Is it a good car? Does anybody own/owned it and what do you think? Anything and everything.. feedback please is $6,500 a good price for it?What do you think of a used 2002 Land Rover Freelander AWD SE ?
I wouldn't even think about it.

75% chance it's a POS.What do you think of a used 2002 Land Rover Freelander AWD SE ?
No RR.



Maybe the Indians will improve them now that they own the brand %26amp; Jag.



And Kia has been rehabilitated, afaik, CR likes them and sister company, Hyundai.



Jeep is prob worse than VW.



Then there's Toyota's 14,000,000 vehicle global recall and $50,000,000 fine [no typos.]

Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?

I'm going to buy a new 4x4, should I just stick to what I know and get another Defender or wait until the Iveco Massif is available here?Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
Just as above (and J.G a very reliable and informative person) Ivecos are awful, awful things. Hopelessly unreliable, terribly built and a waste of space. A Defender is a fairly old fashioned and acquired vehicle but pretty well built and awesome off road.

Don't discount the Japanese though, some really, really good well built, reliable vehicles from the likes of Toyota etc.Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
I've just been on Iveco's site, it looks a piece of crap to be honest. It has all round leaf springs, and I've driven Iveco vans with the 3.0 engine - they are horrendous on fuel %26amp; very unreliable.

If you need a Defender because of work %26amp; towing, I'd stick with it or try a Japanese vehicle, but I'd give the Iveco a wide berth.



Just found this;

can't understand how they reckon it may surpass the defender off road BECAUSE of it's leaf springs, though!?!Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
buy the defender the latest one with the ford v6 engine is the best ever,not as comfortable a ride as some but will go anywhere on or off road

  • What is up with Land Rover?

    I bought a Land Rover discovery in May. We paid what the retail value is currently. The trade in value online is 7-8 thousand less than the retail ( which I know happens) but we have been offered less than 1/2 of the retail because " no one wants them" Any suggestions on where to sell it other than local paper? ANyone used Ebay? We would like to get at least what book trade in value is for it!! It has become our 2nd car, so we want to get rid of the payment, since we don't use it much now. HELP! We want to get the most we can out of it, but want to sell it %26amp; not let it sit.What is up with Land Rover?
    If it is in good shape and has the appropriate mileage, no mechanical issues, there is know reason a dealer won't give you k.b.b. trade in value. Just stand your ground. Alternative is eBay. Disco's do very well on there. Make sure you emphasize "clean" "no-leaks" "runs-great".

    If it has issues you will have a hard time getting what you want...........LRLVR

    P.S. There are allot of rover lovers out there that are willing to pay more for a well maintained truck, even if it's a little dirty....good luckWhat is up with Land Rover?
    Ask the dealership if there are any LR clubs in the area. Post your ad with them.

    Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?

    If its the heat shield that's rattling then its okay, if not and the rattling in inside the converter it needs replaced. This can be checked and usually a muffler shop will do it for free. Hope it doesn't need replaced though because they can be expensive, my 99 chevy would cost $800 for both.Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
    Yes, apparently.



    Look here:

    http://www.roverparts.com/TechTips/Exhaust_Rattle_Catalytic_Converter.cfmDo the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
    there is a heat shield made of sheet metal that comes loose and rattles.this happens to alot of vehicles and not just a toyota thing.just have someone tack weld it back in place.Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
    A rattle in a cat. convertor is either a heat shield or the cat. has gone bad have an exhaust shop check them if they are bad, have them put new ones in that are at least rated for 5800gvwr trucks.then check the emmisions as some thing cause them to fail
    They can fall apart inside, but it's usually just the heat shield. If you tack weld it back on it will just break loose again. The best fix is a couple of hose clamps going all the way around.

    Important - Do they offer air cooled seats? This is the best feature! Could I get an air cooled chair put into the driver's side replacing the regular chair... If I really wanted? How much is that?If I am thinking about buying a Land Rover Sport or Range Rover then what other cars are comparable? Reliable?
    If the one you want doesn't have air cooled seats, they can not be added on. That's an option installed at the factory.



    But please reconsider getting any Land Rover. They have terrible reliability history. As bad as Range Rovers. All Rovers have been at the very bottom of JD Power ratings since 2000. The results are base strictly on Rover owners rating their own cars. Take it from those who own them ... avoid them at all cost.If I am thinking about buying a Land Rover Sport or Range Rover then what other cars are comparable? Reliable?

  • Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?

    It would be nice to send a rover to Venus and have it sent back pics like the rovers in Mars. But is it possible yet? I know that Venus is literally HELL so it would have to be an extremely tough rover.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    Actually the Russians have already sent probes to Venus. The first probe that landed on Venus was the Venera 4 on 1967. Although most were destroyed due to the immense pressure and heat.



    Search up the Venera 4, Venera 5, Venera 6, Venera 7, ect.
    with the atmospheric pressure, yes. it is not impossible. nothing is. stick a black hole generator onto a ship and it will go the speed of light.(dangerous though) . the technology would have to be pretty advanced thoughIs it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    The Russians did sent a probe called Venera which landed on Venus. However it was not mobile, and it died rather quickly from the high temperatures.
    Yes, but it would be pretty futile: The rover wouldn't last more than two hours in the best case, so the mobility wouldn't be exploited well. Even if you can do a quick start, you couldn't travel more than 2 kilometers before overheating, without any science being done, and with the motors of the motive system additionally overheating you.



    The best research tool on Venus would actually be a blimp or zeppelin, since the dense atmosphere would make this easier.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    The Russian venera spacecraft were not rovers, just landers and none of them

    lasted more than about an hour. Eventually, technology will probably

    overcome the hurdles of temperature and pressure and give us a clearer

    picture of what the surface of Venus is like but that day is pretty far off right now.
    A number of stationary soft-landed surface probes have already been sent to Venus and have returned valuable surface condition data. No rover has yet been sent. The harsh conditions on the Venus surface make it very challenging to engineer a surface vehicle (stationary or mobile) with a duration longer than about 30 minutes.
    They already have.

    1998 Land Rover Discovery Power Seats and Radio Not Working?

    On my 98 Disco both the passenger and driver side seats arent working. I couldn't locate a fuse for it but I noticed a bunch of relays under neath driver side seat. Could one of them control the power seats. If so, which one?



    Also my radio is not turning on at all. I do even see the clock displaying on it. Is there a fuse behind the radio? Because I checked the fuse under the dash and that was fine.1998 Land Rover Discovery Power Seats and Radio Not Working?

    Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?

    Which one?Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    I would buy the Toyota.

    The Land Rover costs much more for repair and maintenance.
    Discoverys are crap. My father has owned two and neither of them are any good. Always something breaking down on them. 4 Runners are 1,000 times better. I remember a popular car magazine calling the Land Rover Discovery "The truck that will get you there, but might not get you back." The prices on the Discovery are attractive but there's a reason for their super low resale value. They aren't reliable and their parts are very expensive. Have you driven it yet? It feels like the front seats are too close to the doors. The 4 Runner is kinda narrow too but at least it has enough shoulder room for anyone. Still, the 4 Runner would get my nod.

