For insurance, it's still valued by AAMI at $25K :o

Can't you organise someone to steal it? :)

Gawd! Don't say that! Can you imagine what would happen if it really was stolen and the insurance co. saw this. :o

Who'd steal a Rangie, well, a P38A? They are worth more in parts. :(

I think their immobilisation is pretty robust. Heck it works so well it even stops legitimate owners! :D

I forgot to say that there isn't a Jap (or any other country - excluding other Landies) 4WD on the market that holds a candle to the Rangie for style inside and out.

So Ron the big question which way are you leaning, do you think it's a keeper or are you going to get rid of it?

There's always someone to steal anything.

Couple of gits from down in the city drove all the way out to my farm with a car trailer to steal our beige Sigma paddock basher that I paid 2 slabs of beer for! No rear seats, bald tyres, covered in mud, unregistered, total piece of crap but someone stole it. Must have been after thr transmission or something.

I'm sick. I'm leaning to keeping it albeit with a rebuilt top-hatted block, new cam, internally balanced (unlike externally balanced as done by LR), sequential gas injection, and a UniChip.

Land Rover are lucky to have such a loyal and forgiving customer. Anyone else would have set fire to it long ago.

I make it costing you about 45c/km over the last 100,000. I'd think that was bad, except that's what I just worked out my Hyundai Getz (bought new) has cost over the first 18 months.

If the cost of ownership/km for a Range Rover and a cheap Korean runabout is the same, why not enjoy the Rangie?
