    Excellent Matt. Enjoyed that.
    You mentioned the narrowness of the Rangie....given that it is a 5 seater roomy car, it is far better suited to UK roads than the current models.
    I seem to remember mine having the spare wheel mounted on the near side of the boot.

    That will be a nice car that when it's done Matt. I had a 89G 3.5 Manual Vogue cracking car and simple to work on I used to work at a Land Rover dealership in the late 80's as a technician. Also if you weren't silly with the throttle you could get the mid-20's mpg on a run. When the lads get it running ask them to pressure test the cooling system as the heater matrix are prone to leaking as most of the interior is out. It's a 6hour job so your half way there I know I've done loads of them🤨

    Sure, it's not an as-new, concourse-level restoration, but given the state of it when they first got it, the lads are doing a restoration on it, but the best kind of restoration; one that means it'll get used and driven. The lads always blow my mind because they make these things look so easy and they're always so chilled out about things when I look at some of their projects and think it'll be a nightmare.

    I had an '87 3.5 efi (the year they switched to fuel injection) in Conifer green. Failed its first MoT with a leaking PS pump. That was kind of a heads-up for the future... Nevertheless I kept it for 13 years, best car I've ever owned. The family were in tears when I sold it, but I just couldn't keep up with the maintenance. Many of the issues yours has (hole in the footwell, rotten battery box, upper tailgate corosion, fuel tank leak? fuel pump failure) mine had. The cylinder heads are prone to warp - I wouldn't run it for a minute without coolant - I had to have mine skimmed twice. The Vogue does have aircon, btw. I had to switch it off going up M-way hills as it sucked too much power from the engine. But oh, that V8 sound...
