simonr Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If you keep on top of servicing & the odd little bits of maintenance required along the way, they are actually a very reliable vehicle for what they are capable of doing.

Gren_T Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Ah the Haynes book of lies.. get yourself a proper LR workshop manual it really is worth the money as is the parts book. why the parts book?? when you followed the HBoL and got something off and then it says "reassembly is the reverse of steps to 1-50" the parts manual shows you how and the order the parts go back together to form an assembly, and when you need bits you can get the right parts 1st time by giving the part # welcome to the world of scarred hands, a smell of EP90 on every item of clothing you own. however you will be welcomed everywhere, no-one cuts you up on the road & come winter or when their car fails to start you will be everyone's mate. regards all Gren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Hunter Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 As Gren_T said, get the manuals. This forum has an excellent selection of downloadable ones at: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=4731 A lot cheaper than using beer tokens!
