Any tips on knowing if the engine is ok. I looked under the car and there is no rust but is has been oilwax coated recently so hard to tell. also the doors are perfect the look brand new. No rust on the bulk head or the a frame just worried about it being a petrol also do you know what kinsd of millage i could get out of it . i'm doing a 3000 mile trip in it hopefully

Blimey.
the miles is slightly irrelevant - where's this landy coming from ? ebay a dealer ?
do you have pictures ?
expect 20mpg and and an average speed of 45-50

I fear for your life, i really do. I realise you haven't had a landy before and i think you are being wildly optimistic if you think you can drive 3000 miles in a week. Seriously, not just for the vehicle but also for your health.
I would recomend you get it shipped to the ukraine, when you work out fuel, food, ferrys etc its going to be close, but at least you wont be deaf, hypothermic or dead.

When you write a message..go to 'go advanced' then you can use the 'paperclip' sign above ^^ to attach.
is the orginal Trader advert still online ?
crappy dirty smoke, mayo in the coolant, inability to start from cold, inability to idle at a steady speed, inability to rev freely, juddering when changing gears, steering wheel vibration at speed, gearbox jumping into neutral while underway, noise on overrun - there's so much you could look for
but - if it starts drives and stops when you collect it there's a betting chance it'll still be doing the same in 3000 miles time
might want to join a breakdown service just in case
