i do not know at what age but at some point land rover put a new engine in the 90 and to make it seem faster they made the chassi out of thinner material. due to this they rot through faster on a particular year. im not sure if it was when they fit a 200 or 300 engine but i will find out and be back

I have a 2001 Y Reg LWB it's the S model, basic as ...., no air con etc, there's no passenger air-bag in it and has the shelf and grab handle for nervous passengers.

Less to go wrong, as if there isn't enough.

The air-bag must have been a extra!

how odd?! I just find it odd that passenger air bag was an option-and yet if you didn't have one, you got the awesome grab handle and shelf...!

...I'm tempted to get her a Renault 5 as that's all She wants, but I can't justify being a three car couple, that's just silly, been there before....
