Thanks wickford thats what i been trying to do just to get a grounding and understanding off them never done off roading before and you want to collect info what ever why you can but yes defo to simple i have ruled out the ES as all that leather what a waste

The leather is not a waste, it's essential.

I'm local if you want to come look round mine I will show you some points to check. Mine has rusty parts and would be a good example of one to avoid.

It's the mechanical side and inside that's the saviour for mine, the rust can and will be sorted.

It also puts the price up, all the electrics dont like water in a ES.... if you want a seat surface you can clean the just get some decent covers take them off and stick them in the washing machine, but then again i just wipe my covers in situ.

One thing to remmeber is electroncs go wrong the least amount you have the better in my book........

Not really none of my ES spec toys work anyway. Not one. Even the radio is playing up now, just one speaker left working :doh:

All ways what i say dont bother with the ES.........

matthew2riches · Sep 21, 2011

I would have had an ES but at the time I couldn't find anything near and around the age I wanted apart from the one I have now.

The electrics are BASIC. There isn't one central brain like on a lot of new cars (thankfully), most things are controlled on their own circuits making it a lot easier to find the problems if you have the brains to do it. A few seconds, minutes, hours with a multimeter tends to find most problems

Brian S · Sep 21, 2011

My ES is an early one with no electronics. No power or heated seats or cruise. Just leather, lecky roofs and everything works. The Switches all light up at night and all speakers changed and running off a mint origional head unit. I even have the cd changer working.

Mine is a rare one though.

Got my first rock slider done, I know the welding aint that neat and maybe a bit burn here and there but a rub down and spray and should do the job. And yes Matt i did get penetration in the end, got half way through the welding and realized only had it on low power. **** taking will not be tolerated under any circumstance's.
