Default Just bought a Range Rover

1997 2.5 DSE.

Never owned a 4x4 before and previously stuck to sports cars.
Fancied a change so here I am.

If there is anything I need to look out for please shout!

And Hello!

Go to my site at www.eurotekapg.com and read the tech info pages that address the various systems (nothing there on the TD engine though). If this is your first 4X4 you need to educate yourself. Land Rovers require that you stay on top of the service schedule. To do otherwise sets you up for problems down the road. And I mean potentially expensive problems.

But enjoy it !!!....they are unique and a blast to own!

Regards,
Geoman

Thanks Geoman!
Will certainly take a look.

I've always owned cars which have required lots of maintenance. I see nothing changed with a Rangr Rover!!

Full service today.

Why oh why does it take a while to start! Sometimes fires up first time and at other times takes about ten seconds of engine turning before it fires up!

Thanks for the link.
