But I can see it becoming another money-pit like the WRX
Lol. BMW owned rover in 2001.
This car was the test bed for the x5
What you have done is a total contradiction of yourself.

Welcome to high bills, let us know when the air suspension fails. Lol.

These are cheap for a reason. They are crap.

The money you will save from the lpg conversion you can put towards repairs.

I know 2x of these that cost what they are worth in maintenance each year.

I was also amused by my contradiction...but the BMWs were worth twice the amount. And I have a bit of a support community for the range since a couple of family members and my neighbor own one.

The range rover can be compared to the wrx; both are known for failure, but if you know what you're doing, how to look after it and are handy with tools, they can be a rewarding car to own.

Lol.. are you on crack?

A WRX is utterly reliable compared to a RR of that vintage.. don't even compare them.

As Tristan mentioned, one of our mates has one exactly the same as yours, and it costs him thousands upon thousands each year just to keep it running.
