like every other land rover its electrical system is crap but i drove it while my Subaru was getting its clutch replaced and i fell in love with it, ill be updating this regularly as it will be taking over some daily duty

Update 12/22: changed the oil and its miss went completely away, turns out it had roughly doubled the amount of it needed to have and started clogging the cylinders, and the bad side the entire interior lighting quit out on the way home.we are tackling the interior body panels which should do the interior up nicely, the roof liner has been replaced with a rhino lined roof liner instead of the original tan cloth.

Next mechanical issue is the transfer case for some reason its really clunking, near impossible to engage its locked center differntial , hopefully a fluid change will fix that too

update 12/23 12/24

most of this was done yesterday. the rear tail light ground chafed off and shorted out my tail, apparently as a safety feature the dash lights are wired to shut off if one of the outer lights fail, forcing the owner to take it in and get it fixed. kind of cool but ultimately annoying. fixed theim rear fog lights, im gonna attempt to tackle the interior panels like i said. pics to be soon

I have a soft spot for all Land Rovers. Best of luck to you on sorting out the issues. Like any true British piece, it's going to have it's leaks and electrical problems. For the most part though, they are very solidly built.
