I have a 55 plate 3 door deisel manual 80k miles, on loan today with view to purchase, I've had a quick look over already, body condition etc. Are there any simple checks I can do on the driveway (VCU?) to check the drivetrain etc?
First thoughts are just to get it back on the road, I've had it running but the seals have gone in brakes and clutch, the exhaust has gone, so I'll just work though the mechanicals and see how it goes.
This is my "new" Land Rover
It's been off the road since 1989 and stored in a barn for the last 15 or so.
It was first reg 9/1958 2l petrol and looks like it still has the original seats!

Safely that is?
I want to put a tow bar on the back of my 109, not for towing on the road more for recovery off road.
Is a cross member stong enough on its own with just 2 bolts to take the load or should I have a drop plate with supports going back to the chassis?
