M Range Rover Classic 300TDI Black

M 94 Range Rover Classic 300TDi

After a lot of hard work I'm afraid Marvin is going up for sale. It's been a
long journey and after not such a bad winter and not much spare time to
journey out I'd rather let him goto to someone to enjoy rather than just use
for the school runs.

Since the build last year and the tussle with the DVLA to finally get Marvin
fully registered as a Range Rover I have only done a thousand or so miles
ferrying the kids to and from school with the exeption of a few greenlanes
here and there. I would have loved to take him to a pay and play and almost
did once or twice at the begining of the year but other things came up.

Heres a list of whats been done to Marvin:

136k 300TDi Engine with new P gasket, Water Pump, core plugs (inc the one
at the rear) and reconditioned head. Lift pump, glow plugs and belts also
new. Timing belt replaced at 134k

Discovery chassis, fully treated and repainted with no repairs and waxoyled
inside and out.

24 spline front and rear diffs.
Discovery Alloys with 235 85 16 General Grabber AT2's all very good tread.
Spare Steel wheel with new 235 85 16 General Grabber AT2
Spare Modular Steel Wheels, 16" with extended offset
Bull Bar with Fog light mounts (unfitted)
Front and rear diff gaurds
Front steering Gaurd
Twin Batterys Fitted
Poly bushed
Wading kit fully fitted and plumbed in including the timing cover
Snorkel
EGR Removed
CB Radio (no aerial)
Heavy duty front turrets
Rear dislocation cones
2" Springs front and rear
2" Shocks front and rear
2" Double cranked rear arms with rock sliders
Extended Stainless Braided Brake Hoses
New brake lines throughout
New billet floor to chassis mounts

Full Brownchurch Roof rack with High lift Jack mounts, waffle board mounts
and spare wheel holder, side shovel brackets included but unfitted.

Tow bar

Good bits:

Marvins Body is sound, before I used it for the build it had been sent to
bodycraft for any repairs needed by the previous owner. Waxoyled
underneath.

Even though poly bushed the ride is smooth and quiet with no whining from
either diff or the box, high and low work as they should and so does the diff
lock.

The injector pump has never been modified so a good MPG is still returned.

The Upper and lower rear doors are in very good condition, a let down on
some range rovers I'm told.

The black paint is very clean not covered in scratches.

Clean Gray cloth interior with armrests all round.

Spare 4 pin diff to use to replace rear flange and propshaft to suit should
you wish to.

Bad bits:

Wheel balance issue at 53-58 no vibration before or after this.

Only the front windows are working on the button, the rears are wired but not
connected.

The bonnet has a crackling effect in the paint on the sides.

The sunroof is disconnected as I had the CB mounted there instead but I do
have the switch panel still.

Central locking does not work but all doors lock, I have a few spare
solenoids I will include.

I am working on all these bad points while Marvin is for sale so the list
should decrease!

Also included are a few recovery ropes, straps and shackles.

I have the logbook, in my name and fully registered as a Range Rover. Tax
is till the end of May and the MOT expires September the 14th this year. Last
MOT was passed with flying colours.

Looking for offers in the region of £2,000

Anyone interested should contact me via PM or any questions can be
posted here. I have many pictures of the build or can direct you to the forum
threads following it.

Many thx for reading,

Jon

Got any pics? Or a link to the build thread please? Thanks

Here are just a few pics from the build without sending you all over the place:

and a few more:

And some more

And these, the one showing the rack and snorkel is the most recent although not very clear pic, I will get some more later today.

Wow! I have to ask you how long all this took you & why you decided to do it?
Very impressive. Wish I LIVED (doh!) bit closer.

Thanks fella, took about 3 months of spare time. Had help from a friend and the farmer next door for lifting the shell.

My Discovery had fell victim to tin worm and Marvin (a V8 at the time) had just passed his MOT but an electrical fault in the loom meant he was a non runner.

Just made sense to use the best shell on a chassis we had the opportunity to prep first and could get to all those jobs that are otherwise really difficult.

Looks like you've done all the hard work. Shame I live 250 miles away

I wish I had the space, would have it if I did.

Well I'm certainly interested.

I am interested though

Dunno why I posted that twice

Is that a disco dashboard & RRover seats? Also, does marvin have carpets?

Yes it is, Fully loomed too.

Yes they are RRC seats rather clean condition.

He does have all carpets and rubber over mats 8)

If I lived nearer id come & drool over it. However, Im way darn sarf in Kent & I dunno when ill next get any time off for a long journey. im in the middle of a big building project so Im working 8 days a week for the foreseeable

Let me know if you ever go near my neck of the woods.

Price drop, offers IRO £1,500

Don't want to mess you about, I don't have the funds to buy just had to say, your car looks amazing bud, excellent work.

Good luck with the sale.
