This is exactly what I have done .... It sad but lately the RRC has been the only car I trust to start each morning I reckon mine needs bushes in the front end. reliability wise, I haven't had to touch a thing in it.... It's on a 90day permit. I'm very impressed with it's offroad capability too. (though I must admit I'm not into serious offroading at all).

So far the old Classic has been able to do everything and anything I've wanted it too .............................. other than drive past a petrol station

Having read through the threads here I think a classic with air suspension would be some fun to own too, there probably too young for use as club permit cars yet.......... Yes I'm insane, no doubt about it.

and in all reality, body swaps are too much stuffing around also

I know of a RRC that the current owner is thinking of selling. Not for sale yet, just thinking.
PM me if your still interested.

thanks anyway mick, but i'm slowly doing up the tdi disco now

Wise choice.

Guess who spoke too soon I learnt something new today ................... Old range rovers don't have any sort of warning to let you know the headlights are on ........ so lets say your dumb enough to turn the lights on as it's foggy...... and it's really sunny when you turn the car off at the destination

That's twice this week I'd had too ring my wife and ask her to come rescue me with the jumper leads You know, she is *really* not impressed with me LOL.

What an excuse to fit a dual battery system, its a built in jumper lead set if wired properly. All you need is a button on the dash to energise the connecting solenoid and you're away!
