ahah, well for the range rover I can tell you very easy. The vin can be displayed on the dashboard, there is a menu for it. then you can run a vin check

sooperrescue:


It is true but they build according to the country's specifications. Do you think the one they send to Coscharis is the same with the one sent to Russia? The one meant for Swiss is not the same spec as the one built for France. That is the difference.

CarGuideNG:


The VIN itself would not contain mileage information, but running the VIN through various databases would yield often very accurate and reliable records, including but certainly not limited to Mileage/Service and Ownership/Origin history.

The databases vary with the region of origin or use of the vehicle, for US or Canadian registered and used Range Rovers, CarFax or AutoCheck reports would provide usually quite detailed history information certainly including mileage history.

CarFax costs a bit more and features service history, but AutoCheck does a great job at significantly less cost.

For UK and some EU member countries HPI offers equivalent or similar history information, often via the registration, rather than the VIN.

Below is a page from an AutoCheck report for a 2007 R/R Sport HSE indicating the last recorded mileage and date of export to Nigeria.

A beg show me. I am still very young to learn

erico2k2:

There is not difference in the whole of the EU, if you think there is plz point it out,the whole Range rover is built in the UK then exported to other part of the EU and the world, now only the US spec is different cos of Emission targets and safty.However if you think the ones sent to different countries in teh EU plz point out one difference between the ones we have in London and Swizz.I am waiting baba
we can do teh 2012 Autobiography at least I own that one.

sooperrescue:

Make i check and I will get back on that

erico2k2:

U jst go fru the menu as if you want to check the oil level, the last bit would display the true Vin number.,u can only do this with ignition on though.

sooperrescue:

For 010 models, I understand that. I was reading the vin analysis and how to determine the market that the car comes from. A 2005 Range Rover Sports from Swiss has the auto folding mirror which was given to the 2008 Us spec. When scanning, the market issue comes on.

I wish I had met you last year. I would have linked you to an insurance company that needed this service but I don't know for now if they are still in need.

erico2k2:

the Uk 2005 Range rover has folding mirror.this was basic accross the brand.

LeJeun3:




I don't know about basic, but folding side mirrors came on autobiographies and supercharged models, till 2007/2008. When the the second gen Jaguar engines were installed.

2005 range rovers still had the BMW 4.4 Engine
I think he meant Range Rover Sport.

Good Evening All,
If I have a complaint to make on a fellow nairalander, especially one who I patronised because of referrals within Nairaland, to whom do I send a private message.

I have sent a message to the moderator and have not received significant support on it other than a message "Hi, Will get back to you tomorrow please." which I received on Jul 22nd.

Please I need your advise.

Many Thanks.

rhames:


are there other related issues that one should look out for apart from just the airconditioner sir?


Is the price ok or should i still negotiate it downwards?

It depends on you buying brand new compressor and condenser or you buy used compressor and condenser which is way lower than the given price. But then, you will need to factor in the risk involved getting a used compressor that will fail without notice. Sometimes, it might be the evaporator which is also cheaper. Let them check what is wrong first before you spend money on what is not.

rhames:


I prefer the new ones which will work longer,


How much is a brand new compressor and Condenser.?


And please sir, which versions of the older Range Rover Sports and Land Rover Discovery that have mini fridges?

sooperrescue:

From 2006 to 2010. They all have mini fridge. Brand new compressor with condenser is from 150k to 200k. Automatic compressor.

Please state that a manual compressor will be fitted to the vehicle for this price, an automatic compressor comes at a whopping N200K with warranty...
