Considering a 1993 LWB Range Rover...
Hi all,
I'm looking into buying said Rover, and have been reading the posting history on this group as related to that model. I've seen many posts from C. Marin Faure recommending against these LWB models on account of the supposedly dodgy suspension and engine that's too powerful for the frame. But I've seen no-one either confirm or rebut his arguments... so what is the consensus? Should these be avoided or not? Thanks for the input. Seth. |

They are good vehicles - certainly not overpowered as you'll find when you drive one! The only problem with the suspension is that it is an electronic air system which can get unreliable as they get older. The good news is that it is easily replaced with ordinary coils and dampers for a few hundred pounds, so don't let it put you off.
