    Question Late request for "County V8" inspection/help.

    Hi there,

    I know it's a bit late in the piece, but I am hoping someone out there with "County V8" knowledge and experience might be able to help me out on Saturday (tomorrow) arvo to have a quick look over a possible 1985 addition to our Landy fleet (which is currently at a lonely 1!).

    I do not intend to hold anyone to their advice, I just need you to share your knowledge and perhaps help me understand the "deal breaker" things with a County V8. I know my way (roughly) around a P38 Rangie, but am really not too sure of what to look out for with these yet. I just don't want to buy a dead lemon although am happy to work at refreshing catching up on maintenace type of things.

    I am currently living in the inner Eastern suburbs. The vehicle is located in the outer Eastern suburbs and I am happy to pick up and do the driving or meet you there (whatever is easier).

    Please call me if you can help out (or text me your number and I will call you) so we can chat to arrange details.

    Thanks, Dave.
    0419330726

    P.S. I reckon the favour is easily worth a Pub Lunch on Saturday and a carton of beer (or equivalent) to drop you home with!

    Thanks Justin. Will take you up on that offer, especially if I end up having to wing it alone!
    Hoo-Roo,

    I'll look at it with you if you want another set of eyes.
    I've had experience. Look at all the lemons I've bought.

    Happy to help, I'm in the outer Eastern Subs ( Wheelers Hill ) & will only be working on the Landie.
    '85 Counties seem to be in my blood.
    Is this the one at Healesville that has the gas tank in the rear instead of seats?

    G'day Dave, I'm at Narre South, I cant promise anything, but give me a ring when your ready to go look at it, and I might be able to join you.
    I have a few things to do in the morning, (shopping for Landie bits at TJM ), which is in Dandy, and also down at Cranboune. Both are probably more S/E-ish than where you need to be, but I can meet you wherever if the time slot is right. Depends on what SWMBO needs.
    And if Mick comes over, it will be a prelude to Sundays run,,

    Cheers Chops,,

    No worries, cruze by, give me a call B4.
    BTW the guy selling that has made it difficult to register if the seats are'nt engineered. You will need to retrofit an original bench seat to get it thru Vicroads.
