does this mean us classic owners are being exiled?!?!?!:D;) our trucks may be old but we have feelings too you know!!!!:p

[pomonastik]

great, now we've got rid of all those white-shoe wearing rich ba$tards we won't have to put up with all their crap about how big a set of bling rims can be fitted to their glorified bmw's and fords. no more earnest discussion over whether 'one' can expect reliability from 'one's' $160,000 car or windscreen replacements costing more than my entire 'proper' range rover cost outright !

bring on the glorious day when the great electromagnetic pulse renders them all immobile and they have to beg a ride from US, the drivers of the original, the purest, the best. THE range rover

The home of the REAL Rangie, we're a dying breed these days, only 2 in the Bris LRO club now, 5 in the GCLRO :(:(:(.

Hey Trav, If you count the spares that we collectively have then the number increases dramatically:wasntme:

Good point :cool:

Now move your **** and put a couple together, make a few $$$ and keep the Rangie classics alive:banana::banana::banana:

This era separation is such a great idea. Now I can upgrade to that much desired [lusted after?]P38 at the click of a mouse rather than spending actual money.

All so true.... Just thinking I own all my cars, tractors, Trucks etc. Same reason I don't go out and buy new **** and finance them. I had a few have a go at me about my 89 RRC but my answer is the lease or finance is very low:D.

Cheers Tony

[dungarover]

Rangier Rover, I agree. I say to people who have a go at the fact I have an old dunga RRC that I own it and have no huge lease payments to make monthly like there fancy 4wd's. I Also mention the fact that you don't cry if you smash the door in (like I did on the dunga on it's second outing) and you puck up anothjer one for bugger-all and start again if you've had enough or kill the damn thing.

RRC's may need some TLC but it just makes you more aware of how your beast is acting or not playing the game, etc...

I hope that what you're all saying about the "real Rangie" are true. I just spent about five times what I could sell mine for, having it serviced and doing some items that have been on the "to do list" for ages.

Still rather have my RRc than spend heaps on buying a new one that may not be as reliable, and put the balance against my retirement.

Diana You like them or you hate them they say. I've never seen yours but I'd imagine it's in good shape and the 4.6 must be nice in it. I can't see a problem with spending more coin on it than current market value if it's a keeper.

As you say.... How much would it cost to replace it with a good P38+Runing repairs or a L32:eek: Then Gone is simplicity:(

They R the best Land Rover Built in my :DMind.:D

cheers:D

WEEE RR SPecial:D:D:D

[tarz37]

Having only recently acquired my RR, I am pleased that there is now a dedicated forum for classics like mine.
I am still in a learning curve with my rangie and am finding out things everday.
Questions that I would like to ask are-
What sort of economy should I get on gas? At present I am only getting approx 26lt / 100 km. Should I get it tuned or is this normal?
What sort of tyres do other RR owners use on their cars. I would be using mine 95% on roads and 5% on river tracks [sand and / or mud] no rocks?
As I have a auto with a viscous diff, how much difference in the rolling diameter of the tyres is allowed before heating might occur in the VC.?
Frank [clarkies old man]:confused::confused:

[tarz37]

OOPS I mean rolling circumference not diameter

SORRY

[Grumbles]

G’day Frank.
Tyres. I have been getting a great run out of Bridgestone 604V All Terrains. Bitumen [lots], mud and rocks – seem to do it all with out a hassle. Not been bogged yet and have been in some deep, gooey mud [diffs dragging on the ground]. Granted they’re not a dedicated mud runner but they do ok. And not one puncture. Every other tyre brand I’ve tried I’ve always managed to collect stone punctures but not these Bridgestones. Probably get more of the same next time around.

The trannie viscous coupling and tyres. I rotate tyres frequently so the problem of uneven wear never occurs. I also follow in principle the LR recommended tyre pressure variation from front to back. LR recommends 28PSI front and 38 psi at the rear. I opt for 32 front and 38 rear. Hope this helps. Cheers. Grumbles.
