So whats the story with the TD5? total rebuild?

The chassis has a few holes.
Both swivels are leaking
Possible front propshaft uj's replacing
Steering box leaking
Oil in the ECU loom
Two doors need maybe replacing
It needs a damn good clean inside and out.

But the engine and running gear are sweet
The bulkhead is solid.
It's got 124,000 miles
Service history to 92,000
Only 2 previous owners
Blummin good price.

your picture of the 110 loaded looked like the tyres might of needed a little more air in them is all.

Ah yes it was just a trick of the light, I gave em a kick and tested them for 415 miles and they seemed ok.

Well it's job done. It's unloaded and I'm now wondering what I've taken on

So all in all it was a good trip.

Rangie did o.k, 23.4 mpg with unloaded trailer and 20.9 mpg with the 110 on the back.
830 miles over three days.

I'm going for a lie down now.

Looks great now I've washed it....but it hides some serious work.

I hope to get it finished for the Torbay trip.

I know you have done the trip , but i always found for long trips and piece of mind with drag reduction advantages as well , just remove the tyres and weld the rims to the load bed . Its worked for me for years :screaming_bug_eye_f
