Does anybody know if range rover wheels fit on a patrol

[threedogs]

No Range Rover use 5 stud pattern Patrol use 6 the same as landcruisers , pajera and Jackaroo
All are not interchangeable though

What do you think about a 89 range rover any good

[james008]

In what sense?
In terms of comfort they are very good, and they are excellent off road even in stock form.
I'm unsure, but I think the 89 model may have a viscous centre diff, which is not as effective as the older style mechanical locking diff.
And also, the V8 note is nothing short of glorious.
The 89 should also be an EFI model, this was a big improvement on the old carby setup.

Personally, I love old Range Rovers. If I was not on my P plates, I would have one in a heartbeat.

Downsides are they are thirsty, not as strong as a Patrol in the driveline, they tend to develoo oil leaks and they can be unreliable, however regular proper maintenance can go a long way to resolving many issues.

Depends what you want it for. I have heard that their electrics play up a bit, but have not been told of any one instance. I think they use the same V8 as the discovery, but don't quote me on that. My sister owns a V8 disco and has had an excellent run with it.

First motor was a 3.5 V8.
I think it is just a smaller version of the 4.4, as was the 3.9
The 4.4 is a common swap though.

[threedogs]

yeah I;m all excited first motor was 3.5
4.4 was a common replacement
3.9 not the best motor around,
there are a few early diesels kicking around.
stay away from the air suspension at $6K a corner its $$$ to repair.
As mentioned the electrics let them down, but they are smooth to drive,
took one to Cape York in 1983
