Used Car for sale | RANGE ROVER, RANGE ROVER S 4.0 LITRE www.drive.com.au (http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/RANGE+ROVER/RANGE+ROVER/Perth/detail.aspx?id=14042436&lid=14042436&pg=1&pp=1&d=0&SG=-1666112429&pt=1)

looks like its coil sprung and base model so no leather :(
its on lpg though

a TAFE teacher of mine bought one identical to the one listed and he paid 9k i believe but it came with air susp, so 10 k seems pretty reasonable to me.

'98 will be GEMS.

Is the LPG system an injected or venturi system?

What tank installation - does it take up a lot of the boot? I'm having problems with viewing the pics to see.

[p38arover]

Ahh, just loaded the pics. It's a venturi system with a large tank in the boot.

Your boot space will be virtually useless - I had one like that.

Be aware that a venturi system can have backfires which will destroy your aircleaner box (see 4.0/4.6/P38A Air Box Replacement (http://www.rangerovers.net/rrupgrades/airbox/index.html) ) and possibly damage your MAF. Ask me how I know.

[Grumbles]

It looks nice and neat but....venturi = minus.....gas cylinder in boot = minus......coil spring conversion = minus.......$10k for all this combined with being an 'S' model = minus.

Sorry to be so negative but I think you can do better for 10 large.

[Junosi]

Agreed, should be able to do better for $10k. I paid $9k for my HSE in December with lots of value added things already on it. As for lpg, go the extra effort and get a well placed/sized tank with a SGI system.

Its too much for an SE. I would look for the HSE as it has a few more goodies. In general try too find the latest model you can afford.

[HangOver]

Thanks for the info, I would like a newer model but as theres nothing really wrong with my daily driver and I doubt I could afford a 2002 I'm in no hurry, I'll wait till the right one comes along.
I'm just a bit sick of driving my ford to work every day :(
My 81' RRC is too much of a petrol hungry beast for every day.

Paying for petrol is cheaper than buying a P38A!

Hang on for a 4.6 Thor, Late 99 on. There are plenty of nice ones about in Perth so you will get a deal sooner or Later. If you find one with Issues apart from engine knackered PM me as I might be able to point you towards cheap parts from the UK.

cool, thanks.
I'll keep and eye open.

In Sept last year, I paid 15K for a 2000 HSE with factory fresh paint (original too), 160 000kms, mint interior, bull bar (very pedestrian friendly) and light protectors. Oh, and brand new airbags! I got mine from Sydney which is 2500kms away from my house. I'd rather spend $400 on flights than the extra cash for the wrong car...

I rekon you should go for a HSE. They are generally more well looked after and the leather is a nice touch! There are a few for cheap on carsales.com.au too! But make sure it's a post 99 with the Bosch gear!
