L322 4.4 V8 petrol gone through deep water

Hi guys so I'm looking at buying a range rover 4.4 v8 petrol 2002 from someone online he's gone through deep water off road he said he's drove it back and all was okay drove for a hour

Now he's saying that the car won't start he's not used it for a week the car turns over but won't fine what the best thing to start with to get this to run it's a decent price aswell so I would like all help to try and fix it

What's a decent price for a scrap car these days ??
I just scrapped a 1998 mondeo and got £187 for it.

You wont know until you plug it in, then carry out some basic checks, compression, getting fuel/gettinig spark and so on.

Iirc there are something like 28 ecus in the range rovers?

Maybe ring a land rover breaker and see what they would give you for it, then offer that, so if its goes tits up at least you have a get out already planned.

Only you know that. Especially as you have tried nothing so far.
Also this is the introduction section. Technical questions are best in the relevant section for your model. Yours being the Range Rover section.
BTW we are not all 'guys'.

Okay sorry I was just asking a quick question I didn't mean to offend you I didn't mean it just as men only it was just how I put it but everything you have said I have noted

No offence here.
It may seem like a 'quick question', but no point it being in Introduce Yourself, where those who may have the answer don't/rarely visit.
Post it in the Range Rover section, it will get more views , more replies and probably the answer you search .
Have fun
