This is a great car that on first look at the mileage of 191,000 may put some buyers off, however, look at what I have done to it.
At 168,000 miles I replaced the engine with a Turner Engineering ductile iron lined engine at a cost of £4,500
The car is LPG converted (with certificate), this makes running costs very cheap in comparison to petrol, it is a multipoint system.
I have also replaced, at great cost, during the last two years:
Also included is the original Landcover dog guard.
I have replaced the radio head unit with a Pioneer dual DIN unit which has apple car play.
This has bluetooth for your phone, Satellite Navigation, Reversing camera, Audio and Video playback, FM radio etc... (Model is pioneer SPH-DA120,currently £329.00 in Halfords)
The rear passengers have the benefit of wide screen DVD players in the headrests, you can also play a variety of built in computer games with the supplied remote controls.
The car also has a towbar with twin electrics.
So, what is wrong with it? well, not much.
The tax and MOT have run out , but that is only because I bought another car in November and have been using that, the weather has been too poor to photograph the vehicle until now.
There is an ABS fault which is probably down to the seating of the ABS sensors which are all new, as is the ABS ECU.
The vehicle comes with a box of spare parts too, including:
Starter motor
Air suspension compressor
Cooling hoses
Serpentine belt
Thermostat
And a few more bits and bobs
There is also a set of four spare alloy wheels including tyres that I had planned to get re-conditioned but never did.
The car has been thoroughly reliable, probably down to the care and attention that I have given it.
There are many years of life left in this vehicle, most of the bits that do go wrong have been replaced by me, what have you got to lose?
