I’m in a situation where I’m looking to do one of three things once selling the Defender: a. Keep my 95 RRC LWB, fix the issues it has, add some moderate off road options; b. Buy a sorted LR3 and prep it for overlanding; c. Buy a mid-90s GWagon and prep it for overlanding.
Cost of the GWagon, and the fact that I won’t have an overlanding Rover (I’m keeping my Series) is why I’m hesitant on that end.
Overall age and list of odd problems with the RRC, is the thing to consider on that end. (But I LOVE RRCs!).
So the LR3 May be a handy option.
I did some quick searches here, and I’ve been asking around, and I’m trying to get a feel for the repair cost of a 100k mile plus LR3.
They “seem” to be pretty good, but that’s from the standpoint of currently owning four previous generation Rovers.
I’m aware of some of the faults/weaknesses of the LR3, but not of the details of owning one for a daily driver that would also be called upon to go on multi night remote camping trips off the grid.
What do I need to know?
