a lot!
thinking of getting rid of it, but i have spent a fortune on it. 4k maybe more
but have owned it for 8 years, and done over 50000 miles. miles on clock now is 162000.
thing is it is also a bit of a shed i have not washed it for years and use it as a skip.
but it always starts with help with a battery starter, and has never let me down. it is just waring out parts and lack of use brakes are always rusted up. i have had the sliders cleaned and freed up about 4 times.
it needs brakes doing again, some bushes stepper motor fuel sender unit. the list could go on. it also started spraying all its washer fluid from the headlight jets, i pulled fuse to stop that.
i just need a cheap but good garage to sort the car out, as i think it will still be cheaper than buying a newer model.
thanks for reading any comments would be great.

Why keep spending on a shed? fook it off and get summat better
its not my daily driver.
i only need it in winter as where i live we get snow ever year and lasts i month with ice as no gritters get to us.
with my budget being not so much, if i buy lets say a 4k p38 i could be back where i started with mine.
i have done every main problem on mine, new bags, comp, transfer box, rad, cats, exhaust, and more a lot more.
4 k spent on mine should sort everything out, but it still be worth max 1500-2000.
but could spend the 4k over the years if i can find a good garage.

most of the things you've listed you could get the parts for and do yourself but i'm guessing that's not an option?
i would have a go if i could. but no tools.
it would cost me more to get tools than just to give to a garage and have piece of mind it was done correctly.
just found Elland Independent Land Rover Centre
thinking of talking to them.
