No it's just haunted

Check the brake fluid reservoir!

 

It is a Rover* after all.

[Wack]

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

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

Why did you have to post that , my favourite car ever, what's the story with it

[Dan_ZTT]

I showed my wife a picture of this range rover and she really liked it. Dangerous.

[Wack]

I wish mine did , I'd sell her car instead and keep it

[Kiltox]

I wish mine did , I'd sell her car instead and keep it

You know, I think she would really love a brown X5

[Wack]

Unfortunately she really loves a white B class , anyway you don't need it now you've joined the ranks of the elite BMW club

Short version

Bought Nov 17 with a blown engine

Put new engine in that was worse than the old one

Put another 70,000 mile engine in out of a 330D that I saw running this time

 

It's got loads of history inc recon gearbox and suspension done

 

I'm the 3rd owner

 

Drives ok , no warning lights on , 2 keys, one needs a battery , 12 months mot, everything works inc AC

 

Needs the blower direction box sorting , it's on your feet, could be 5 minutes , could be 30 mi utes then theres a whoosh as something frees off and it's all working normally

I had a Google and it's something to do with vents, the box goes misshapen, I read a screw in the right place pulls it back into shape

 

Inner rear arches behind the back doors need welding , heated screen only demists the passenger side

 

It'll come with the original 18" wheels and wheel nuts as well as the 19" that are on it, but the 18" tyres are close to the limit

 

Qualifies for modern classic insurance , adrian flux quoted me under £200 TPFT , I went with A plan at £300 fully comp

 

I haven't advertised it anywhere else yet

It’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

[Wack]

I was thinking it was an earlier one , I had this picture in my head

[NorthernMonkey]

I wish it was. I sold my last W126 eight years ago for £6500 and the same car sold recently for £15000!

[Wack]

That's why my ears pricked up when you typed 500SEC

 

I saw a really nice one for sale in Ireland a few years ago that a guy had seriously under priced , it was gone in hours

[stephen01]

I see this as my next family car, the wife unfortuantly wants another C4 Picasso.. 

 

[Wack]

Women , cant live with them , can't live with them

 

I think that's right

[Wack]

Surely somebody wants a quality piece of German engineering with a range rover badge on it , this is rapidly approaching me having to pay another months tax on it

 

£2350

[Robson3022]

Yes, still waiting on disco man...
