Good deal

 

How much work was that, removing the roof?

Brian.

 

It's a lot of bolts but not hard to do. Mostly time consuming.

 

Yep, lots-O-bolts.

But what a true Unicorn Shift found. Especially if the INFO from RANGEROVERS.NET is correct....can that be right only "37" were shipped to the US without a sunroof? Seems a bit crazy.

" A limited run of thirty seven 1993 County SWB models were produced without sunroofs and were sold for $1,500 less than the models with the sunroofs. "

>1993 Range Rover

 

Yep. About a million Phillips head screws. I was really surprised at how easy it was. Kinda scary considering how much weight I've put on the roof of my truck.

Removing the headliner was the worst. I was trying really hard to be gentle with it. I got it out intact but it took some effort.

 

37??? Wow. What a shame if that's true. So sad. Someone needed something under the dash I guess. They destroyed the dash getting there. So sad. It wasn't a bad truck at all. On the windshield is written "bad head". I can't imagine how many perfectly good trucks have been condemned by that stupid V8 going belly up. Just a few manufacturering changes would have really made a world of difference.

 

I wish the D1/D2 roof could have been unbolted like a RRC.

 

It's not even that hard to take care of a Land Rover motor when something does fail.

 

I'm amazed at how many reasonably competent car guys still think there is something mysteriously foreign under the hood. I hear "aren't those really hard to work on?" All. The. Time. I know shops that won't work on a D1 or D2. Almost forcing people to a dealership or a specialist. The one shop here charges $2000+ for a head gasket job. Hard to justify for most people. You have to love em to want to do the work yourself or pay that much.

and they are by far one of the easiest vehicles I have ever worked on. As if it was designed to be worked on, and there aren't many things you can say that about.
