles young

this is my first v8+ my first land rover and it didn’t come with an owners manual

. the exterior looks like a brand new car!! and mechanically it drives great! i mean 0 issues, 200+ miles just to get it home. but the interior ... not so much. it looks like someone has been messing with the interior electronics hardcore. i have the red (break) light on, and the (ANTI LOCK) light on., and of course the crummy headliner, and the foggy rear upper left window. The carpet in the front passengers floor has been removed and a lot of wires just hanging out in there under the glove box, there is something unplugged in there. along with that the whole center consul is loose and has screws missing, rear windows don’t work, and behind that center consul in that back seat it looks like another panel is missing exposing more wires and yet another unplugged thing. oyeah the radio is locked and my right front fog light is out

i don’t get it how can the exterior look soooo good and it drive so well, and NOT LEAK ANYTHING!!!! at ALL. no over heating, starts right up, feels good on power. BUT the inside looks like its been stolen and gone through everything, the key starter thing was replaced??? like it really looks like some one took it apart and threw it back together again within literally 45seconds.. the carfax report it having electrical system done twice ... by Land Rover dealerships. ...

...owell. the car is awesome and lets face it i didn’t buy a Land Rover for the interior

everything else loving it. n besides who the hell wants to buy a car that doesn’t need a bit of TLC?? where’s the fun in that!

I am now the proud owner of a land rover

after looking more closely Ive come to the conclusion that this car has had an after market/or stock??? stereo system. the undone plug under the glove box SEEMS to be connected to the radio and under the front passengers seat there is another undone plug labeled "amp". Also there is a bracket under the front passenger's seat that is not holding anything.??

i just want to figure what was supposed to be underneath the center console in the back facing the the back seats? is it an ash tray or rear climate buttons or what? if someone could help me figure out what has been stripped out of there id appreciate it. there is an undone plug and a little place to fit something in there...

anyway, i was told this is one of the best landrover sites around, and being a noob at LR im sure i will have questions.

Don't worry im not a stranger to online forums, every car i own or have owned im a frequent member of the forums. ... i know how to use "search" lol.

i look forward to chatting cars with you guys!