    Update: In response to another answer, the Discovery should be more luxurious. It was costing $50,000 when the 4 Runner was $30,000. However, look at the prices now. Look at what 2003 models are selling for. The 4 Runner only costs 2-3000 less to buy. That's a big difference from $20,000 brand new. Also, let's not forget the suspension systems that fail on the air suspensions on Land Rovers that tend to fail at an alarming rate. $8,000 to repair?Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    Unless you have a large amount of money to spend on up keep buy the Toyota. Rovers are nice cars but figure to spend about $4000 a year in up keep. I work in the car world and many of my Rover customers call them the $2000 cars, because every time one comes in it needs $2000 in work.
    I would always get a Disco anytime. I have a well maintained Disco and I drove the 4runner for sometime as well. The Disco is much more fully equipped and much more capable than the runner and does not have that certain" cheapness" that the runner has.Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    it realy depends at what suits you. do you prefer a lux car or a domestic one. but to answer your question i would get the 4 runner.
    Id buy a 1987 4runner with 500,000 miles on it and rust holes before i took a 2009 Rover for the same money new..

    What country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?

    UKWhat country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    Yes, England
    Land Rover is a British (UK) brand, but the company is currently owned by Ford Motor Company (US)What country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    As someone has said, they were originally a British-owned brand, but after British Leyland went under Ford purchased them. I imagine that Ford's U.K. branch has control over the factory now.
    EnglandWhat country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    The Land Rover factory is based in the West Midlands in England. Yes is is and always will technically be a British car company, but was at one point owned by BMW who really only wanted the air suspension design to put in their vehicles, then sold on to FORD.

    In 1988 British Aerospace bought Rover Group (which includes Land-Rover). Rover Group was sold to BMW in 1994.



    In April 2000, BMW announced that it would break up and sell Rover, selling Land Rover (to Ford), keeping the new Mini, and selling the rest of the car section to an investment company `Alchemy' which would make and sell sports cars under the `MG' name (the British government was not pleased!). By late April, the Alchemy deal may have fallen through with a rival `Phoenix' group, led by an ex-Rover executive, still in the race.
    Scottish born has the most detailed info, but the short version is they are a UK company, who used to be affiliated with BMW but is now part of Ford's corporate umbrella under what they call their premium identity brands, along with Aston Martin, Jaguar (both British), and Volvo. Of all of Ford's aquisitions, Land Rover has managed to stay the most independent in terms of parts sharing, so they are still much like they have always been.

    -im looking at 1997 specifically with about 115,000 on it for about $4,000.

    I wouldn't buy a Land Rover - period!

    They get poor fuel economy and don't have great ratings either.At what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?
    I would say at .5 miles it would not be wise to purchase a used Land Rover. Unless you are a skilled mechanic and have the funds for replacement parts. They are great when they work but bears when they go bad.At what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?
    Over 10,000 miles.

    Land rovers where the english take on the jeep from the second world war and was made for farmers to move animals and the like...

    Range rovers were made for the upperclass farmer type pillocks who spend all there time riding horses and shooting clay pidgeons(sort of a weekend farmer)..

    Land rover was originally made by british leyland and the range rover was a suburban land rover...
    A Land rover is stronger and a better work horse.

    You can pull heaver stuff with a landrover and they go on and on and on. They dont rust as quick..

    But it depends what you want to use it for. Check your local dealer ship.....What is the difference between a Land Rover and Range Rover?
    Landrover is the make.

    There are many types of landrover:

    defender 90/110, freelander, discovery, rangerover, rangerover sport etc etc.

    The rangrover / rangrover sport are the luxury end of landrover and therefore more expensive, and the defender is the more basic workhorse vehicle.
    Land Rovers are for people that actually go off road, Range Rovers are for drug dealers.

    They'll be made by the same people in the same place, just the owner is changing.



    Land Rovers were unreliable when independent, owned by BMW, owned by Ford, and I'd guess they'll continue to be unreliable being owned by Tata.



    And Jags aren't much better.



    As the other poster wrote, I wouldn't have bought one before, maybe they'll improve with the new owners.

    diesel like to have a pressurized system if you ran it to the point it was out of fuel (I hope you did not ruin the pump) you will need to look under the hood for a schrader valve ( like a tire valve stem) and (use safety glasses as fuel is high pressure and will spray) and have someone turn it over and you bleed the air out of the system if no pressure builds up you may need a new pump

    I'll say it a million times - do you think there are people out there who are giving away money because they are bored or something??????



    If you were rich, would you give away Land Rovers and cash?



    How do you think they get their money? I suppose you could send them $20 and find out :-)
    Do you have a shredder. Put the $20 in the shredder or better still shred the letter. The second option is cheaper.

    If you send the money they will mark you as a mug, and then ask for shipping cost, insurance, %26amp;c. %26amp;c. until you get wise. Same thing as the "Tarmac your drive" merchants really
    No doubt you will have to pay by credit card or online check. Take a hard think and guess what they will do with that info. Something for nothing which you did not apply to is someway they want to do a little ID theft. And sometimes things you did apply to are, too.
    Yes people get this stupid letters all the time, all they want is your name and account number to send you the money, I don't think for one minute that someone will give up to theses people, just bin the letter and never give your name or account details.
    I live in Mumbai, India and I also got this letter yesterday. Strange that the letter was posted from Singapore and they want me to send Rs. 1000/- in cash to some UK address. Definitely it's a scam.
    If you've got $20 to blow, go ahead and send it in, but all you'll get is an education on how to be scammed.
    How on earth can you have won a competition you never entered?
    Mark the envelope RTS, and put it in the post box.

    Can a corvette engine fit into a 2003 Land Rover?

    If so could u suggest where to buy the engine or even just a Land Rover engine. I live around the pittsburgh PA. thanksCan a corvette engine fit into a 2003 Land Rover?
    you need a donor car or a donor wreck (something with the rear end totaled) because you need the wiring harness , the computer and the engine and tranny. And you are going to have to find out if the drive line and front and rear ends are tough enough to use with that engine. As far as finding used engines auto dismantle rs are often hooked up to a hot line for parts, Its best if you have a working relation ship with an auto dismantler for example like a local shop that buys a lot of parts. The dismantler is going to make sure he gets a good quality engine and tranny and computer and electrical harness necessary. Because they do not want to lose the shops business. If you go in off the and are just being a collection of parts, its a lot more easy to get taken advantage off if you do not know what you are doing, and who you are doing business with.

    If it absolutely must be a corvette engine, expect to pay for it. and its not going to be cheap you can find a heck of a lot of built 350 for what the corvette engine would cost. so unless you have deep pockets that is going to be an expensive project.Can a corvette engine fit into a 2003 Land Rover?

One of my friends said that and I just thought that I would check and make sure.Do I have to buy foreign oil to put into a Land Rover LR3 HSE?
    The LR3 does not require "foreign" oil. I suspect your friends are somewhat clever and were making a joke at your expense, considering that the LR3 is an SUV. If they were not making a joke, and they actually believe you have to import motor oil for that engine, than I suspect they are not clever at all.



