show us your land rover
Discussion
I posted this in the abandoned classics section of the forum, but thought it might be appreciated here.
I received a call on Friday saying
"you are a car person, any interest in an old Land Rover, hasn't been out of it's garage in 15 years."
So my reply,
"of course i'm interested, when can I come and see it?"
So had a quick look yesterday, and was greeted with this.
Went back to collect it today, blew two tyres up and towed it out of the garage.
Nothing seized, clutch and brakes worked
Winched it on to the trailer and got it back to my friend's workshop.
Engine wasn't seized, but either the wiring to the starter, or the starter motor itself were knackered, so we towed it about 15 yards and it started!
So it moved, changed gear and stopped without any issue!
I love it, and I'd like to re commission and use it, especially after my Jeep engine blowing last week, but I think the chassis needs a bit too much work for me to do.

Got this HSE black recently to replace my old D3 HSE. Happy so far, miss the air suspension and sheer load size, don't miss a lot else.
Could they not do that bit on the bonnet in Black also or is your roof grey? I like the look of the disco sport with the black pack, looks very nice!Nick_MSM said:

Roof is black, not sure you can have the pedestrian air bag cover in black too (might be wrong?).The first DS's all came with grey covers for the pedestrian air bags, no matter what spec you ordered (ie black pack etc). Apparently they could only use grey plastic to make it due to how it worked!!!
We had ours wrapped black to match our spec.
Within 6mths to a year, they were making them in black!
