I recently bought a 1999 v8 D2 in VGC and the following are points to check -
The little plastic radiator/coolant hoses need replacing asap(not a reason not to buy it)
Is the Throttle body heater leaking
Does Sunroof leak?
Back door latch operates smoothly
Standard front prop/driveshaft double cardon joint. Is there slop or is it replaced with a greasable one?
Check all electrics(obvious but thought i`d say anyhow)
Have head gaskets been done or?
do the 3 amigos visit?
I`m still learning Landrovers after several Toyotas and I reckon if you love it, buy it and look after it, and it will(should) look after you!
Good luck


and about 240k on the clock. Is there any gremlins I should be looking for or aware of ?? We will be getting it checked by a mechanic ,but I thought I would give you all a shout first. Any info would be appreciated....Thanks
