1989 Land Rover Range Rover Vogue review from Mongolia
"A tough workhorse which can take a good beating!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced radiator at 70000 miles.
Replaced all the bushes at about 120000 miles.
Replaced disks and wheel bearings at about 130000 miles.
Heater core started leaking at 125000 miles.
Axle oil leaks.
General comments?
This car has been driven off road in Mongolia for the last 6 years in scorching deserts of +40 and harsh winters of -30. Amazing off road performance.
It has been rolled, used as a submarine and still goes on.
The engine has never failed to start even when kept outside in -30 for four consecutive winters.
