Hello to all and yes as you might of gathered im a landy virgin! I joined your club last night wanting/needing advice after parting with some hard earned beans for my first land rover, my excitement is great but now the preverbial is twitching and i am wondering have i started my trip into landy world with the wrong bus!
So with a limited buget and bits of advice given by a local landy mechanic i went forth and bought this;
35,000 miles, No off-road use.3.5EFi V8 engine, galvinised chassis, Range Rover axles, TD5 body, stainless steel exhaust, Cat 1 Alarm Immobiliser, twin Kenlow Fans, Freestyle wheels w/265 BFGs, privacy glass, bull bars, CD/radio player. MOT August ,
she's a 1979 plate but not one bit of rust/corrosion anywhere.
I know shes a bit of a heinz 57 with a td5 defender body sat on range rover running gear with a thirsty old v8.
I ve paid £3500 for her, have i done the right thing?
I await all your opions/advice good or bad.
Kindest regards and whatever the outcome, glad to be here.
