Pathfinder I
You’ll want the key to put it in neutral.Do Range Rovers have a shift lock button so I can put it in neutral with out the keys. I don’t see one

When you get it pulled out take an ice pick to the frame. Make sure the frame and arms that hold the body off the frame are SOLID. Box frames can rust from the inside where they look OK but crumble when you start torquing on them.I was able to turn over the engine and all accessories by hand. The fluids all look good and it doesn’t have very much rust.

Awesome! I've got a 2001 Range Rover (same model) for my rig and love it! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or tag me in the forums.I have decided to see if I can bring a 1997 Range Rover back to road worthy condition. It has been sitting for about 10 years. View attachment 121276

Thanks for the info. I am thinking that the owner is questioning on selling it to me. He also has an almost mint classic Range Rover, and a really nice FJ60.P38s are wonderful cars, most of their issues are a derivative of the previous negligence and abuse. They are quite easy to work on (get the RAVE manual!) and plenty of forums groups and video tutorials online (facebook groups, land rover - range rover pages etc)
There is a big market for parts (UK and US or worldwide) and they perform really well on and off-road, modified or unmodified.
Personally i own one and i am modifying it or working on it on a daily basis, its my off-roader, my overlander-camper and daily city ride also.
Its a very addictive hobby to own one,
EAS (air suspension) is really good and easy to maintain or service, but as mentioned above coil conversion kits are plenty out there.
Personally i am still on airbags, which allows me to control the height ride based on the conditions, (i can lower it to bump stops in ordr to go under obstacles while offroading.....
Plenty of space within the cabin for modifications and sleeping space and very rugged and "rustproof" on the undercarriage.
Get a good diagnostics tool, the RAVE manual and a big wallet and go fo it, You can make it last forever.
Always check scrap yards too!!!!
Good luck any help needed please give me a shout and i will try to help with my limited knowledge (i am learning from trying and making mistakes)
GO FOR IT!
