    Smile New Perentie owner

    Hi All,

    This is my first post as a Land Rover Perentie owner. Just picked one up in the November auctions. (I also have a Disco 3 V8).
    For those considering the Perentie and buying one through the auctions; I found the whole experience very straight forward and easy. I was able to inspect the vehicles ahead of the auctions dates, I even hopped in and started them in the yard. (Hooray for Keyless ignition)
    I picked mine up with an unregistered vehicle permit from QLD Transport and drove it home. Changed over the key ignition barrel and key and doorlocks my self. I had the Roadworthy done by a mobile service. They upload details on the spot and I received an email immediately with certificate and number. Got it registered and received the plates the next day.
    Everything works on the Perentie and it came with a full service history.

    I haven’t read all the post and threads as yet , but am interested in everyone’s experience and how they find the perentie. Pictured of the beast attached.

    Cheers,

    Gary

    Good luck with it mate, I am expecting my first Perentie to arrive on a truck tomorrow, bought sight unseen - very excited. I have had Landies forever, currently a 130 trayback and Disco 4.
    Cheers, Paul

    Thanks Silence, Good luck with yours too! hope all is well with yours when it arrives. Based on the service history of mine, they could have built 3-4 complete vehicles with everything that has been replaced and updated on it during its service life. Cheers, 88

    Thanks 87, Yes the grin seems to be permanent!! Thanks also for the info on repair manuals. I also downloaded all the relevant tech and spec pdf docs for these vehicles from the Australian Frontline Machinery website too, (free of charge) .
    My regular Land Rover servicing , (free plug for MR Automotive) will give her the once over later this month. Might also do the power steering conversion as well. My daughter on her ‘L’s’ also want to drive! Cheers, 88
