Classics doomed?

The parts you mention have, as far as I know, never been available, indeed I've yet to see a replacement RR chassis offered with any enthusiasm. For whatever reason Range Rover chassis parts are not popular and it is unlikely that anyone would start making them now. I presume that most people make do and adapt what is available (certainly most of our customers do) or chop the required parts off a scrap chassis.

Not a lot of help, but there we go!

Richard is right those parts have never been offered by LR.

I did hear a rumour last year that the galvanised suppliers were going to offer a replacement chassis for RRC and Disco.

On or around Wed, 16 Mar 2005 10:21:16 +0000, Marc Draper enlightened us thusly:

with luck, one chassis should do both.

I kind of suspected this would be the case but it's nice to have some confirmation if only for my own sanity. My only rational for thinking there must be somewhere that stocks these items being if a relatively new Range rover classic (in the old days!) were to have a collision which rendered it with a buckled outrigger then it would otherwise be a write off / bodge to fix. If it's down to a bodge then the insurance technically can't say it's fixed to the same pre accident condition (whilst I accept could be better!). Ultimately it wouldn't be the origional manufacturers spec. Still not that I tend to let none stadard items worry me too much, just frustrating. The attraction of writing off vehicles is now becoming clearer, given the Rangies don't have the same sort of nostalgic appeal as the series there is on my behalf a growing reluctance to pour more money into it. Ultimately we have it because it was the lesser of two evils when trading in a car on our Disco. Newer Frud Mundanoes are now haveing a growing appeal given my never ending list of things to do......

I was thinking that as the early discos used the RRC chassis, is the same true of later disco's? (not 3 obviously).

Yes chassis is basically the same, depending on type of engine and suspension options.

Disco II chassis totally different

P38 chassis again totally different

Disco 3 & Range Rover Sport share the same "platform"
