Hi, New addition to the family is forcing the sale of my beloved M3 convertible. Always fancied a Range Rover but don't know much about their quirks and foibles. Looking at purchasing 2002 / 3 vehicle - petrol which I will lpg convert, vogue - preferably supercharged but not essential..... What should I be looking out for? Was this a good year or should I try to hold out for something a year or 2 newer? Good engine - lpg issues - suspension issues - servicing issues / schedule?

Thank you so much - cheers!

Hello Martin,
I would try and find a converted car. Why pay for the conversion? Be sure it is certified.

I would steer clear of SC LPG conversion, very £££££££ and fairly frigile.
Hot heads and lack of lubrication.

Remember a Range Rover will be tempremental but a great pleasure comes from driving them.

Mine is currently weeping water so is booked in again for this to be rectified.
