Range Rover Reviews

I recently purchased a 1988 Rangie and got this excellent book to learn about the car. Although I am a mechanic of last resort, I wanted to know something about how to keep the car in the best condition. This book exceeded my expectations. The instructions are most thorough. It has loads of B/W pictures on every technique. It covers many kits that are available to restore these venerable vehicles. A must-have reference for do-it-yourselfers. As a bonus, you'll discover what part the British mean when they refer to the "bonnet." - Cheerio!

This is the Bible of the Range Rover

The book described the original design concept of the vehicle. It identified the Range Rover evolution from the beginning to 1995. The book provided the entry level knowledge to the new and current owners, the price tag, and what to look for if you are shopping for a used Range Rover. Does this vehichle fit your life style and daily living with your family. It is very relaxing to thumb through the entire book, especially those colorful pictures. Surely, it is the Rolls Royce of the 4 wheel drive.

I was looking for a repair manual and found two on the uk amazon site, here is the link if you are interested.

Both books listed are by haynes, one states they don't ship internationally, however you may negotiate this(it may just be the shipping cost is greater internationally)...

This book is what it says it is - a 'Service Guide'. This, of course, is no shop manual. If you're looking for some basics for preventative maintenance, this is it. If you're a frequent off-roader, get the shop manual or visit [website] for their online forum and step-by-step proceedures (plug, plug!).

The title of this book is "Service Guide and Onwer's Manual"; it is NOT a shop manual. The shop manuals cost close to... What you get when buying this title is an intermediary between your owner's manual (useless) and the Ranger Rover Shop Guide (useless in the wrong hands). It describes what you need to do and how often. In cases where it is reasonable for a non-professional mechanic, it explains how to do it. Expect to find detailed-enough descriptions of how to change various bushings, brake pads, and other "simpler" tasks like that.

If you have minimum mechanical skills, you'll get enough information to help you keep your Rover from failing due to neglect. Interspersed with the step-by-step directions are plenty of warnings that might trip up the dilettante. Experienced owners who know enough to perform their own 24K mile transmission servicing (that requires frame spreading), don't need this book.

For the rest of us who just want to save a few bucks and learn more about their vehicle along the way, this book tells you what to do and at what time/mileage intervals. You get enough information to prevent the major, costly failures.

Owners of used Rovers (Discos 89-96 and Classics 70-96 are supported) should get this book to get the high level view of what they need to do to keep their truck going. At less than the cost of a tank of gas it's a pretty good deal.
