Nice bit of kit! I particularly like the look on the back end.
‘95 same as my P38
What’s the one with snorkel next to it?

That belongs to the chap that sold me the landy, that is his every day work horse, also a 130 just a lot more kitted out!
I also know it's a 300tdi with a supercharger on also, I think he said it's running at over 200bhp and has been faultless as an every day runner for years
Me? 30k in two and half years. She's on 175k now (98 plate).
Daily drive for most of that time, but bought a work hack in May to keep the miles off her. I miss it though, even dressing for winter to drive to work.
Few niggles, replaced front diff (you wouldn't believe how fonked up it was, thanks @jamesmartin ) new timing belt (just to be sure, when was yours last done btw? Crucial) New callipers and pads all round. Handbrake cable. Worn lighting harness over nearside wheel arch ( buggered lights) easy fix, more bits an pieces that don't register,and am currently saving for a new rear cross member. And I think I've got off lightly really. And she's still scruffy.
Ok, I don't need a Fender, I wanted a Fender for a long time (read, need a Fender).
She was built when I was eleven, but she's mine now, an they don't make em no more,
Soliloquy done
Have fun

Sounds like a good fun tractor!!
No one needs a landy nowadays it's because you want one and can think of a good reason.... mines for towing for work !!!!
Could of got a Toyota or Ford..... but why when theres a landy
Luckily in my village theres a landy specialist restorer thats highly recommended and a nice chap, he has looked after it for the previous owner sland will continue to so I will do as he says when he says !
Good reason? That suggests a level of sanity.
Your man is right though, servicing is key. Is cheaper long term and she'll love you for it.
Keep in touch, we loves pics
