What springs are you using on it? And also I've been trying to find somewhere that sells your air intake, not that I can drive yet I'm just curious, where di you get yours from?

how's your 98 Rover holding up?

i've got the 4.0 model and it is truely a work of **** :crazy: the problems that thing has is phenomenal.. every electrical thing in ****ed in that car, they can't repair it anymore.. honostly.. the only thing that works in it is the AC and the height adjuster.. thats it. sometimes the lights don't work, even though the bulbs are new. i hate that ****.

I absolutely LOVE my car. It sounds like the opposite of your. perfect condition, awsome sterio, amazing car all togeather. I'll get some more pics. But it only has about 60,000 miles. (I think, I'll check up on that later)

But hmm.. maybe you should try not driving it off cliffs, because thats certainly how you made it sound. :p

I'm doing it up in one of these. It's diesel and handles like a tank. I fit a shwack of people in it and I can drop the front end on it with my hydraulics. Oh yeah, it's also got an extending ramp on the front side and surprisingly it generates revenue for me with the adverts I have on the inside and out. Not much of a sound system and the mileage sucks bigtime but it sure hauls *ss when it gets going! :yes:

no way.. we got when it had 20k miles on it back in 2000. it was perfect then.. just last month it hit 100k thats about 17K miles a year. did regular service on time and little by little it just fell apart. our sunroof is off the railing on one side. the stereo is asking for the code, we put the right code in and it doesn't work, even though we left the ignition on for 90 minutes and even reset the battery a few times, its weak, sometimes the windows don't open, the keyless remote doesn't work sometimes.

i can go dig up the repair costs, but i don't have time for that.. there have been a few occasions where we payed over $2,000 in maintenance and other repairs.

we also had the shrub bars and rear light guards installed for $700 when we got it.. a few months later the rear guards fell off.. they were plastic and they used weak double sided tape to put them on. :no:

before that rover we had another one, champagne color, but after a few days of driving it the air bag light came on.. they couldnt fix it and said we had to get another one.

and before that one.. we had a 1991 Range Rover and that thing was awesome! we drove it until 130K then it died all of the sudden.

That sucks. Maybe... I dont know. But I do know that mines still awsome and I still love it. :D

I was about to take some more pictures today but i never got around to it. Besides.. its dirty so I guess I'll wait until I get a carwash.

    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
    • My advice, dont use teams, use the web version if possible. https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/
