Christ, you're a brave man buying a landrover. I've known a lot of them used in anger, and whilst I can't argue they're effective, they were not reliable. Suzukis ruled.
I love them, but could never bring myself to actually buy one!

Re:
They're only unreliable if you don't look after them. Basic vehicles, especially older ones, so little to go wrong, but if you don't treat em right everything will.
Luckily I have a spare truck cab so can convert to a hillbilly pickup with minor spannering
Pic below not mine, but V similar

Nah, not the way we were using them! These were very well looked after, and hammered regularly. To be fair, the most problems were the TD5s; Electrics, Every Bushing, Chassis rot at 3 years old, Leaking Swivels, but mainly the electrics, over and over again. Diffs and shafts didn't last long either.
We were normally the only ones not in a landrover, and normally the only ones without a breakdown. *normally*.
We'll ignore the time my axle ended up 3" to the east of where it should have been...

Only got it because my serial Land Rover ownership ways were starting to disturb Mrs Chopper, who genuinely threatened me with divorce if I didn't stop spending so much time fixing and welding and spend some time with her instrad. Grudgingly realised she was right, not touched a spanner or welder since - I get where Im going on time, rain stays on the outside, oil stays on the inside, and I can actually hear the radio over the engine without having to crank it right up, so perhaps it wasn't all bad.
142,000 miles from new in mine and the only breakdown has been a headlamp bulb.Peachy!":7hltvgdb said:
