    Its a Uk import (2002), the v8 sticker looks really cruddy, as if its been there a lot of years. Frame is fantastic, fully galvanized, think its been changed.

    Good idea, i did move the radiator with the earth lead just before it started acting up. Dunno much about the box or motor, all parts look pretty factory to me. Havent had any major bits apart yet, but i guess its coming.
