Shurely this is a no brainer? 200tdi must win hands down!!!:rolleyes:

no!

A very sensible reply.....but problem is unless it's a one owner with pukka maintainence [mucho oil changes & no overheating....a new rad after 10+ years is good practice],its abit of an unknown?:confused:

Ignition switch?.....earth lead?.....soleniod?....connections?...will give you a start[ sorry 'bout the pun!]

some great posts:D....seriously tho I think its a middle'class' problem this hatred.....hate our 4x4's 'cos we'er perceived as working class scum & hate big shiny 4x4's 'cos they envy their wealth?

All very sound postings so far .Could I just add from my 10years laning experience [in a 110...but accompanying discos/rangies] as general info on those who want to "get out there" remove front 'air dam' & fit upgraded f/bumper + same @rear with side extensions as these areas vulnerable to...

It will look really nice! BUT exterior rust is nothing compared to what you cant see!!!.......suggest hosing out :@ every orifice /drying/& spraying a very thin [non viscous] rust inhibitor [eg: Dinitrol] that will soak into the rust that WILL be there but you cannotsee!..any other suggestions???

Would just like to add .....check door frames for rust[inside door cards]..often overlooked....expensive to correct!

If you are using non-genuine parts they will not last .....& new seals are awast of time .Only fit "Girling" OEM cylinders

I pretty well agree with previous posts & think price good start for haggling IF chassis good & not u/sealed rot! Reliable ...yes with the proviso that its a 23 year old!! so you'd be afool to expect the reliability of a23 month old focus .All old Landies are ongoing work BUT bit not expensive &...

In ahardtop no problem [get x2 in]...but for CSW dunno? maybe take off wheel[s]?

I agree with previous posts: 110/v8 combo least sought after...should be cheap as chips! avoid bulkhead corrosion !! oil leaks par for course BUT is there oil in all leaky areas? no oil on road may= no oil in g/box etc.did you want LHD?.....then look for one![try ex.MOD dealer like P A Blanchard?]

have pleaded with council in past......"if you 'repair' lanes so pikies trannies can drive them they will be handy dumping grounds for them ....& their kids will 'joyride' astras & burn them ..... please dont surface them OR maybe construct humps ' entrances?" but fear these suggestions too...

I wrote [& phoned Zaria Beynon ....did anyone else?... mentioned we were discriminated against re:horses Ok, 4x4 pariahs. also stated lanes shut for 6 months of year, now you say each time it rains[ which it frequently does in England!] you will send out a team of our employees @ our expense to...

Re: Pauls e-mail .I snail mailed a reply almost word for word the same as yours Paul & got a standard reply "issues raised be considered by Highways Authority"Maybe recent judgment in LARA`s favor by Judge Berhens will give them pause for thought?

yea bit dubious of galv. chassis? how good /thick was steel? airlocks WILL stop zinc flow into chassis! .......best get genuine or proven quality chassis & etch prime/hammerite + dinitrol inner......will live longer than you!!

Might be worth checking out turbo pipes not collapsing? Did you get any overheating on your towing day?[ cyl. heads prone to cracking ]

Yes ok I`m a stuffy 0ld arse BUT why [appearences aside] do you need a 2" lift? My old ex_M.O.D. 110 has done most of the exciting lanes in GB as it left the factory.As "they" say if it aint broke dont fix it??!!

also check your rear radius arm for any movement[use alever] at axle end especially [ try gripping rear wheel & turning it back & forth against the brake with amate watching for any movement....on my 110 one bolt not tight lead to horrendous on/off power steering swing

rust in the wheel rims will chafe thro tubes [grit blast & hammerrite 2cure]
