Range Rover Classic: Chassis steel - rust critical. Check outriggers, crossmembers, rear body mounts. Engine Rover V8 - head gaskets (especially 3.9/4.2), timing chain, oil leaks, runs hot. LT77/R380 or ZF auto check condition. Air suspension (1992+) EAS expensive when failing. Electrics getting complex on later cars. Budget £3-8k annually.
