    Oil leaks from the crank rear and front main seals
    corrosion on seam of the thermostat housing where the gasket for the thermostat lies
    weeps from the oil cooler cover
    weeps from any part of the FIP
    abrasion on any of the vac or coolant lines
    damage to the brake lines where the air filter inlet trunk has been rubbing on the brake line for the front left brakes
    bent engine mounts from extended running with broken engine mounts
    shroud damage where the fan has taken a bite, ditto for the fan blades
    fretting of the pullies for the fan belt
    crank pully drift (RUN!)
    abrasion of the timing gear cover
    exuast soot on the exhaust manifold near the gasket if its got the spring loaded exhaust manifold clamp bolts
    starter motor bolt tensions
    leaks from the oilfilter/pressurerelief/oilsender mount block
    leaks from the oil pressure sender in the block for reverse gear

    you know, the usual....

    unless you ment the whole vehicle in general, thats a different kettle of fish but that should get you started, let me know how long you've got to play with it and what tools you'll have on board and I'll work up some other stuff for you.


    if you like when I get to work on monday I'l dig out the Tech insepction details and NTI details for the donk.

    There was a very nice county wagon V8 on gas in the markets a while ago. Used to be owned by one of the guys from British Off Road. Not sure if that would interest you. Good diesel 110's are a bit thin on the ground.
    What about a body swap onto your fender. A few people have done the reverse.

    I am considering selling my county if you dont mind one with some damage. Probably wouldnt be too hard to fix either I'm just not extremely enthusiastic about the whole situation.