    Land Rover does not use anything special in their engines. As a matter of fact, even the modern Land Rover engine likes to keep things simple. The dealers strongly suggest you keep that in mind, and as such they recommend oil weights that are very common around town.



    No matter what that manual says, you can bet it will ask for something that is easy to get just about anywhere. Just avoid taking it to Jiffy Lube, unless you bring your own oil.



    This is not because you need special oil, this is because the stuff they actually keep around is absolute crap. You may as well go to Advance Auto, O'Reilly, Carquest, Napa or Autozone and get the proper weight and a good brand. They WILL have what you need. Land Rovers aren't made of faerie dust, you don't have to bless the oil and dip it in the waters of the river Styx for it to work. It just has to be the right viscosity, and that is all.



    As for working on the vehicle, many Land Rover owners take pleasure in doing their own work. If this isn't the case for you, have no fear. The bits that make Land Rovers tick operate on the same principals that all other vehicles do. The only difference in a Land Rover is that the parts are larger, and require more regular maintenance.



    This is where people get the wrong idea about Land Rovers. People think that more service equals bad reliability. This is not the case.



    Normal vehicles are designed to last for about 150,000 miles. They generally go a bit longer, but they are basket cases at that point. Ready for the junk yard at the big 200.



    Land Rovers are designed to last indefinitely. This being the case, you are expected to take better care of them, so the parts will keep on working properly for years to come. The parts are designed to be serviced, and if they are not serviced, they will fail.



    In contrast, many other vehicles are not designed to be serviced to any great degree. The parts go for their 150,000 miles or so, and then fail one by one until the vehicle is useless.



    As an example, on the Discovery II, the owner is capable of actually lubricating the blower motor bearings for the climate control system. From start to finish, it takes about 5 minutes. Try THAT on a Chevrolet.



    A Land Rover is a reliable vehicle, you just have to maintain it properly, and be prepared to maintain it more often. You can find service techs in almost every area that are comfortable with servicing a Land Rover. They commonly have a shop that specializes in both Japanese and European vehicles. Your Land Rover, however, will not require frequent trips to the dealer, beyond the dealer maintenance schedule that you should do on ANY car, if you are incapable of doing it yourself.



    In town, you will mainly be concerned with lubrication. Anyone can do this, just don't use the crap lube they will try and sell you. Use what you are supposed to use.Do I have to buy foreign oil to put into a Land Rover LR3 HSE?
    Why don't you think other dealers can do the work ? No you do not need "foreign" oil. They may look nice but they are very expensive to repair.Do I have to buy foreign oil to put into a Land Rover LR3 HSE?
    European car makers have a different kind of requirement for oil using a different system for specification. You are best off by using either Mobil One 0W-40, or the equivalent by ELF, a European oil. Castrol also makes a qualifying oil, but usually it is sold only at European dealerships. If you buy this car, read the owner's manual for the exact specificaion of the required oil. Never go to quick lubes unless they can provide you with information about their product that meets the spec's listed in your manual. Most bulk oils sold at quicky lubes are not fit for use in ANY car!!
    No. You won't need special oil for it or anything like that.

    Land rover has been owned by ford for many years, parts supply is no worries. I'm also sure that you could find a non franchised land rover garage alot closer than that.

    Why does my dash lights on my land rover freelander keep coming on The abs and others they all come on som?

    someone said its a common fault but did not say what the cause was thanks marionWhy does my dash lights on my land rover freelander keep coming on The abs and others they all come on som?
    It sounds to me as if you have a short somewhere if they come on with out being switched on. Get it checked out or you may end up with a flat battery when you least need it.Why does my dash lights on my land rover freelander keep coming on The abs and others they all come on som?
    a warning to check fix repair common reason they come on something bad needs repair

    so what have you check to see if is bad



    brakes maybe?

    battery alternator

    fluids



    most of time they are a warningWhy does my dash lights on my land rover freelander keep coming on The abs and others they all come on som?
    It is indeed a common problem, it's normally caused by a faulty ABS sensor.

    How much, around, should it be to rebuild the engine of a 96' Land rover discover?

    it would be really spendy, I would try locating a used motor, with low miles, and have a certified land mech put it in. Is it the 4.0 v8 and did the head gasket go? If so just rebuild the heads, and replace the gaskets, and go through the top end, as long as the crank and pistons are good, you can save money that way as well. The whole motor, to rebuild, is cheaper to find a used engine.How much, around, should it be to rebuild the engine of a 96' Land rover discover?
    Depends on whether your crank and pistons are still good. I just spent $325 on a rebuild kit from carquest for a '91 Chevy 350. Rings, bearings, gaskets, etc. Turns out we needed to get the cylinders boared (sp?) and replace the pistons. Ended up being $550 by the end. We did the work ourselves. The cheapest replacement engine we found was $500 and it needed to be rebuilt anyway so in the long run it was cheaper to rebuild the damn thing. Carquest was cheapest. Try them.

    because we all know the jag is a dressed up ford mondeo and the new land rovers are rubbishWhy is Land Rover Jaguar losing a million quid a day,When Land Rover?
    Because they can't get people to the dealer. They have had the same problem for many years now, and without the charity of BMW and Ford, they would be dead already.



    The problem is bad marketing.



    Just speaking of America, 80 percent of people out there have little to no knowledge of the brand at all. A further 10 percent believes the cars to be of poor quality, and this 10 percent is quite vocal. Still another 5 percent, with some crossover into the rest, believe them to be made by Toyota.



    The remaining 5 percent of the US population represents everyone Land Rover could sell a car to in a perfect world.



    That 5 percent needs to be more like 10 percent, or even 15-20, in order for Land Rover to survive comfortably. Either that, or they have to raise their prices, which wouldn't be good for them.



    How do you increase your customer base when the reducing factor is ignorance?



    Good, solid marketing.



    Lend Rover doesn't have any.



    If we applied the same situation to, say, Ford, here would be our situation:



    Most people would believe that Ford and Taurus were different manufacturers. Most people would believe that Ford was Japanese and Taurus was German. Quite a few people, who couldn't even point one out in a parking lot, would believe they were total junk. A good percentage of the remaining people would have no idea Ford even exists. When questioned about them, the people would reply: Hey, I saw those on the history channel. Aren't those the cars that only come in black?



    That's the problem.



    Land Rover has the worst marketing in the entire automotive industry. Adult diaper companies have better marketing than Land Rover.



    It is an easy problem to fix, but nobody seems willing to admit it is a problem. Once they have a customer in the dealership, they have no trouble selling them a vehicle.



    The trouble is, they can't even get people to realize there is a dealership to go to, let alone get them in there.



    Jaguar has the same issues.



    There have been good campaigns, but they were far too short-lived to help either company.



    Marketing is the answer to all their troubles. You can build all the cars you want, but until you can sell them, it's pointless.

    Got a viberation problem on the front end of my land rover 300tdi could do with help on wot is it?

