Hi LandyZone,
Just about to take ownership of a 300Tdi that has been in and around the family since brand new, it was my uncles workhorse (one of about 6 or 7 landys and rangies he's had over the years) in Wiltshire, and just been on snow duty in Glasgow over the winter (it pulled a 6 wheeled truck rescue vehicle out of a snowy ditch) and now I'm finally able to drive and look after her.
Been a bit tinkered with over the years, as far as I know it has:
Koni anti-roll bars,
BF Mudterrains and Insa Turbo Dakars,
K&N Filter
Samco Hoses
Uprated Intercooler
Remap
Optima Red Top Battery
EGR Blanked off
It is a bit tatty and few rust patches under the wheel arches and has has a new boot floor, it has also done 187,000 miles and could really do with a bit of inside knowledge on what I need to be looking out for, and any maintenance over and above what the manuals and common sense says.
Had a very very stiff brake pedal and no servo, which was traced to the cover of the vacuum pump having 4 out of the 6 rivets missing and the gasket hanging out, resealed it and secured the plate with 6 M6 bolts and Nylocks, brakes work well now but does pull a lot to the left, any ideas?, discs are clean, lots of pad left, callipers are new but still the left side doesn't seem to bite as hard as the right.
Cheers,
Will,
