[smrr1]

i never was the biggest fan either but a good running clean vehicle with no current issues for 2000 i couldn't pass it up

[smrr1]

Looks clean but yeah, be prepared for some oil leaks.

ya it's got one right now but it's due to the tech putting the wrong seal in and will be fixed for free. maybe next week i'll get another..... who knows but still a steal for a clean all things working good ac/heat 4x4

Sell it while you can, any community of car owners that acts like head gaskets are regular maint is crazy. Dropping sleeves in the cylinders, the 3 amigos. Just like any british car its got a shit ton of probs to expect....

Those damn things blow headgaskets like crazy. I had 3 of them repo because of that. They all sold between $600-1500 at auction. Every used car GM told me they wouldn't touch them because they are too much of a liability. Serious wheeler keep dreaming, halfway decent roll over prone wheeler, already done.

I think they're very capable 4x4's but they're a maintenance headache. They pop headgaskets right and left drop cylinder sleeves and all sorts of shit. Our local dealer usually carries more service loaners than new rover suvs....

I like how most bash a vehicle they've never owned or wrenched on. I've driven my 03 D2 since it was new. I've got 145K on the clock, and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned.

If you can learn how to maintain them and turn a wrench, they're great vehicles.

Lol you must like turning wrenches. Ive had a few land rovers and several british cars, esprits, range rover, d2, defender 90. LOTS of wrenching.

My experience comes from financing them, and having 3 of them repo because they blew head gaskets. That is incredible lack of reliability. So much so that about 70% of lenders do not finance them any longer, because they are so unreliable. That really speaks volumes about the company and their product. That and you can't get shit for them at auction, every used car dealer avoids them. They were walking away like the plague.

In the last year, the only wrench I've turned was to drain the oil & filter. My 03 D2. Still rollin. It's just normal upkeep. Most owners don't maintain them, and have problems later on.

Like I said I've owned plenty. wait till the ole 3 amigos pops up or you drop a head gasket . I had the best luck with the defenders. I love the rovers but they're a pain int he ass. they look so sick lifted IMO
