Well guys. Just picked her up.

For the most part I thing it's a brilliant 4x4.

Now a few changes to be made. I'm going to remove the rear panels on the windows. I tried reversing into a parking space and remembered how hard it's to do when you can't see out!! However beneath the panel the windows has been sprayed with spray on tint and some kind of glue. Looking like a fun job!

Regarding the alloys, and various other trim (external) I hate it! I keep my head low in traffic, espically being a young lad - I'm not into that type of style. I'm a traditional Land Rover man.

One thing that needs sorting is the steering wheel. It doesn't adjust. Up and down makes no attempt at moving (Not even a sound from the motor). In and out there a sound but no movement (belt snapped?).

Likewise - the pixels on the dash are not working. It's a common problem I believe in the older models of the L322.

Regarding it being a commercial - Yes they are pretty common around the country. The only way many could afford them! I don't think I'd bother with the seats, no need for them really and not worth the risk.

Any ideas what I should get done to keep her running well? Will upload more pictures as I get working on her.

only in Ireland the things we have to do good luck with new car. Those wheels should sell easily I would put them up for at least 1200 Euro. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Do you reckon they'd be worth that. They have just been refurbished - new tyres and not a scratch.

Wouldn't stay like that for long with me driving!!

Progress is being made.

Handles de-chromed.
New Alloys and tyres fitted.

i think this is the first 2 seater FF we've had on the forum...

This is the second. I'm only driving the Range for professional use and in 99% of the time alone.
The tax saving on the first year was around 25K€.
The "kit" is installed by an independent company on the new car but sold over the official dealer network. And I have to say it's very handsome. 1.70 meter length gives a massive loading space. The protecting bulkhead is 24cm.

Looks like a great job... Would not mind doing something similar to my commercial conversion.

Do you have the rear seats? Did you leave the windows functioning? Can you re-install the seats in the future without large penalties?

interesting, but highly expensive!
would you be in trouble if you were carrying a person in the back, -(alive etc. )

what about a dog?

Na, one wouldn't be in much trouble. Similar to overloading - however there is no rule in this country regarding same.
It just would not be a good idea to have a accident as one would have no seatbelt etc.

On the contrary it cheaper rather than more expensive to have a commercial.

Regarding a dog. There would be no hassle.

The police are very vigilant on that down this way. If you are caught with someone in the rear of a 2 seater van, the extra passenger is made get out and walk....the driver will most definitely attract penalty points on his licence for carrying passengers unlawfully in a suitably equipped vehicle etc... 2008 Range Rover TDV8 435,000kms

I'm not so sure you are correct. I believe the only law is that one uses all the seats and seat belts available. After that, there seems to be no law against overload so therefore no penalty points. One possible could be done for using a commercial vehicle outside work, however if one is overload for the purposes of work I cannot see this happening.

i pay only 520 Euros/year for my 5.0 SC ... and i have all the seats  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!
