Such a bad idea for you to buy this; probably the most horrible purchase of your life. My best advice is you call me and let me take this off your hands so it can be "My New Money-Pit" and not yours!
All joking aside, she's a beauty man; congrats to you and the family on your new addition! I see you are in Pasadena area; I'm a bit south in Oceanside so hope we bump into each other on the trails someday!
If I didn't already have Victory (my 08 LR3) as a superb "Money-Pit" I'd be looking for a sweet D1 or D2 project vehicle.

@Landy-Lee North America so 4.0 or 4.6 Liter V8 unless it is very old then it could be the 3.9 There are a few "unicorn" TDI's around but you can count them on 1 hand in most area's.
My only concern would be the misfires, not a lot of causes but they do show up with head gasket issues

We only got the 4.0 v8 here unfortunately
Steel body colored wheels are on the agenda for sure, as well as a roof rackVery nice vehicle
Please make sure to change the wheels and paint them body color
Somebody definitely was going for the camel trophy look for sure. The fact that it was the right color, already has an OME lift, the arb bumper, and rock sliders really sold me on it.

So looks like I found the source of the problem! Fixed these crank sensor wires and its running like a champ. Also replaced the worn out fan clutch with a severe duty unit from a truck and its staying nice and cool. Found both condenser fans are inop so ordered some replacement motors and will be replacing those soon.
