Vehicle Detail
**Revision** I have re-listed this vehicle because of all the interest I received, with a new LOWER Buy-It-Now price. Unfortunately I was out of town and wasn't able to respond to all the questions or supply additional photos as requested, so I have done one better - I made a YouTube Video! I am embedding it into the bottom of the description below, so scroll down to see it. If for any reason you can't see the video, please email me and I will send you the web link for it. I've had this Rover for about 15 years now, and I've loved it. I hate to sell it! If you want a solid, reliable 4x4 to drive off-road or to get around in the worst mountain weather, this is the vehicle for you! It runs great, and I've maintained it well. This is the '87 model, which means it had FAR LESS computer/electronic accessories that the '89 and newer models had - NO COSTLY REPAIRS! And it has shock and spring suspension, NOT electronic air suspension (nothing to break). I replaced the standard shocks with awesome Bilstein shocks for a super smooth ride over the roughest terrain. The last time we had a big snow here, I had a BLAST driving this thing all over the place, past all kinds of vehicles that were stuck. The Range Rover is a heavy vehicle, and has an awesome, virtually indestructible transmission - it can practically pull a tree stump out of the ground! It will go ANYWHERE. Vehicle has NEW factory-sized Pirelli snow tires on it, including the spare (that's about $800 in tires alone). Everything works. The silver paint is getting faded. I just replaced the hood because of a rust spot (which is the only part of the body that isn't galvanized). I found a new hood that was the same color and just swapped it out. The rear lift-gate window is in excellent shape, having been replaced a few years ago. The mileage shows 106K, but that's not accurate; we thought the speedometer was broken for a while, and decided to replace it before selling, but after taking it apart found a broken speedo cable instead. I've replaced the cable and left the original speedometer in place. However, we've driven it very little since the speedo stopped working (mostly in the winter when nothing else can move), so the mileage isn't a LOT more than that. I also have a complete Factory Shop Manual. If you are just a little it mechanically inclined, this manual shows you how to remove, replace, or repair ANYTHING on this vehicle. It includes step-by-step instructions and exploded diagrams. I'm no mechanic, but I've done most of my own maintenance over the years. Some people have told me, "That thing must cost a fortune to maintain", but not so! It's only expensive if you go to the Rover dealership. There are several great online parts sources, and TONS of great websites and forums to help. I am constantly amazed at how easy it is to fix almost anything on this vehicle myself, or at a local garage. These classic vehicles are getting very rare and hard to find, especially in great running condition. Video at http://youtu.be/ekzDJRASl7E
