    probably still needs a new booster and front brake caliper seals.

    Im almost tempted to buy it (if it goes for free) just so I can see what has been done to it.

    feel sorry for the bloke who has it now if he was told it was reco, the only thing that got reco' on that when it was mine was the carbies, and I did those.

    that thing is going to be the last landrover left on the planet at the rate its going.

    right about the same time as she decided that big red had to go because he was about to cost some money for maintenance items.

    so a disco was procured that she decided she wasnt happy to sink money into for maintenance but was happy to pay to repair 2 trashed heads and an engine and a gearbox.

    from memory, its a SIII with mostly county running gear under it the rear tub is is an ex mil body and the roof was from an 88.

    the access to the rear seats is via the center and the bulkhead has been cut to suit.