    Oldcalcutta has the high probability answer - especially if you off road in rocky areas. It could also be a bent wheel, a thrown wheel weight (I use to have this happen all the time on my Cherokee with alloy wheels but never on my Sammi with steel wheels), debris stuck in the wheel (ice, snow, mud, a rock even) (an ice clot scared the heck out of me in the Sammi once), or a bad shock.



    I've seen weird problems with trac control that would pulse one wheel so I guess antilock brakes could do the same thing. We found the trac problem when the tire showed wear.
    sounds likea busted belt in a tire....get em checked out!!!!!Got a viberation problem on the front end of my land rover 300tdi could do with help on wot is it?
    have your front suspension checked, could be ball joint,tires out of balance or alignment
    bet it is front prop u/j shot bearings.Got a viberation problem on the front end of my land rover 300tdi could do with help on wot is it?
    it could be your tires, it could also be the idler arm or balljoints, or some part of the steering components.
    If it wobbles very bad even when starting to move at parking-lot speeds, that might be serious. Usually that means that the tire is coming apart and has gotten "lumpy", and should be replaced IMMEDIATELY before it blows.

    Land rover starting prob plus alarm issue?

    Hi



    I have a TD5 Land Rover Discovery in the cold weather the car has failed to start on a few occasions but every now and again it starts no problem, plus the alarm has been playing up also, going off on its own now and again.



    I thought Glow Plugs, Battery tested to be ok, shorting alarm. battery earth shorting, maybe not starting cos of the immobiliser...



    greatful of any commentsLand rover starting prob plus alarm issue?
    Most likely the battery struggling in the cold weather and will fail totally soonLand rover starting prob plus alarm issue?
    key fob is spentLand rover starting prob plus alarm issue?
    You say it starts now and again, on the times it doesn't start does it turn over, does the "ignition" light come on? Edit your question %26amp; give us a few more details please. Battery is most likely as they can test to be OK however they will lack the oomph needed to start the engine on a cold day.

    2000 Dodge Durango OR 2000 Land Rover Disovery Series II?

    I'm a single mom of 4 kids, looking for a used 7 passenger vehicle that is not a van. I have driven both and love the discovery, but i also like the durango, however durangos are everywhere! Both used vehicles have about 90,000K on them but are in my current price range. I know their gas milage is similar. Anyone out there that has owned one or the other or better yet both? I have heard Land rovers are great and that they are crap - who knows the truth? I have driven 3 Discoverys from 1997 - 2002 and for some reason i just absolutely loved each of them - not sure why. Any constructive opinions appreciated!2000 Dodge Durango OR 2000 Land Rover Disovery Series II?
    My choice would be Land Rover. Dodge Durangos are so common, plus their styling has something to be desired. Land Rover does have a bit of prestige that the Durango does not have. I haven't owned either but I have known 2 people that have owned Land Rover and 1 person that owned a Durango. The Land Rover owners absolutely love theirs and the Durango owner seemed to just like it and what I mean is that the Durango owner didn't rave over his vehicle like the Land Rover owners did. It will be your vehicle and it will be your choice, so get either because both will make for nice vehicles but the Land Rover is a step above the Durango. Good Luck and happy motoring!2000 Dodge Durango OR 2000 Land Rover Disovery Series II?
    Well, a guy I used to work with had a Dodge Durango. He was spending about $300 a month in GAS, that's $75 a week. That's horrible. I pay a little more than that for a car payment. :P



    I know you want something used, but I would seriously go to a Hyundai dealership and check out their Santa Fe's. I'm sure you could get the older body style 2006 model for a good price.



    The new style Santa Fe, you can buy a third row to seat 7 people.



    Anyway, these are really nice cars and you get a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty and they have GREAT resale value.



    I have a Hyundai Tucson which is their smaller sized SUV. It is an awesome little car. I love it!2000 Dodge Durango OR 2000 Land Rover Disovery Series II?
    Both crap - and you must be drunk - sober up and buy a Toyota!!
    I own a 2003 Land Rover Discovery Series II and I love it. The maintenance will cost more, and at the mileage you are describing it will come sooner rather than later. When I hear Durangoes that are a few years old the engine sounds rougher to me. You say you love the Discovery...then that's your answer! :-) Good luck!

    this delima is mostly an issue of taste. Me personally I would go with the Land Rover. They have a much longer history with this type of SUV.
    land rover.. more rare.. plus they're like sex on wheels
    The land rover looks nicer and feels more solid. The navigator is a more comfortable ride
    2000 lincoln navigator
    Most def, the lincoln navigator...
    Have to go with Land Rover. The Nav. is just a fancy ford
    navi .land rover's are thought of as cool among a very small group of people.The rest of the population thinks it's the ugliest suv on the road.
    Go for the lincoln the Land Rovers have too many problems.
    definetely the navigator, its way more luxurious and has a way better name. i heard land rovers and range rovers are having alot of problems with their vehicles right now.
    Land Rover because it was the original SUV before SUVs were cool (even though they've gotten fluffier since SUVs became cool). Navigators are just a big ostentatious excuse for the rich to pretend they're cool.
    First, let's clear up a few things.



    Land Rover is owned by Ford Motor Co. go to ford.com and youll see for yourself.



    Lincoln, is also owned by Ford, as you would know if alive for the Informational Age.



    The older Land Rovers have a bad reputation of vibrating for 50 feet after hitting a bump. But They have some of the best off roading capabilities. The Navigatior is huge and not fuel efficient. But if you equip it correctly, it is very Luxurious, (compares with the Escalade).



    I am neutral, but if I got a brand new Land Rover, I would take it. If it was made before 2001, it is definetely a Navigator
    If you are looking to buy either i would buy the one with the nearest new car dealer to your home. why you ask?

    Because you will spend most of your free time in their service department!

  • Does ayone have the radio code for a 1994 land rover discovery?

    I lost my manual and i cant seem to find the code can anyone help.Does ayone have the radio code for a 1994 land rover discovery?
    The dealer will provide you the code, usually free of charge. They keep a database for this very reason. If they can't get you the code, they will likely get it working for a nominal fee.



    Land Rovers drop the code sometimes when the battery is discharged for a long period of time. The dealers are prepared for this, so give the nearest one a call.



    When you show up, you can expect to need identification, your license, registration, and insurance card. It may also be a good idea to bring the title along. You just don't want to drive all the way out there and not have something. You will have to show them that you own the car, so ask on the phone what you will need beforehand.



    They deal with this alot, so don't worry. Rover dealers are nice places. Many have free drinks and snacks available, as well as internet, television, and other ways to keep yourself occupied. Some even have free cigars, coffee, and other niceties available. So, no need to worry about a ride back. A Rover dealer can keep you entertained for hours, and you may even learn about a dealer off road trip coming up, or another get together they frequently host.Does ayone have the radio code for a 1994 land rover discovery?

    Can you install a remote starter in a 2002 land rover freelander?

    Sure you canCan you install a remote starter in a 2002 land rover freelander?
    Yes. I would suggest checking out one of your local car audio stores. They usually do remote starter installations as well, and most of the time they do an excellent job.

    Basically any car can have a remote starter installed, even manual transmission cars.

