So I've got this awesome deal available to me for a 2000 Range Rover SE (the one with the 4.0L V-8) with 73,000 miles. What are some things I need to look for? I've been googling stuff on it, but I'm really looking for people that drive them or know people that drive them that could give some feedback on the negatives associated with this vehicle. The only main concern is that it has been sitting for about 6 months. My wife went and looked at it today and the battery was dead, but it was jumped and fired right up. What damage could happen over the course of 6 months with no driving? Any feedback would be great!
 
Check in the fuse/relay box under the hood on the pass side. Had one in the shop that had cooked the relays for the interior blowers. burt up the relays and melted the box/board they are plugged into. I worked for a Land Rover dealer in Phoenix while in tech school and they didn't strike me as very reliable. And they are expensive to fix. Outstanding offroader though. Might be fun to replace the engine and tranny with ford or chevy stuff and wheel the heck out of it!
 
It's British.. meaning typically shitty electronics. And guess what, that thing has a BUNCH of electronics. If one airbag springs a leak, the system freaks out.
 
GAS... haha... my buddies also had alot of problems with the rear end and the suspension... the air bags messed up alot.... and speaking of electronics... his sunroof was open and it rained... the range cut on, lights cut on, horn honking, windshield wipers, then the stereo turned on with the ac... then just died.... it got totalled.... so just put insurance on it... leave the sunroof open during a storm... and get paid... haha... good luck with it and hope you enjoy it
