Hey all,
I have a 1998 discovery s1 V8 3.9 duel fuel. ABS Air bags
Not an oil leak what so ever.......serious maintenance is the only way to go with Landrovers.
Have spent a small fortune on him.
Replaced everything on it.
2" lift Tough Dog shocks (foam cell) and 300kg springs, air bags.
XROX BAR, 12,000lb Grange tigerz II winch. Heavy duty duel towing eyes.
Icom UHF, UNIDEN digital scanner
2 x HELLA 2 NAVARA spot lights. (Roo lights)
Duel batterys, all in cab switches above head.
Onboard compressor with cooling fan. Duel H/D power sockets, separate Anderson plug. Amp and volt metre for compressor and fridge.
LED reversing light also swivels to be used as in cab light.
ENGEL 41litre fridge.
Full recovery kit with plenty of extras.......snatch blocks. D shackles
Aluminium radiator.
Rino modified roof racks for Austent Rv5
It is dark green, alloy wheels. AT MAXIS at present. Coopers in June when the maxis rubbish have worn out.
It was a maintenance nightmare when i purchased it. Previous owner just drove it into the ground. Then he had the motor, transfer box and gearbox rebuilt. Hence no oil leaks and a sweet running motor.
I have replaced all of the other running gear...steering, brakes, exhaust, wheels bearings etc. The whole thing is all but new now.
I know everybody that has never owned a Landrover knocks then. As well as some that do.
I have driven it for well over 100,000 klms and has never missed a beat, never broke down, on the hottest days on the dustiest tracks with air on it runs as cool as a cucumber.
The secret to the beast is regular maintenance.
I will take some pics of it tomorrow and post up.
You will know who i am when you see me out in the field now
Cheers