    I am bugging my mom to buy it for me for a high school grad present, because I think it looks incredible, I want an suv, and it is more affordable than a range rover/sport. I'd like some educated opinions on it, perhaps the 2006 model. ThanksWhat do you think of the Land Rover LR3?
    Great when it is going, but by a large margin the most unreliable car I have ever owned. Off the road for 10% of each of the 3 years I had it with a huge rannge of troubles. Avoid like the plague. Or you will regret it. This is the result of all the independent tests too. The UK consumer association show that the majority of owners woudl not reccomend one to a friend.

    Only people I woudl reccomend one to is if I was selling mine again.

    No land rovers ever again ever..What do you think of the Land Rover LR3?
    I don't like it. I looked at one. It has a side-opening tailgate which is STUPID. Also being a Rover, it is unreliable. Thirdly, if you HAVE to get a Rover, get a real Range Rover, otherwise it's like going to a steakhouse and ordering chicken.

    Any ideas why my Land Rover Discovery doesn't start sometimes?

    It does this unexpectedly maybe once a month, both when it hasn't been driven and when it has recently been driven. You can turn the key and the power works but nothing happens. Then if you wait like 5 minutes, it'll start. Any ideas how I can diagnose and fix this myself...Any ideas why my Land Rover Discovery doesn't start sometimes?
    The discovery has a main ground cable problem that is quite simple to repair. The connection in question is on the right frame rail inside the wheel well, behind the body mount. Remove the cable from the frame and polish the end with sandpaper then reinstall. There are 3 other possibilities. Battery terminals, solenoid or the safety neutral switch. Disconnect and clean the battery terminals when you do the frame ground.If this doesn't do the trick, next time it happens, shift the trans. in neutral from park and try starting it. If it cranks, it's the switch. Another test is to connect a test light to the small wire on the starter solenoid and turn the key during a no-crank moment. If the tester lights up, it's the starter solenoid.Any ideas why my Land Rover Discovery doesn't start sometimes?
    have a mechanic check the alternator belt it may need to be tightened.Any ideas why my Land Rover Discovery doesn't start sometimes?
    There are a few things in the starting circuits of the Disco

    Such as starter relay, ignition switch, if it is automatic then inhibitor switch, starter solenoid (built into starter motor) and lastly wireing connections.

    Any of these could be at fault. If it is automatic try putting it in and out of park , this will move the inhibitor switch. If this works you will need to replace this switch.

    The starter relay is not that expensive. It may be worth replacing this to see if it solves the problem.

    My personal feeling is that the starter motor is starting to wear out and it may well be time for an overhaul or replacement. This could work out expensive so get it checked out before going down this route.

    Sorry I have no definite answer for you.

    Best of luck.
    sounds like you got a bad connection some wheres.check the earth strap from chassis to engine.also check connections on igniton switch. another thing to look at is the battery terminals .remove them.clean the battery terminals with emery cloth.replace them to their correct positions and tighten them good.it could be a faulty starter relay.swap it out and try it.

    Hopefully it will not be your first car. Your first car isn't supposed to give you nightmares for the rest of your life. I could go on about the lack of quality in these vehicles but I won't. I'll say this: You're buying used. It's going to be cheap and have high mileage. Look up the part costs for land rovers. Now take the purchase price (should be around 6k in most areas) and multiply times .5 (50%) that's the repair that you'll pay in the first year and a half (maybe sooner). The real cost of buying the car is 9k. If you can't afford that additional 3k now and don't save cash for that period it's just going to sit in your driveway and you'll be at home watching reruns of judge judy.



    Buy a honda or toyota 4 cylinder (or acura). They ain't sexy but it won't leave you stranded and they're cheap and easy to fix.

    if petrol make sure head gasket %26amp; the plastic dowels have been changed to metal otherwise it goes bing bang boomDoes anyone have a land rover freelander?
    the other answers are correct for the petrol engine they usually have cylinder head gasket problems around 60k.

    its one of those vehicles which always fairs very bad in the jd power type surveys for reliability,another problem [design fault]was heating and ventilation you could never stop the inside from misting up unless you have air/con on.
    I work at a motor factors and we sell loads of headgasket sets and head bolts for the rover K series engine.

    It will need changing at some point.

    Are Land Rover parts just as expensive as Mercedes parts?

    I own a benz and I realize that repair costs are extensive, but I was wondering if it's just as much as Land Rover? I'm interested in the Land Rover Freelander, does anyone know anything about this car?Are Land Rover parts just as expensive as Mercedes parts?
    There about the same price.Are Land Rover parts just as expensive as Mercedes parts?
    yeah i know someone who had a landrover and the parts where expensive...how about the nissan muranoAre Land Rover parts just as expensive as Mercedes parts?
    I would tend to believe that since there are fewer Land Rovers, their parts would be more expensive, especially if it is all wheel, or 4 wheel drive.

    The other answer is completely wrong.



    Yes, that is within the vehicles towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is 7700 pounds in low range. High range is considerably lower, but it has more to do with the speeds you are traveling at and braking performance in emergencies. Regardless, you are within spec either way. Consider, though, that the DII isn't the fastest towing vehicle in the world, so don't expect much.



    They can move just about anything, but they aren't going anywhere in a hurry when doing it. You will know that trailer is back there. Drive carefully, and load the weight evenly. The short wheelbase of the DII combined with the long tail can lead to lively towing.What is a 2000 Land Rover Discovery 2's tow capacity?
    Maximum Towing Capacity: 1650 lbs

    Maximum Payload: 1488 lbs

  • Is there such thing as a stick shift/manual Land Rover?

    My dad will only buy me a manual car for my first car, and I am looking into Land Rovers as a possibility. Also, if they uuuused to be available, what year did they stop producing them?Is there such thing as a stick shift/manual Land Rover?
    Most older Land Rovers are standard transmission. Buy something per 1990's and they almost all were. They are still easily repaired and parts available. One thing to consider though, a Land Rover is the best built SUV on the road and do not break down with anywhere near the frequency of any other vehicle on the road, but when they do, the parts are very expensive, but do last for years longer than any competition would be able to match. The body is aluminum, so rust out is not normal either. Good Luck!Is there such thing as a stick shift/manual Land Rover?

    No, but you could fit a 300 series Discovery R380 gearbox %26amp; transfer unit. It's a lot of work, as the S3 tunnel is narrow. I'm afraid bloody awful %26amp; crap gearboxes are part %26amp; parcel of Land Rover ownership.

Its pretty easy I did a couple.How much does it cost to replace a oil pump on a 2000 land rover??
    Call the repair shops. They can look it up in the repair manual for the time it takes. Then it is timed by the shop hourly rate plug amount for shop supply. You need to get this in writing. It will be good for 30 days. There is alot of work to do this job. I would get it from several shops. The lowest is not always the best bet.How much does it cost to replace a oil pump on a 2000 land rover??
    how do you know its the pump? well it would be about 3 hours labor shop rates range from 50 to 80 a hour.. make shure its the pump. you can get fooled into thinking that .example you think you have no pressre.. well the engine would sound like jingle bells. put your hand on the oil filter to see if its hot.. ok good luck.

