If you can get the VIN number of the vehicle from the seller, someone on here would probably be able to tell you something about it's origin, like wether it's a genuine factory Isuzu Landy.Quote:

It was from Northern NSW and originally owned by a flower seller from up there.
Apparently the electrics are shot:eek:
and the heater plenum and air cond have been completely removed.
An LROCV member had some major dramas trying to get a Vic RWC without the air con part of the system as it is required for demist?
Anyway will take a look tomorrow it may be good for spares.

If the demist function is the only RWC issue, it shouldn't be a 'major' one. A standard heater and fan from a Defender or non-air County will bolt straight in.Quote:

That appears to be a stage 1 motor. The hush kits never had an alum rocker cover under the tin one. Both rocker covers are made of tin on the later motors.Quote:

I would like something like this >>>>>>>>>>> Webasto

In fairness to the seller, he says he'd prefer cash on collection - who wouldn't? He's not going to want to pay the Paypal fees on the final sale price and bank cheques are regularly stolen / forged. I'd want cash as well before a total stranger drove off in my car.Quote:

Sorry to quote you twice in a row John!Quote:
