Other than the rusty pipes.....the interior is more or less mint. Engine and gearbox are silky smooth and everything else, including the air suspension, appears to work as it should. Looking at the heads it seems like the head gaskets have been done at some point - they look far too clean for...

Although I appreciate a "hoe" as much as the next guy....I actually meant hoses!

I have found an online manual. The pic below shows the metal pipes I need, but conveniently they are not described! The lower metal pipe does go down to the thermostat housing, the upper metal pipe goes round the front of the engine. Both metal pipes have rubber hoes attached to them and...

Hi...yeah thanks for that, just found one!

Many thanks for that. Yes the colour is great. Bit of lacquer peel but otherwise pretty good for the year.

Many thanks! Yes, I thought so too! Drives beautifully.

Hi everyone, I have just bought my second RR - a 1999/T P38 4.0 for £995. 91k on the clock, and almost everything works! The only thing that didn't work was the heater matrix, but I have had this fixed by my local garage...almost! The rubber pipes that attach to the metal pipes that come...

yes it does...plenty of red “FAIL” as far as I can see!! That’s one thing that puts me off! I’m a big Volvo fan (old school, not modern, they’re garbage) and I’m looking at a V70 mk1 with 200k on the clock looks mint with only one or two fails for very minor stuff and not a mention of “rust”...

Brilliant many thanks for that. I’ll give it a thorough going over. General condition looks exceptional considering the mileage. Interior same, with the usual hole in the drivers seat! Underneath looks clean with only minor surface rust which I could address. Propshafts in place! Lady...

Sorry I forgot it’s manual not auto.

Cheers mate...I've heard that one from a couple of people!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I'm a member of other car forums including the Volvo Owners Club forum. I am considering buying a 2004 Freelander TD4 with 171k, a full service history, full MoT, good bodywork and tidy interior. The seller is asking £950. I am test driving the car...