  • Why is the AC not working right in my Land Rover Freelander?

    Most of the time it blows, but not cold. and very, very rarely it works fine. and some other times the compressor keeps goin on and off so it blows cold for a few seconds then hot, then cold, then hot again. I know there's freon in it cuz as I said it blows cold sometimes. so what's the deal?Why is the AC not working right in my Land Rover Freelander?
    you really need to hook up gauges to determine what the problem is here.

    best guess without knowing system pressures would be a faulty low side pressure switch or wiring to the switch. this switch will cause the compressor to cycle as in "the compressor keeps goin on and off".

    and not cycle on when "it blows, but not cold".

    get at least a gauge for the low side and add readings for more info.
    low on freon or it could be th a/c cycling switch. it tells the compressor to engage.Why is the AC not working right in my Land Rover Freelander?
    ONE POSSIBLE REASONS THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED OUT AND HE GAS REPLACED

    IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM FOR A LENGTH OF TIME THE SEALS DRY OUT AND THE GAS ESCAPES

    THEN YOU GET THE ON OFF SYNDROME
    low freon or high or low pressure swich is going to be your problem if it low on freon you have a leak and will have to find it first. you can find the high and low pressure switches under the hood . if thats not the problem then check the doors on the inside of the ac fresher air or out vent open at times this could a vacumn problem or some of these vehicles have electric accuated doors one of them could be bad.Why is the AC not working right in my Land Rover Freelander?
    HAVE A TRUSTED INDEPENDENT A/C REPAIR SHOP FIRST CHECK IF YOU EVEN HAVE FREON IN THE SYSTEM AND ONCE THAT IS DETERMINED THEY CAN PERFORM A COMPLETE A/C SYSTEM LEAK CHECK.



    BUT I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE IT BLOWS COLD AND THEN HOT, IT COULD HAVE VERY HIGH PRESSURE, OR THE COOLING FAN IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.



    IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT THE PRESSURES ARE PERFECT AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING CORRECTLY THEN IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INTERNAL.
    Did it just start acting this way after winter? I'm thinking the switch may be boogered up.

  • Are Land Rovers REALLY that capable off road? Do they really carry the name "land rover" well?

    I know for a fact that the Land Rover Defender gets down and dirty anytime, anywhere I've seen that one perform off road and I was not disappointed. But about the Disco I and II and my personal favorite the Range Rover (4.6 HSE to be exact), are they as capable off road?? Or have they progressively lost their off road heritage due to market demand. Opinions?? Videos?? Fact?? Assumptions??

    ThanksAre Land Rovers REALLY that capable off road? Do they really carry the name "land rover" well?
    They are good off-road. Even the current models are fine.



    The BBC Top Gear programme pitted the current Range Rover Sport against the British Army's Challenger II tank off-road and it didn't disappont. They also drove the current Disco to the top of a Scottish mountain.



    They may have the look and feel of a modern SUV in order to appeal to that market, but these are still very capable off-road cars.
    They used to be. But that was because they had a much heavier, more robust 4 wheel drive system. Now they've had the 4X4 capability "civilized" out of them, now they're just another overpriced luxury SUV. It's tragic; they used to be sooo good.Are Land Rovers REALLY that capable off road?

    Our Land Rover Discovery is heavy on petrol but we don't know if converting to LPG is a good idea. Could anyone give me some facts about 4X4's and LPGWould you convert a 2003 Land Rover Discovery V8 to LPG?
    Yes.Would you convert a 2003 Land Rover Discovery V8 to LPG?
    First is LPG for vehicles readily available in your area? If not no.The storage tanks for LPG tend to be quite bulky and where would you put them without cramping interior room. Gas tanks can be molded into almost any shape, the same is not true for LPG. The conversion costs are also quite high, and this is not a job for first timers.The reason your Rover is heavy on petrol is because it weighs over two tons and has a large engine. It has the aerodynamics of a barn. The answer is no. Would you convert a 2003 Land Rover Discovery V8 to LPG?
    Oh how we love you, towing your horses around the countryside at 20MPH!!



    Seriously tho..if your mileage is high and you are keeping the vehicle for a few years then YES..I would do it. Especially to one of these types of vehicles due to its already low MPG.

I have got the Haynes manual but the wiring digrams are not very clear. The one with the alternator shows an earth and 2 other wires, are these both live?

Thanks very much.Land rover series 2 1961 alternator dynamo?
    Ok this is my apprentice days all over again.Last bit first.The heater plug resistor is or should be on the bulkhead under the bonnet roughly central,and has a coiled wire appearance. Secondly,many dynamos were changed to alternator and sometimes left a redundant wire HAVE you connected this thinking its fallen off Second,when you know the battery is charged Park up but pull off the alt wires If it starts next day ok you know the alternator has got a fault If this is not the case,with battery charged,remove the battery earth lead and touch the terminal on and off Are you gettin g sparks IF YOU ARE disconnect things one by one on an elimination basis until hopefully you have solved the problem A common thing with older faithfulls is Has it got a tow bar wiring socket.These tend to corrode and short circuit One last thing is the resistor gets weak and bangs to much power to the glow plugs and burns them out The LR system is one glow plug down there all down.Series or parallel Hope its been of some use and i did all the land rover courses series iia on When i had my own garage i specialised in rover triumph freight rover and land rover Hope your lucky gLand rover series 2 1961 alternator dynamo?

  • Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?

    ...or can i just buy a hose from napa that is the same diameter and is automotive grade material.Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
    You need to buy the radiator hose made for your vehicle. Most have bends and twists that will not tolerate replacement with generic hose. You can buy a replacement hose at an auto parts store you should not have to spend the money on a dealer part. Good luck!!!
    s long as there is no bends in it and you don't kink It you'll be fineDo i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
    Napa should have the same hose as the dealer, as long as the vehicle is not to new. It has to be so old before the manufacturer will release the parts to the other retailers. But the should have it in stock. They will let you know if they do or not.
    napa is fine see if you can get numbers off the hose and they can cross reference it for you.Do i have to buy the stock upper radiator hose for my land rover?
    No. you can buy one aftermarket...Does not have to be OEM
    if does not have wired bends it should be ok to buy a high pressure hose same inside diameter from home depot or lowes....( is much cheaper, they sell it by foot, you will have left over just in case it bust outs ( I put one on my semi truck, i needed 1 inch and 1/4, i found only 1 inch one, was a hell to put it back.... even thou was eated by the alternator belt a little, it is just fine.... will coast u a dollar. but make sure is it high pressure hose, that has inserts in it....

    Ps:if it does have bends.... and u have no other option u might as well get a longer high heat pressure hose than the normal one...put a spring inside for the lenght of the hose (if smaller might be of, but u must have the spring where it bends..Find a stainless steel spring that will not corode....It should work....but if the nends are to tight....get an aftermarket coolant hose, or from napa, or from dealer.....
    Napa will probably have an exact fit. Many are longer than stock just align the curves then cut off the ends.

