Seen this on the bay a couple of times recently and it hasn't sold. It has a few faults and need advice on whether they are bad enough to make me stay away.

Range Rover P38 HSE 4x4 Petrol/LPG | eBay

If you can't be arsed reading it the probs are:

This truck speaks for itself, but it does have a few minor issues that need addressing, hence the cheap buying price! These are that the SRS light is on(this is the spiral cassette). The number 1 coil on the coil pack has corroded, and therefore, takes up to, but no more than 3 turns of the key to start it. Once started, now and again it runs a little peaky on idle, but other than this runs great. One of the rear seatbelts buckles has broken on the plastic. The headlining is a bit saggy, but not unbearable, could be repaired. The electronic unit on the transfer box needs replacing as when it is in low box, there is a constant binging noise that would drive you mad!!


What do ya reckon?
 
sounds like more probs are ahead. bidding has ended. reserve not met.

could be wrong though. you may be able to get away with a coil pack, headlining can be repaired (see howto at top of forum page), the transfer case is the bit that worries me the most. as he said, could be the motor, or, could be something different altogether.

looks like it has been used a lot for off road with that big Fook off tow ring on the front :D:D

and the tank in the boot? no way!

I wasn't too worried about cosmetic stuff (headlining etc) it was the low box noise and the srs lights that really stopped me from pursuing it. I'd heard that srs could be dodgy connectors or something more serious i.e. costly.

Tank in the boot doesn't bother me much, they can be shifted quite cheaply.

It's been listed twice already so thought I'd get some advice before it gets listed again for cheaper and I do something stupid like buy it :D

Cheers for the advice, I'll give it a miss. ;):)
 
short & sweet, like it :D
Been told I write some of the longest answers to posts and whilst they are fun and informative, can waffle on and on, so I am trying to save people from reading to much and getting bored.

So far I am doing resonably well, but On the odd occasion I do still end up writing pages and pages on something that could answered in just a few short, simple words.

Take for instance this post, I should have just left it at the first 9 words and have done with it, but instead I have waffled on and on again so much so that you are now bored stupid, and wished you had never asked or commented...sorry for that, it is not intended and prehaps I should stop typing now and get back to helping the girlfriend decorate the tree, but that only descends into an argument as I just throw them on in any old order, whereas she has a system apparently...still I love her and thats what counts...

She's short and sweet too....!!:D
