red5 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Evening Shiters™ Spring clearout time - 1x 1990 3.9 v8 Auto Range Rover Vogue offered. Tax just ran out - can tax at buyers expense etc etc 6 months Mot remaining. Working - more then not.... Mostly, no A/c or slide on the electric sunroof. CDL cycles sometimes until you operate passenger front door. Blower resistor kaput - only works on '3'Thermostat removed by previous vendor - tin foil radiator blind expertly crafted by me at a cost of nothing.Wheels powder coated .Approx 80-90 % of brake pipes replaced for last Mot. Welded in the usual places. Brownish velour in reasonable nick.Both tailgates replaced recently - oddly hrw doesn't work, but most of the heated front screen does.One new d/p, new centre and rear exhaust for last Mot - needs other d/p welding or replacing as it blows slightly.Had new dizzy vac advance unit fitted,new air filter and 2 oil and filter changes since I purchased it. Generally tidy - some crusty bits/dents. 2nd gear sometimes selects/shifts with a thump, only on light throttle. Suspect filter blocked/blocking. Drained some of auto box oil out and replaced with correct and it improved. Apologies for blur-o-vision, new phone. Will get better in morning. Reg no spells 'GAY' - free Looking for £500ish / motorcycle hack. Cheers, Sam
wuvvum Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 That looks valu. Is that flame red? Don't think I've seen a RR in that shade before.
garbaldy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Reg no spells 'GAY' - free Thats really nice and a bit to cheap to save from the mud plugger lads, oh and VYJ does not spell gay or am i missing something
Cavcraft Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 If you got a bit pissed you could always pretend it reads 'Gravy Train' and sell it to some racist knobhead from the BNP who would use it to tour round sink estates spouting bile out of a PA system.
gadgetgricey Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Always fancied a RR, so interested in better pics in the morrow. Only down the road in Halesowen, so might see you the weekend Cheers - Dave -
Guest Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Fack me, I would be on that like a bad smell if not for the fact that I am facing skintage on V8 petrol bills. PS: If you got a bit pissed you could always pretend it reads 'Gravy Train' and sell it to some racist knobhead from the BNP who would use it to tour round sink estates spouting bile out of a PA system. This has made me done a LOLZ.
Albert Ross Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I would also be over it like a rash..... a big one. But i'm a cheapskate and don't like coil springs. Apart from my lethargy and leaf spring fetish, it looks well wobbly from here.
red5 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Comapred to my leafer fronty, and indeed the coiler it is I guess, it's had new springs recently as well, so it sits properly which will be clear in better pics...I hope. Edited for any vague attempt at making sense.
cort16 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 That looks brilliant, I don;t think I've ever seen a red RR of this vintage before.
red5 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 More pics up - follow da link ! Serving suggestion - http://s807.beta.photobucket.com/user/0 ... library/RR Any serious interest please let me know - would rather she stayed together than broken. Am in all morning, can be in afternoon if anyone wants more pics or a test etc. Cheers, Sam
Guest Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I am most unwisely talking myself into it, but would not be able to take the car until I move to deepest Grockleshire from London in a month from now. I will go away and hit myself over the head with a large tin of Hammerite, and see if this brings me to my senses. Whatever the outcome, thanks for the excellent Rangey porn.
red5 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Bloke, you have mail. I believe the reverse to be true as well, old bean.
richardthestag Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Bloody hell, if i didn't already have one and a mrs that wont let me have another id be all over that like a cheap argos duvet! I reckon a monkey for that is bargalicious!! the motor on its own is worth more to the OMG my Sherpa convertible is too slow brigade.. good luck with selling it intact
dollywobbler Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 If I'd not just bought a Mercedes, I would have bought this. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing! VALUE.
Guest Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I may possibly be having to have an, er, interesting conversation with Mrs Breadvan at some point later today. I will report back later to say whether or not my bollocks are still attached to the rest of me. explosive-cabbage 1
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I may possibly be having to have an, er, interesting conversation with Mrs Breadvan at some point later today. I will report back later to say whether or not my bollocks are still attached to the rest of me. See my post above. You will need to start wearing camouflage combat strides and aviators.
Cheggers Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 What did she say?, can you buy it?, is she now using your bollocks as a windscreen ornament?
Guest Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 All that I'm saying is that I'm glad I kept that nice velvet lined box that the Christmas cufflinks came in.
richardthestag Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 All that I'm saying is that I'm glad I kept that nice velvet lined box that the Christmas cufflinks came in. why? is that where you are going to hide the Range Rover keys?
Guest Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Alas, the space may be needed for somethings that are more, er, frangible, but, hey, now I have a plan: If I hide the keys and lie through my teeth about everything, she will never notice an enormous bright red car parked up and/or exploding and/or dissolving right outside the house, er, will she?
fotorabia Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Buy it BV..and we can come round and crack some beers when your balls have been made into a handy opener..
Guest Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 The day of the bollock bottle opener is getting closer. I have now seen this fine contraption (the Rangey,not the bollocky opener), and can confirm that it possesses many excellent car-like qualities including wheels, doors, brakes,and stuff. Coming soon, I hope, an epic tale of terror on the M5/M42/M40.
brickwall Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Can't be any worse than my M74, M73, M80 ride home. It was like driving a jelly.
Guest Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 This mighty product of Solihull is now paid for and taxed (thanks, Red5, you are a mensch), and ready for collection at some point this week. I add that I am also from Solihull, and also a bit old and knackered, so this could be a marriage made in heaven, or maybe the other place.
