Ditto the P38A Range Rover book by James (not full of errors but a number) - but so has my "How to Power Tune Rover V8s" book by Des Hamill.Quote:

However, both copies I have are first editions. Later editions may have fixed them.
That dealer is Discount 4x4's....the place I bought my Disco from.Quote:

I found a lot of problems with mine after I bought it and had it checked out.....things that should have failed a roadworthy.
After months aof trying to get them to fix things, I ended up doing it myself, as I wanted the car running.
Check the car very throughly if you buy from there.

EDIT - I also find it strange where he says "payload capacity was ONLY a tonne" - didn't the normal (one-ten pickup) have a capacity of 750kg? You had to buy a HCPU if you wanted more?
Matt - I agree about the chassis extension looking a bit dodgy. Seems more than strong enough though. Maybe yours looks worse if it is an early one.
Mine had power steering, three-bolt steering box.Quote:

Surprisingly enough they dont seem to want to answer my email about the rust in the vehicle. :angel:
Sound similar to the design/construction of Land Rovers over the years? :DQuote:
