Thanks for your very good information, and kind advices! Very helpful indeed! Now a question: if those vehicles are so valued (indeed, when I was driving in London, I had a couple of people saying at red light that they really liked it!) we need special insurance? What are your recommendations...

Superb picture! Thank you for sharing it! I have seen a Santana, a Land Rover manufactured in Spain under licence, the guy traveled Africa with it. The complete set, I think a 110 with sleeping tent on top of car. He dreams of the Classic, does not find it... Thanks for pictures...

Hi all, I have a Range Rover Classic, two door, Shire blue, not a point of rust, engine completely renewed, suspension top condition, and I have just returned from a meeting in Bavaria and noticed how much interest this car has for fans of rustic old timers for travel or transformation...

Maybe the rear disks? I really don't know. The fact is that I had this vibration about six months ago, and that replacing the front discs completely solved the problem. Now it is here again. I was thinking that maybe the quality of the Ferrodo discs I bought online is not good. Perhaps faked parts?

Hi! Just came back after 6000 km of travel with the P38, and I have this vibration when I am braking at speed. According to the garage, the front discs have to be replaced. I did that about 8000 km ago, and I am not a hard user of brakes. So I don't get it! One answer: I got the brakes...

Driving from Castello de la Plana to the center of Barcelona. I did about 4,500 km since October 13, mostly in Spain. The P38 did magnificently with 8.3 litres per 100 km (Diesel). Met very few other Range Rovers. One near Valence, a RR3, and two Evoques in Barcelona. Of course, the three of...

I got mine disassembled in a garage in Poole, Dorset, and they were amazed that I had no rust underneath, after almost 25 years of continuous use. The only rust I got was guess where under the rubber mats of the driver's cabin. Ouh! But otherwise very clean!! Rust is the Nr 1 killer of...

Yes, that is amazing, she is leaning to the side! And I don't know why. They even give different springs to balance the weight of whatever equipment. But it was amazingly cheap to replace the parts! I mean, much cheaper than I expected... Did you go polybush? I did!

Thanks for your input! :)

Yes, I had a hard time with this too, as I use XM+S type MIchelins on the Classic, and an old Mercedes I have. But the thing is that in Continental Europe, like in Russia for instance, you need winter tyres no question. Here in Western France, I recommend using summer tyres which are great in...

That is wonderful idea, as I hate to discard things. Thank you!

Hi all, this is my laundry list for the things to do with my Range Rover Classic. I would like to know if you would have suggestions of your own. Problem 1. The ceiling canvas is gone, I ripped it off a long time ago, and I would like to find a good solution, insulating from heat and cold...

1) if the CD changer works once, it should work again:confused: But you never know, may be dead. I will try to check this out. Do you know just in case where I can get it repaired or replaced? eBay? But who says that a used model is going to work better? 2) if the display is actually...

Okay, I got her beautifully running now, but there are still some nagging points, albeit rather secondary ones: 1. CD-Changer (I posted on this topic earlier on). After trying several things, always without results - CD looking dead, I pulled out the radio and found out that the connector to...

The Nexen tyres get good results in Germany with a solid 2.0. (Gut).
