What landrover parts are pricey?

Seriously, if you think they're expensive on parts you've been looking in completely the wrong place...

Well for a start, my dads got one. I bought a replacement dash for it and I tell you what, for two pieces of small plastic, for the dash were about £30, and then the dash part its self with out the clocks was £45 quid.
Also my dad has spent what he paid for his practically on sorting it out, He has spent £100s in front of me, on suspension and bearings etc.
I stayed up to 2 am this morning looking at something, that this one needs. £800 quid plus worth of parts.

You'll regret selling the metro especially in 5 years time when they will be worth a relative fortune but you'll regret not buying the landy too.


The landrovers are so incredibly basic there is zero creature comforts. They are so easy to get parts for however they have a well deserved reputation for breaking down (nobody I know who owns one has it in a roadworthy state).



Keeping the metro is the sensible option but sensible is rarely fun.

Laugh is dum dum, the landy has come up at a good price, but I did some right old research last night, with the one that I am eye balling, It would need an engine conversion, as the current engine that's in it, is known to blow up. So they fit the later engines 200 TDI, I looked at the price of those, and a complete setup. going on Ebay, we are looking close to 1800 quid.

For that amount of money, I could drop a very highly tuned K series engine in the metro, bother would be sensible options as both are investments now.
 

People always say you regret the things you don't do, more than the things you do do...

If it was me I'd go for a change, up to you though!  Also one of my mates works at a Land Rover parts shop so might be able to get you some stuff cheaper if I put you in touch with him.

You can tom, as my mam and dad can use a contact for land rover parts.
