Thats a good price on that 03 SE7. That's a nice looking rig. Huricanes, jump seats, looks mint.

I am also about to buy an 03 DII. It has 93,000 miles and looks like it has been well taken care of. SEE HERE http://www.empireautomotivegroup.com...zip=&distance=
So, being an offroad enthusiast and first time LR buyer, I have already learned so much from this site (THANKS!) and look foward to many future threads.
I found the VIN range on this site (THANKS AGAIN!) and I am not in it! Phew (A814).
Im real excited to buy, but would like to know of any other specific threats to look for. Any info much appreciated and I will continue to browse the site!

previous 4x4: 98 Jeep ZJ 5.9L V8 - 5" Skyjacker/JKS lift - ARB Bull Bar w/ Warn 8k - 33x12.5x16 TSLs - Gibson dual exhaust - K&N Cold Air = FUN

If you're looking for extreme offroad you're going to want the CDL, at least from what I'm told (I'm not a real trail junkie). If so you'll need to go with an 04 or go back to the 02 and earlier and install the linkage.
Oh and the dealership doesn't know crap about these vehicles. It's not AWD.

Hey ShortTom...not to be the land rover ****...but you actually have to go back to early 2001 (1999 DII was the first year without CDL linkage) to have the "nipple" to engage the CDL...late 2001-2003 has no "nipple" to install linkage...but you are correct about the dealership, it is full-time 4-wheel drive (gears).

Ah, I missed that in my young rover education. And **** not at all, I wanna understand the stuff.
Just to clarify the 04 models had the nipple + linkage and everything right?

I'd like to know that myself...also are their any U.S. sellers? Sounds pretty good, but does it work for the non-nipple years? (didn't read the whole site, it might have explained).

No US sellers...easiest way to get in touch with them is e-mail...and no, it will not work for the non-nipple years...I think DiscoMike uses one?

Nothing is going to work for the non-nipple years since you simply do not have a CDL enabled tcase. You need to either swap out the tcase or get the Ashcroft CDL kit to bolt on to your existing tcase.
