Land Rover Basics Needed (just bougt one on Craig's List)
Here's the deal, Wife and I are going to SF, I told her to buy one-way tickets, we'd buy a vehicle and drive it home (WI), do some off-roading in Moab/Silverton... etc on the way. I'm a good mechanic, owned and worked on lots of 4x4's, but never a Rover. I'm taking tools with me.
Anyway, can anybody plz school me on Land Rover Dicsovery 1's? I need a quick tutorial. For instance, I think I read somewhere the charging system was 24v. What weaknesses are inherent in the 1998 year? What things should I look over closely before I set off from San Fran across the mtns and Nevada (lonliest road)? ...besides check/change oil/joints and all that.
I went by the LR dealership and was really impressed with the LR3 that I looked at. It was really beefy, much moreso than even Toyota Land Cruisers, in my mind.
Thanks in advance.
