Hello Yuri,

Welcome to the forum, If you buy one I hope you will consider becoming a fully paid up member of our club, then you will be able to see what we all get up to on the forum as well as attending events etc.

Where are your from? I know, questions, questions..... well I am a woman and I do like to chat! ;)

Okay, back to your question, do you have the Vin numbers and or Registration numbers of the vehicles?

Kim :D

Yuri,

You have come to the rightplace for information - someone will know the answer.

Great to see your wide choice of Landrovers - is the LR2 petrol & automatic or do you have the chance of the diesel and/or manual transmission?

Hope you join the club

Welcome to the forum Yuri!

I believe there isn't any LE D3 on G4 Tangier Orange, but ask for the VIN and reg number and you will find out here for sure. Also please check on the "about the vehicles" section under specification  if you are getting most of the equipment as some times the cars are stripped out.

So; it is a REAL D3 G4?:w00t:

Reg number: BN55 WRJ

Say yes; I want to be full member soon!!

I am so exiting to intruce me now; but I will try to do leater. I am from Mexico, and I am living in VIGO, SPAIN.

My LR2 is I6 AUTO. Excelent car!!

By The OC (Augusto) - 5 Feb 2008

I stand to be corrected but with this reg Im almost sure is an event car (mine is BN55 WRG -  the older sister) and likely to have participated in  the Bolivian stage (assume is a Left Hand drive)

Is it a 7 seater? I wanted one badly, but could only get holdof a 5 seater...

Jealous of your location, seems to be a great area..could organise a trip some day..

By willowkis - 5 Feb 2008

Hi, yes you are correct it is an official G4 vehicle :D It was used as a Team Events vehicle. ;)

It was used in Bolivia 2006 Stage 3 Driven by Marco Martinuzzi

Team Country - Italy and Netherlands

and:

Stage 4 Driven by Thijs Maartens & Victor Huang

Team Country - Netherlands and Taiwan

Fleet no. 12

>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you would like to join the club and pay the membership fee, you will be able to do so after the new committee have been elected.  We will keep you posted.

Also, one benefit of being a member is you will be able to purchase an official certificate authenticated by Landrovers showing your vehicle registration number and I believe which 'leg' your vehicle took part.

I hope this helps.

Kim ;)

Sorry cant help you with your details but I have a very similar vehicle. LR3 HSE V8. Imagine my surprise :w00t: when a bright orange Landrover kept flashing me on the M62 this evening and then stalked me off the motorway. It was non other than Martin Bisby drumming up recruits. There was I blissfully ignorant of the owners club and now all this. I would like to thank Martin for his kind attentions and ask if anyone knows anything about my car reg no BL54OYG?

Many thanks

Nick

No need to rub it in about no stickers! I cant quite believe I took them off. That was before I found this forum, I will probably spend ages tracking them down now like everyone else. Cant remember the guys name but I was asked at a petrol station about 6 months ago if I would let the mounting bracket for the G4 Landrover plaque between roof lights go. THankfully I said no

Hi,

Anyone knows anything about my car reg no BL54OYG?

Have you had a look in the sat nav for stored locations. Mine has got alot of locations from Thailand and Spain.

This should work with RRS & D3

1. Go to Navigation Menu.

2. Select Stored Locations.

3. Select Memory Points.

4. Select Marked Points.

5. Select List.

6. Go up and down the list and see what you have got.

I'm also going through the photos I have got for the reg no.

Cheers

Lewis
