Wack Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 There's a a fear of Range Rovers , you'd think they have a reputation for unreliability This one needs a lot of cleaning and the boot emptying beforeits ready for sale and It's too cold to be bothered with it and the MOT is due soon so I'm witdrawingit from sale I'd start your own thread though , people will think it's £1000 Arthur Foxhake, dome and red5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I like this, and it's even local, but I'm avoiding diesels for the rest of my life. Next time, do a V8 one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Another update , after standing for a couple of months on a battery conditioner I fired it up and , no warning lights , everything works, took it for mot today which it passed But , it does like to remind you it's a range rover , set off this morning, got 100m and the rear OS passenger window went down , put it back up, 2 minutes later went down on it's own again I think it's trying to scare me djimbob, richardthestag, jumpingjehovahs and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 The oil leak was a leaking pipe for the gearbox cooler , he nipped it up but it might want an o ring , bottom of the engine was spotless , also fixed the loose brake disc shield back on so no more rattles on every bump When it was on the mot ramp a fiat 500 was behind it , christ it's massive , the fiat looked like a lifeboat next to a ship I'm going to have to get those rear inner arches looked at though, they're not getting any better just leaving them Anybody know a welder who might be able to fabricate the parts for reasonable money , I've already got too much money in it so I'm reluctant to spend a lot more on it Looks quite good in the dark HarmonicCheeseburger, LightBulbFun and paulplom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 This is now officially 100% for sale , I've decided I don't really need it plus my tame mechanic of 16 years who has provided sterling(cheap) service has got a bloody job so he's finishing in 2 weeks It now has 12 months test on it , oil leak was o rings on the gearbox cooler pipes which have been replaced today , rattle was the cover on the brake disc which has also been fixed Any questions please ask HillmanImp, HarmonicCheeseburger and The Old Bloke Next Door 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernMonkey Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Have you got details on this?Why did you have to post that , my favourite car ever, what's the story with itIt’s a 1994 W140 5.0 V8 coupe.It’s by no means perfect...the front wings are going in the usual place and it’s got a couple of minor issues...but it’s a good solid base to work from. Mileage is around 120k, it’s got loads and loads of good history including a pretty full service book courtesy of MB and independent specialists, a decent MOT history with just advisories for a couple of brake pipes on the most recent one in November last year and most importantly seems sound mechanically with no issues other than a slightly loose front drop link that rattles occasionally going over pot holes.It does have an issue with the right hand indicators that stopped working last time I used it...chances are it’s just the stalk that needs replacing but if I ever get a spare hour, I’ll investigate further. That’s about it really....I’ve been full of good intentions to sort out the wings and other bits and bobs before advertising it on Car and Classic etc where they seem to go anywhere from £3500 up to £bloody lots for mint examples but there’s always something else that seems to take priority and now there’s another W124 due to arrive, this could really do with moving.As it stands pricewise, I reckon it’s worth around £2500 as a useable project all day long but I’d sooner have something interesting/useful in its place rather than the cash. Although cash is good too, I suppose. Shiter’s discounts are available... Pics as of this morning... Car is located in the north west, near Pendle hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
