terminals are the wrong way round on a type 663 :(

not the sellers fault as no mention of range rover in listing and if i do send it back it back i'd have to cough up for postage and restocking fee. just narks me off that varta said tough not our fault or our problem their attitude sucks and they basically said i was totally wrong and it is the...

Below is a copy of an email I've just sent to Varta UK pretty self explanatory. Bought a battery based on Varta search system battery doesn't fit and Varta couldn't give a toss. Admittedly I didn't purchase it direct from Varta but you'd think a big company like that would be slightly more...

I left the motor disconnected as I wasn't sure if it would try and stick it back in low if I plugged it back in. Probably just the shock of the button being pressed for first time in years, previous owner said he didn't know what that button did as he'd never pressed it before!

Cheers for the pointers...All looks reasonably straight forward, shame previous owner let all those things build up I like to try and sort stuff on cars as soon as it goes wrong

Missed one...pressed the hi lo ratio button...went into lo ok but wouldn't come out so had to remove transfer box control motor and change it manually. Dash display still thinks I'm in low ratio.

List of things to fix is growing :) Passenger lock not unlocking with rest of locks Remote central locking does nothing Headlining saggy in rear corners Rear suspension drops to bump stops when parked Indicator stalk sometimes won't indicate right Climate control has book symbol and makes nasty...

Thanks for the pointer I'll have a look when I'm under it next. Ordered the air shocks and drag link track rod today looking forward to getting it all working as it should. Was under it while mate wiggled steering wheel yesterday and he managed to get nearly two inches of steering wheel...

quite surprised at how clean it is underneath for a 21 year old car. are most p38's pretty good at that sort of age?

veiwed it...found air leak in rear air spring but other than that very clean and genuine....knocked owner down a bit in price...bought it :) full service history spotless underneath no rot any where, shiny on top, just a few jobs to do(air spring and drag link) and i should have a very clean...

:)Cheers for the replies. Found the thread and heights, will take a tape measure with me.

Sorry meant to post in range rover section seem to have been diverted here

Hi I'm Interested in buying an old p38 that's come up for sale local to me. Before I go and view it one thing I've noticed in the ad pics is that it looks like it's sat very low. Is that normal for a parked range rover? Or is that a parked setting you select when you park up? Looking on google...
