1996 Range Rover 4.6 HSE with multipoint lpg conversion
Metallic Grey
with Grey Leather Interior
Tax end September 2013
MOT May 2013
circa 196k miles but had new engine block and rebuild at 151k
full grey leather interior
electric windows
electric sunroof
pas
Alarm with 2 fobs an keys
18” OEM LR alloy wheels (from a later model)
Cruise Control
Climate Control (needs regas as it isnt as cold as it should be)
factory fitted harman kardon sound upgrade (amps and speakers)
6 disc cd changer
heated windscreen
60 litre LPG tank mounted in spare wheel well – with multipoint lpg kit
the car drives nicely and the air suspension works fine.
LPG works very well – it starts on petrol (as do all 99% of all lpg cars) and then switches to lpg once the car has warmed up a little.
Bodywork and Paint is generally good with only the odd mark
most cars have faults – and this is no exception.
I. the nearside exhaust manifold is leaking – I haven’t inspected this thoroughly as I suffer with a bad back and cant manage that sort of thing atm. Basically though you can hear the fault if you know what to check for, and it causes a small loss of power at lower revs. A replacement manifold (if thats what it needs) can be had on ebay for little money (I saw a pair last week for £40)
ii. the headlining is sagging (very common range rover fault)
iii. the idle is occasionally erratic - FIXED
iv. the car sometimes shows a gearbox fault – this ones a bit odd as no one (including 2 Range Rover garages) could manage to diagnose it – in actuality the car drives no differently when the fault shows up on the OBC and the consensus from the garages its a sensor. Again this is very intermittent, it may occur for a few days time and again, but then often disappears for weeks on end.
v. The Battery may need replacing. - FIXED
vi. The n/s/f passenger door speaker makes the occasional buzzing noise – this is a common issue and requires the door car removing and the amp re earthing.
The car overall is a tidy example
the faults listed are fairly minor and easily fixed (the odd one that Range Rover themselves cant identify aside) whilst the mileage is high the engine has been rebuilt less than 45k miles ago.
the lpg kit makes the car as frugal to run as a much smaller engine car.
I bought the car last yr to go on an archaeological dig and kept it as I liked it.
I'm selling due to not needing such a big car and the dig i’m attending this year is not as remote as last years.
Ive looked at the prices of similar lpg’d versions of these cars for the last few months and they seem to be selling for between £2200 and £3000 with the 4.6 HSE’s being at the higher end of the range/
This one has a few issues and as such I'm looking for a little less.
£1750
Car is located in South Wales and could be collected on most days with some notice