    Your Friend,

    poppy1How do I get my land rover to pass smog?
    Get the code read and post the code and ask how to fix it. Along with year and engine sizeHow do I get my land rover to pass smog?
    There is a fault code associated with the check engine light. Need that code to help you. However, bad oxygen sensors are at the top of the list for why a car fails emissions or bad 3 way catalyst (cat).
    Drive by any good parts store and they will read your code for free. After you have the code identified (which will probably be oxygen sensor) replace faulty part have codes cleared and make sure you run your vehicle at highway speeds to clear out the exhaust before having your emissions test.

    Is it really necessary to put top grade gasoline into a land rover?

    gas is getting really expensive will low grade gas in this type of car hurt my engine?Is it really necessary to put top grade gasoline into a land rover?
    The octane rating (91, 89, 87.....) has to do with certain chemicals they put into the gas. Usually with finely tuned engines require the higher octane # because lower octane fuel combusts before it is supposed to, a.k.a "KNOCKING". If you use the lower octane and try to accelerate hard. The engine will make a KNOCKING sound, if this happens to much you will burn up the engine and have to have it rebuilt. You might get away with going down one grade if you don't start off like your at a drag strip but it's just best to stick with what the manual says to use.
    What year?



    Just make a test. Next time the tank is on E, put 5 gallons of Plus (89 octane) in there and see how it runs.



    Otherwise, being that it is a V8, it probably does need premium (91 octone), but you may be able to get away with plus.Is it really necessary to put top grade gasoline into a land rover?
    If you have a Land Rover with a V8 engine ( no, not the juice drink ) chances are it is a high compression engine therefore it will run better on a higher octane rating, say 91 or above. Usually if you treat the engine with a low octane rating, you will hear your valves tapping as a result of poor combustion. Hope this helps.
    it all depends

    if it does NOT have a distributer then yes you have to

    if it DOES have a distributer then no you can just adjust the timing a little, you'll get a little less performance if you use lower grade but who takes a land rover off road anyway.Is it really necessary to put top grade gasoline into a land rover?
    It's necessary to read the owners manual and put in what it says. That noise you hear when the octane is too low is parts of your engine hitting other parts of your engine.

    Going to buy a 1998 Land Rover Discovery is it a good idea ?

    I know it has a V8 and gass is not my concern but like people tell me they are expensive if they brake down but isnt any other car like it my uncle has a Chevy tahoe and his spark plugs come up 8$ each and for the rover came up 7$ each



    I dont know from current or previous Land Rover owners was it worth it ?Going to buy a 1998 Land Rover Discovery is it a good idea ?
    High end foreign cars are hard to get parts for when the break down. Spark plugs are not made specifically for one vehicle, so judging how expensive parts are by spark plugs is not going to show how hard it is to get parts for a foreign car. Parts for Chevys are easier to find because they are american made, there are lots of used motors and transmissions in junk yards you can get cheap. How many land Rovers are you going to find in junk yards? Not many, because Land Rovers are not common cars. Anything that is 11 years old is going to have problems and a ton of miles.
    they was real good vehicles when they was new or under 140 thousand miles but after that they start to get expensive to repair,a friend of mine bought a used one to drive back and forth to work and it had about 150 k on it and the transmission went out,they wanted around 3500.00 bucks for a rebuilt transmission for it and that's more than he paid for the vehicle,so have it checked out really good because they are really expensive to repair,good luck.Going to buy a 1998 Land Rover Discovery is it a good idea ?
    Don't do it!!!! Sorry, they are expensive when they break down, and in my experiance they break down more often than they are worth. Try for a Mitsubishi motero or Isuzu trooper, they can look similar and are a little more less expensive to own.
    stay away - there are many parts that are expensive and special order.Going to buy a 1998 Land Rover Discovery is it a good idea ?

    you can try disconnecting your battery and see if the light resets or go to a parts store and have it cleared/scanned

    Why did Land Rover get rid of their original SUV design? ?

    I have been a Jeep owner for awhile, and wanted to get something tough but a little more classy. Naturally, my best option was to get a Land Rover (or Range Rover).... until I realized they only sell family type SUVs. Is Land Rover going to market a fun retro style SUV like Jeep? Seriously, I feel like these could compete with Jeep Wranglers in the United States. Why did Land Rover get rid of their original SUV design? ?
    because noone was buying them. their 'defender' series was the bomb. it'd crush a wrangler or a hummer off road, but they were pricey and no more comfortable than an older wrangler, so noone bought them.Why did Land Rover get rid of their original SUV design? ?
    The real reason other than price for Landrover not exporting the Defender, was safety and emissions standards. The Defender had a tough go meeting DOT safety and emissions. It's too bad, I am longing to see the Defender come back to the US with a Diesel and a 5 speed. I am getting tempted to export an older one...Why did Land Rover get rid of their original SUV design? ?
    I'd dispute the second answer: The European crash testing %26amp; emission standards are far higher than in the US - In America, SUV's do not need to pass the crash tests that passenger cars do.

    Land Rover Defenders now use the Ford 2.4 diesel engine %26amp; six speed gearbox, which meet Euro-IV emissions standards. They are good off road, but they are poorly made %26amp; pretty unreliable, but they are far superior to Jeep vehicles, which are sold in the UK.

    If you're after a proper, well built off road vehicle, then Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land Cruiser are generally accepted to be the best - next time you see a news report from a war zone, you'll see one of these. The UN don't want vehicles that break down.

    How to fix 03 land rover discovery lifter knock?

    Firstly, are you sure its the lifter/cam? It might be the rocker arms. Sound very similar. You can fix those by popping off the valve covers and cleaning the rocker shafts. Also, at the same time check if the lifters wiggle at all if you move them. If they do, tighten the rocker arms and see if the noise goes away. Doesn't need much -a half turn at a time, then start the engine to see if the noise diminishes.



    If it is the lifter, you're in for a big job-you really need to replace them AND the cam - new lifters and dodgy old cam will kill those new lifters before you can say 'I wonder whether i should have replaced the cam at the same time'. I speak fom bitter experience.How to fix 03 land rover discovery lifter knock?
    Buy a Haynes manual and adjust them with the correct gap using a feeler gauge. Take tappet cover off, undo locking screw and adjust nut to the correct gap.



    Not sure if yours is diesel or not but:

    Asking price for Navigator and Land Rover?

    I've been trying to sell my 1999 Lincoln Navigator and my 1996 Land Rover Discovery for months now!! I know the auto market took a dip, but come on!! I listed my Navigator, with only 86,000miles, for $12,000 and the Rover, with 144,000 miles, for $4,000. They're beautiful suvs, what gives??



    Anyone have an idea what I SHOULD be asking?Asking price for Navigator and Land Rover?
    You are definately high on the navigator, a 4x4 navigator in this market and the way the gas is should be no more than 10-11k.



    The Rover, as long as it's a nice model should have no problem fetching that kind of money.

    How old do you have to be to drive a Land Rover Defender?

