The local land rover dealer, they just had my car in for a free.. yes free health check (its only visual i know) but even so they had the car for just under an hour and checked the diff and transfer box levels for me as well.. for nothing.. spot on i say! And its not like its a new car either (95 P38).

Got a list of things to fix/replace now tho bummer.

Conversely I spent £160 on labour at the Madza Stealership having the electric window fixed and the wiring changed on the rear high level brake light

bummer..

looks like i need to fix the wipers all round (split blades and siezed arms)
sort out the fog light full of water
replaced the HT leads
fix the leaking rocker cover
oh and replace a bulb

that leaves a slight leak from sump, PAS and transfer box (i hear they allll leak)
and "dirty" brake fluid that needs changing.. damn thats annoying

You think thats bad.

I need a new gearbox.

I think thats what im going to be looking at soon.

In an effort to not be outdone

Looking at dropping out the 1108cc engine and gearbox and replace it with a 1242 from a punto.

I need me exhaust checkin over as its startin to blow again, lookly  i have a two year warranty. The central locking also needs sorting out (luckly i have a daddy to do that  :whoops:) and the alternator may need looking at as i have trouble starting it up most of the time. All of this in time for the MOT next month yay

would the 1700cc engine not fit?

No, the Cinquecento only has a dinky engine bay.  An Uno/Punto Turbo lump would fit with work, but I havent got the time/skill/money

ah well if you will by silly little cars you face these problems eh

a mate of mines brother had a cinquecento with a duff gearbox as well.. might be a common fault

what engines in your landy?

He has a 4.6 HSE.

So.. They give you a "Free" Check over on the Rover & you come away with a list of things that need to be fixed/replaced?

 

thats right, 4.6 V8 petrol

and yeah i have to replace a few bits but theres less than £50 cost for me to DIY it

cool i bet that pulls like a train.
 i was just wondering as i noticed the diesels came with fuel burning heaters, and i am looking at fitting one to my car just wondering what make they used in the landys.
