Just bought a 1992 Range Rover

Just bought a 1992 Range Rover that has been stood in a garage for 3 years and hasn't been started, anything I should know or look for?

oil must be changed.

coolant drained, flushed and refilled correctly.

sticking calipers.

Basically everything.......a looked after v8 is a dream.......a fooked one is a money pit nightmare.

get some pics up.

Do you know what MPG I could expect from Petrol and the LPG?

If it`s a manual, wheels in air in gear, plugs out squirt some oil down bores and turn engine over by hand before starting. If auto, plugs out oil down bores and crank over on key, but make sure you got a good/spare battery and don`t burn the starter out. Check fuel is clean, as there could be water/rust other crap in the system and best to clean this out before it reaches the pump/carbs/injection etc. New oil & filter, make sure no mices nested in air filters, new plugs, & give it a go.

Is there a Rave manual for 1992, the one that I downloaded was 1995.

Still no pictures

Here you go