    I'm 17 and want to learn to drive. There's 12 seats with seat belts but it can be made to take only 5 by removing back benches. It's not a minibus but not a car. Not a lorry either. So if we took seats out it would be fine surely? Don't want to break the law...How old do you have to be to drive a Land Rover Defender?
    Age doesnt matter with a land rover as everyone else says, the classification means you only need a standard driving liscense and no special training.



    The only thing you should be concerned about is the cost of insuring yourself on a land rover. At such a young age and driving what I presume is a 110 from your description, with only basic driving skills i wouldnt be suprised if your insurance goes past 拢1500.



    I lived on a farm till I went to university, and frequently drove off-road with a local club. Aswell as that I took skid pan lessons at a local race course. Even with all that the insurance for my first (and only) car, a 1997 land rover defender 90 300tdi with just 3 seats up front was a little under 拢800.



    But if you like the car and know how to look after it, go for it. A landy can last you a lifetime and save you money long term. I do all my own repairs to it which saves alot in garage bills and I am currently converting it to biodiesel which will save even more.
    Hello



    17 It's a Car Group B

    But you can have. no more than 8 passenger seats.



    Check insurance as less passenger seats may be cheaper to insure





    Andy CHow old do you have to be to drive a Land Rover Defender?
    Many defenders don't have that many seats and they are all less than 3500kg so it is classified as category B (a car) so 17.



    But yeas you would have to take the extra seats out to leave only 8
    Any age but you have had to have your brain removed and beaten to a mush to want to drive a bag of crap like thatHow old do you have to be to drive a Land Rover Defender?
    As long as you have a licence and can get insured on it, then it shouldnt matter how old you are.

  • Whats a better car then a land rover?

    i really do want one i think people put them down all the time but i dnt think they are that bad. i like the look the size and the space. i mean there are oother vehicles with v8's are they bad too. i need an suv and a land rover is it. who has one?Whats a better car then a land rover?
    Beautiful vehicles inside and out. Yet, they are a total waste of money.



    The problem is that they are a reliability nightmare and are very expensive to fix and maintain.

    Normally, Land Rovers are limited to people that make at least $100K per year because, frankly, noone else can afford to make payments and keep up with the maintenance/repairs.



    Why not consider something like the Honda Pilot EX? It is about half the price of a Land Rover, looks really nice and is a lot less expensive to maintain.Whats a better car then a land rover?
    Just about ALL cars are better than LandRover, which was rated the least reliable car in the world by J.D. power %26amp; Associates almost every year, including 2008.Whats a better car then a land rover?
    toyota 4 runner, fj cruiser, and the sequoia.....roomy, reliable, easy to maintain....

    How do i connect a head unit to my 1976 land rover?

    There are postive and negative binding posts on the dashboard.How do i connect a head unit to my 1976 land rover?
    connect the yellow wire of the head unit to +ve wire and black wire of the head unit to -ve.



    and the most important red wire to the ignition wire.

    without connecting red wire the head unit won't work.



    good luckHow do i connect a head unit to my 1976 land rover?

    Check Engine light on after new tires installed on '97 land rover discovery?

    I had new tires put on, and as i was driving off, the check engine light came on. any idea if the two could be related?Check Engine light on after new tires installed on '97 land rover discovery?
    i doubt it

    in some cases really shady tire shops that also do light mechanical repairs will sabotage things like sensors to trigger a check engine light in the hope that you will come back and pay them to fix

    a lot of tire shops that do other repairs also pay their guys a certain percentage of parts and labour so u can c why thats an issueCheck Engine light on after new tires installed on '97 land rover discovery?
    The only light that might be effected by chaining of the tires would the tire pressure monitor light, if so equipped if they damaged one of the sensors on the wheel. Changing tires would have no effect on a check engine light. Check Engine light on after new tires installed on '97 land rover discovery?

    How can i get rid of the check engine light on my 2000 land rover discovery seires 2?

    This is to tell you it need service. some times you can disconnect the battery for 5 min this will reset your computer.How can i get rid of the check engine light on my 2000 land rover discovery seires 2?
    Fix whatever is wrong with it.



    I really don't mean to sound like a smart-alack, but fixing it will make the light go out.How can i get rid of the check engine light on my 2000 land rover discovery seires 2?
    Take it to a automotive repair facility and have them "read" the code this will get you going in the right direction on finding out why the light is on in the first place. The OBD2 system (on board diagnostics 2) that you have in your truck is designed to activate that light when it detects a problem with your emissions control equipment which includes sensors that monitor actual emissions, fuel management, and emissions reduction controls to name a few things. It is in your best interest to get it looked at as if you leave it be, it could develop into something more serious and expensive over time.How can i get rid of the check engine light on my 2000 land rover discovery seires 2?
    Check and close tightly the gas cap first and drive it to reset itself if indicator still on take it to a repair facility to read the code.

    How do i remove the starter on a 1999 Land Rover Discovery?

    There is a heat shaft or box around it. what tool do i use to remove the box?How do i remove the starter on a 1999 Land Rover Discovery?
    The heat shield is bolted to the engine mount bracket. You may have to remove the exhaust downtube to get it all apart. This is secured with three nuts to the exhaust manifold. I'm going to tell you a few things here, and pay attention.



    Get a look at it and see if you can weasel it out without disconnecting that exhaust tube. If it can be done, good on you, get to it. Likely as not, however, it is going to be a bear to accomplish.



    So, if that is the case...



    Order a set of exhaust studs for that side, as well as a set of replacement nuts. Also, order a new gasket for the mating surface. Order this from Atlantic British or the Rover dealer, do NOT get this stuff from the parts store.



    Then, go to the parts store and pick up a can of Liquid Wrench, and a can of Seafoam DeepCreep spray. You DO need these things.



    Determine what size the nuts on the exhaust flange are. There should be three of them. Make sure you have both a stubby and long box end wrench in that size. Make sure you have a ratchet, universal joint, and a couple of extensions that will fit in there, likely 3/8 inch drive. Make sure the socket you use is of good quality, and is a 6 point socket with one of the new surface drive designs.



    SOAK the hardware with the Seafoam, and let it sit for no less than 6 hours. Then, and only then, attempt to remove it. If it won't budge, don't force it. Hit it with a load of the liquid wrench, and let it sit overnight.



    The next day, come out and remove it.



    You will thank the tool gods if you have a Gearwrench in the proper size for this job. It is worth the 15 bucks or so.



    If you miss any of these points, you will destroy that hardware trying to remove it. Even if you do it all properly, you can still snap the studs off and round the nuts. That is why you MUST have them ahead of time. If it happens, you want to be ready to solve the problem that second, not in a week when the parts arrive.



    I can't remember what size the nuts are, so you will have to check. Likewise, I can't remember if the heat shield will come ff without removing the downtube, but the 250 dollar factory workshop manual I got from the dealer suggests it is required.



    If you find you do need to remove this downtube, follow ALL my suggestions. Do NOT try and save a buck and refrain from buying those studs and nuts. Even if you don't round the hardware, you need to replace it, so it doesn't fail in the future. Exhaust hardware should be considered disposable.



    Recycle it if you are feeling green.
