Agree.

Toyota Hiace.

Top Gear job - bloke over the roads got on very similar.

Is it a Mitsubishi?

Old cars are mostly ****!:)

Do you mean right hand end? Any how very easy to replace the seals.

Nothing wrong with welding.

He's not got a Disco, so he wont be welding it!

Blimey, he's got the set. Def, Disco and Frelander - he's mmmad!

Ouch! Single most expensive job on mine was matrix a couple of years back. New VCU along the way, exhaust manifold and countless bits and pieces. I run mondo 50/50, so less strain on transmission. I need her to behave for another month or two:)

I'll be checking out soon chaps. With me I just need a change, so its a reasonably powerful car (never really had before) or maybe Disco for me. We been together over 5 years - longest I've ever kept a car, so will be sorry to see her go but just can never trust her 100%. Perhaps you cant trust...

Still works best as a front wheel drive in my opinion. Regards, Lone Wolf.

Well observed Teddywood, but not quite what I had in mind. More thinking petrol straight six.:)

Very good price - does he want mine as a back up?

:hysterically_laughi Nice one.

Rust is rare.

Don't be put off mate. It will be great fun and there is bound to be loads of peps there that just want to have a bit o fun. Certainly not my intention to put anybody off - I'm at the end of my Freelander journey - as it were, so just nursing her along now. Probs should of said this at start...

Ha ha, you guys will end up building Defenders for the rough stuff - guaranteed.:D

Sand is bad. But then any time you move off tarmac will increase wear and tear. I suppose its all about acceptable degree. This is an interesting point, you buy an SUV, albeit one of the first, then you need to weigh up cost of breaking it by using it off road!! I've been on a couple of play...
