Volvo Owners Club Forum - 1995 Range Rover swap for T5

Hi all.

I'm trying to chase down a T5 of some type so I've joined the forums to investigate things and see if there is a possibility of a trade/swap of my present 1995 Range Rover.

I've owned a 360GLT back in my student days which is still one of my favourite cars, however the Range Rover can't really be compaired to it.

More recently, I owned a 480 Turbo which was fun but needed some refurbishment. It ran well but it needed some rust fixing and also the suspension needed replacing because it was very vague. I sold the 480 when I purchased my Range Rover back in 2004.

Although I love my Range Rover to bits, I need to get a bit more sensible with my old age. I now do slightly more travelling around so it makes sense to have a less needy car, but at the same time I don't want it boring.

For the record, the Range Rover is a 1995 model 4.6HSE in Epsom Green, with the Darkstone Granite interior. It's been very well serviced, with the engine getting regular oil changes every 4,000 miles. Mechanically, it's very good, and excellent for its age. Lots of parts have been changed as preventitive maintenance. It has been Mark Adams (TVR/Rover V8 tuner) chipped and has a Double S stainless exhaust. The engine is fine. A new unit put in at around 110,000 miles. The car has now done almost 160,000 miles ut is still going strong.

The car would suit a Land Rover fanatic like myself, who has some time on their hands to tinker. It's a very easy car to work on (unlike the later model RR) and is well documented.

There is loads of paperwork for it and also spares and an air suspension reset module for emergency.

Ideally, I'd love to swap it with a C70 T5 which hasn't been played around with too much.
