So I haven't even picked it up yet, but I thought I would start a thread...

Big jobs to do:

Anti rust it
Upgrade the entertainment system/Bluetooth etc
Re-enable the front parking sensors
Fit rear aircon

I want to preserve it's heritage and collectability, so that is an additional challenge!

Has it still got the winch fitted? I had to disable my parking sensors because of that.

If you want to fit the existing sensors into the winch cradle, I think there's an issue as they are tuned to work in plastic not steel.

If you do get them working with the winch, I'd be interested to know so I can refit mine. 1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

Looks lovely.

Front parking sensors. Just check you have the indicator noise or bongs. Mine didnt work and it was the instrument speaker issue. Fixed that and all hell broke loose as one of the sensors was faulty.

Obstructed/broken sunroof drains? They sound almost like mandatory service items to change at regular intervals before disaster strikes. Shocked

(I’m so happy the nordic D3 HSEs don’t come with sunroofs by default) Mr. Green

Ok, so the interior strip out has started but quickly stopped by a flat battery. It looks old, so I want to replace the single battery with a twin battery set up.

I was thinking about agm batteries, but I don't know how they perform when connected together and used with a Winch etc.

Any advice?

So the old battery didn't even accept a charge...

I think I might have entered a battle of wills with my new car.
