speak for urself m8. after this D2 im getting me one of those exMOD defenders from the 80's. lol.

 

Mine is a DII and no CDL. It's an 02 but I got my first test this morning. We had a very rare ice and snow event last night hre in South Texas and all I can say is now I know why I bought it. I had trouble getting the features to even come on...the TC and ABS. She just went where others couldn't. I drove around for nearly two hours and helped others I came upon. So many got stranded last night when the freezing rain started. Hope to switch to a CDL TC later..but I feel much better about this little trucks capabilities now. Of course as it happens here...the snow and ice is already gone.

 

thanx alot for all the info guys, but look like I'm going to close a deal on a DI tomorrow.. So i'll be seeing ya in the DI section from now on..

 

well went and looked at 3 LR's today two DI & A DII. the two DI's where large pieces of s#@T but the third was the nicest DII I've seen!!!!!! I's a 03 SE7 with 90,000 that look to have been babied!! not to mention it's one that was repo'd and by the looks of it the Previous Owner took very good care of it, does not even look like the back seats have ever been sat in (by back i mean rear not third row) Test drove it and it drove and rode like brand new.

I also found a 03 that's a HSE in about the same shape is the only difference between the SE7 & HSE in the options??

Also was 03 the year of the bad oil pumps???

 

yep, oil pump failure on some of the '03s

 

Yes. There is a specific VIN range which have the bad oil pumps, though many people have had oil pump failures that are not in the VIN range.

 

bad vin range is 3A771801 – 3A808362

 

Just gotta say it - OMG I want it! That 'burban is off the hook. This coming from a DII owner that loves his Elle.

 

Don't that figure the vin on one of the truck's is 3A790537 and the other one is 3A774765!!!!!!!!!!!

Now did Land Rover recall these trucks or was it one of those your screwed if you bought one in that vin range!!!

also did they fail on low milage truck's?? So if you have one near or over 100,000 you where safe and probably got one of the good ones?
