    Talking GOT ONE!! :D

    Bought a SIII with a 2.25D engine. 109" troopie body.

    This is a luxury version - it has roof vents for driver & passenger, and a previous owner has fitted pneumatic struts to the rear upper door. There are rear seats (not fitted, I have to figure that out).
    There's a pretty heavy duty looking roof rack.
    Spare set of wheels - one set is worn cheese cutters on normal rims, the other set is nice looking A/T's on Sunraysia rims. I want to get a spare sunrasia rim & matching tyre or 2.
    Both interior & bonnet spare wheel hders are there. So I may get 2 spare sunraysias.
    Long range (extra) tank on passenger side.
    There's a spare starter motor, transfer case, bell end, front door handles (no keys so far though) door hinges & lots of parts that I don't recognise.

    Known issues:
    Brakes need bleeding, possibly other remedial work too.
    Oil leak from around the top of the engine - suspect rocker cover gasket.
    Evidence of diesel leak - slick on side of main tank.
    Near side headlamp needs replacing. It's in the back - the plug was stuffed.
    Both headlamp holders(?) are rusted out & should be replaced.
    The timing (according to the previous owner but one) is out & it certainly looks it from the quantities of white smoke.
    The seats are split, so will need replacing / covering for RWC.
    The wiring appears original - the insulation's going brittle in places.

    No doubt I'll find more as time goes on.

    Looks like a lovely lady. Glad to see she's found a good home.

    I even like the colour! (see my avatar)

    Thanks Caroline.

    It is camino gold, I think it's just my iPhone camera that's got the shading wrong.
    The key I have fits the driver's door & ignition, possibly the passenger although it seems to be stuck, & doesn't turn at all in the rear. So I expect I'll be needing your locksmith.

    Bugsy, if yours is a TDI Deefer I might be persuaded.

    Thanks for the compliments both of you.

    Maybe a better pic would be good to really see your landy...very hard to see in those little avatar pics

    Hhmm interesting....mine is Camino Gold, that certantly looks like Bahama Gold.. but as you said your phone camera maybe deceiving...when you get it running come over and we can compare

    You may well be right Carolyn. I can't tell the difference - they're both a sandy colour to me. I'll certainly bring it round to compare once I have it registered.

    SIImad, I'm with Mrs. Ho Har. Let's see some proper pic's.
    You too for that matter, bugsy.
