kvz2000 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi guys, I am desperate to contact any previous owners of my Landrover, hoping someone on here has seen it in the past, it's had loads of money spent on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 contact DVLA & request the vehicles database history, there is a fee, so ring first to get the correct fee amount & where to send your request to, it should contain all know owners since first registration, I did this years ago for my 110.

Hi there , I'm in south Ayrshire but not been near Killie in it but if you have been down the 77 you might have seen it , the guy I bought it from only had it for a few months and didn't know the history , I have details of a previous keeper from near Aberdeen but no phone number, I sent him a letter but no response , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can't help but wonder why you are looking up previous keepers? I only know the last owner of my Disco, and coincidentally I have to drive right past their front door on 25th Jan and might just stop by to show them how much the Discovery changed since they last saw it in the flesh. Whats your reason for wanting to know more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can't help but wonder why you are looking up previous keepers? .... He probably wants to know something about the non standard 2.8litre diesel that a previous owner fitted, it's MOT is due in a couple of weeks so maybe they need some info to buy parts?

Whats your reason for wanting to know more? I am trying to contact the owner before the guy I bought it from to see if he can tell be the exact details of the Iveco 2.8 Diesel engine fitted and if it has had a recent timing belt fitted. There are so many varieties of the engine that buying parts is very difficult and I don't want to go to the expense of having a timing belt fitted if I don't have to . The guy I bought it from doesn't know the answer to my questions so I hope the previous owner might Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
