i think I've fallen for Land Rover..

[Lefy]

I love my explorer but goddam I think i've found my next vehical if i don't end up gettin an STI.

It's gonna be one of these

it's a defender 110 4 door bad ass. this ones 35inch swampers and xenon hellas along with an external cage and snorkle so nice blacked out with white top

oh I love it coil sprung axles front and rear.
it's plain baddass.

 

[Doug]

They're nice trucks except for the pricetag and the availalability of parts and such. I used to really want a defender 90 till i saw the pricetag and i didnt want one so much after that.

 

[IAmTodd]

I've always wanted a '92 Range Rover, but for the same reason as Doug, I have an Explorer. But excellent choice! I looove the looks of 'em. No one else seems to though, but who cares about them, right?

 

[wired_af]

I've always wanted a Range Rover also, my dad used to have an older one but he got rid of it to get his expedition.

Defenders are awsome...

 

[JTX]

I saw on Car and driver tv that some of the new Land Rovers are sharing parts with the Explorer. Is this true?

 

[ahhjaws]

I'd make sure theres a local shop that will work on it. Our shop is the only one in our county who works on Rovers.

 

[emon]

land rover rocks! go for it!

 

[Stephen]

Thats the problem, finding someone who will work on it. Reliability and poor quality isn't so much a problem on the Defender as on the other models.

Go for it, the 110 is a rare beast...

 

[Lefy]

i've got a land rover dealer about 10 minutes from my house with a big service depart ment but I woulden't bring my110 there unless I wanted to have my self really ripped off I'd think I'd work on it my self for the most part.
I've had my explorer for a year and have only take it to a shop once for an alignment

and I have replaced oil nurmerous times all my filters tranny fluid. diff fluid.
radiator. belt and tensioner. intake gaskat.
done a 3inch body lift. and rebuilt my leaf spring.s with new add aleafs.
and a whole bunch more. I thin the only thing I woulden't do or attempt is to rebiuld the tranny.
I'd try to rebiuld my engine though. when it comes time

like others, i really wanted a D90 at one time. they have a certain "coolness" factor like an early bronc or a binder. came down to the way too much $$$ factor, and the fact that i couldnt get parts at Napa/'Zone.

I'd say the spares are fairly plentiful. There are several clubs and shops around the country that cater to them. However if you don't mind mail order, the UK has a plethora of sources for new/used parts.

Here's a pic of my Series 3. (I'd wanted a 110 but still have to wait 5 years before they can be imported, plus the ones stateside cost too much.)

 

[Lefy]

why would you have tyo wait 5 years before importing states side?? curious

 

[dave93LTD]

A twenty-five year constraint on importing vehicles from overseas that don't meet US spec. After that age they are less strict on meeting DOT standards. (i.e bumpers/seats structure etc.)
The first One Tens came out in 1984. (Ninety's a bit later)
