gday guys
im going to check one out in two weeks
looks pretty tide externaly (from the photos)
apparently the ex owner was a landrover nut
It has long range tanks total of 150L. Swing out rear wheel carrier, uhf, cargo barrier, winch ARB bull bar (no winch), spotlights. This year I have fitted a reco injector pump, timing belt kit,front crank seal, new spill rail, front steering ball joints, rear discs and pads. I know the previous owner and he had the turbo and steering box recoed, he told me the head was replaced at around 200,000km. It is also fitted with a low coolant alarm which is a must with these motors. It does have a few dings but being aluminium bodied they all do. It also has a slight oil leak from the manifold gasket which is common, and a minor leak from the rear diff pinion seal, these are both minor but will be fixed prior to sale. Overall she is a good wagon
solid axle, coils all round, disc brakes all round, salisbury rear diff stronger than the newer defender diffs. will have 5 mths rego about $600 per year. uses about 9 - 10l per 100 km which is pretty good. stuff that was fixed just wear and tear.
when i do go to check it out, what are the things i should check for like common problems and known rust/corrosion areas etc.
by the way he is asking 11500 for it, i was thinking of offering around 9-10k how does that sound?
im located in townsville, does any one know any places to buy stuff for them or sites in australia with fair postage
thanks alot
