Will do if someone tells me how to upload them lol... 90 all the way is that kilometres lol... In all seriousness I'm totally in the dark probably a bit silly for buying a truck I've never seen in the flesh and expecting to drive it 270 miles but the guy is a landrover mechanic and owns several and says it will get me home so my trust is in him

Brave man indeed ! Welcome chap, as above - pictures ! Use PhotoBucket

you upload to that, then cut and paste the URL links to here and it pulls the pictures through

Kevin stewart · Mar 18, 2017

OK thanks for that will do when I pick it up next week.. And will probably be asking for information and help as I do various things that need doing to keep it running and improve it... Can't wait owned one when I was 18 so won't be too shocked at things like braking and wandering steering lol

Welcome aboard

Another vote for piccies

Can't beat a nice series - learn't to drive in a IIA a few, er,..... "weeks" back

Kevin stewart · Mar 18, 2017

Hi thanks again guys yes will definitely be putting lots of pictures on when I get landrover home next weekend still haven't decided how yet.. Torn between train down and drive back or hiring a car trailer and using my volvo to bring her home will decide in next couple of days

Simply 'disconnect' something on it then get it towed home on an AA van

Kevin stewart · Mar 18, 2017

Mmmm that's a thought

Welcome, and congratulations! Best of luck on the trek. May the odds be ever in your favo(u)r.

Get it up the M1

, I've done nearly 900 miles in a defender towing a trailer to Scotland to bring a 2a back. It's an experience I can recommend, never again will you want to go to Alton Towers

Is that a Q plate? What's the reason behind that?

Regarding the Q plate the seller a landrover mechanic says it was ex mod.. He say all the chassis no match up with the log book and I've checked with dvla and everything is legal so hopefully it is...
