I Posted a few days ago with a question about my choice of Land Rover.
Today I went to see the car and dragged a mechanic along. I kept the
tips some of the fellow readers posted in mind, but the Landy seems to
be in very good shape. The engine does sputter a little bit of oil from
Dip Stick hole, but there are no leaks.
The one problem I found with it (which seems to be a problem on all
Land Rovers I drove) is that the clutch is quite hard. It is not really
a problem for the occasional drive, but if I'm stuck for hours in the
traffic, I guess it could be frustrating.
Does anyone of you know of a method to fit a power clutch to it (if it
is at all possible)? It has the standard gearbox with 5 gears fit in at
the moment.
Secondly, the heat will definitely be a problem in summer. Any good
reason why I should not fit an AC unit in it? If it is OK, do you have
any particular experiences/ Recommendations etc? Please Note I live in
a warm/hot country and sometimes have to drive around in a suit, so an
AC is not a luxury.
Thanks once again,
Richard
