RANGE ROVER 2 (P38A)

1994 TO 2002

BETTER THAN some would have you believe, the secondgeneration Range Rover’s reputation for unreliability is sometimes undeserved. For a luxury 4x4, prices are very low. No serious rust issues to speak of and if you are handy with electrics and a laptop computer, you can use diagnostic software to solve most problems. The only downside: replacement parts can be pricey. The diesel option is a BMW six-pot turbo. BUYER’S TIP: A lot of luxury for not much money.

SPECIFICATIONS 4.0: 4-litre V8 petrol, 185 bhp, 235 lb-ft torque. 4.6: 4.6-litre V8 petrol, 225 bhp, 277 lb-ft torque. 2.5: 2.5-litre six-cylinder turbo diesel, 134 bhp, 199 lb-ft torque. R380 manual or ZF four-speed auto, permanent four-wheel drive.

PRICE GUIDE Poor: £700 – £1500 Average: £1200 – £2300 Good: £2300 – £3700 Excellent: £3700 – £8000
