It seems great, I've driven a fair few an this one is one of the hardest pulling I've felt, although the 200TDi Rangie was a lot more refined and definitely used less juice. No doubt it was the insulation etc rather than the engine itself that made the old girl quieter though?
Its got 40k on it, and I'm basically looking for a good 15 years out of it at least, cant wait to start getting it kitted out for a bit of off roading and camping etc.
Is there anywhere with definitive articles on mods like suspension and stuff on the www, or is it just a case of searching the forums?
This is what it replaced, still looked good, but sadly it was teabagged underneath!

I like that i do
How much was it if you dont' mind me asking?
Yeah, it could, my mates a painter, might get him to do it to match the body.
I'm not gonna reverse this one right into the sea any more, basically my previous 4x4s have all been under a grand and a case of get a few years out it and get another, now I have this which is totally solid, I hope to keep it that way, I will either rope or winch the boats into the water now.
I payed 6½

Off roading and towing, the trailers will now be getting dipped in the sea on the end of a long rope from now on!
I was thinking of modulars with bfg AT's, but a couple of guys I know swear by MT's, even for lots of road use.

Nice motor mate, is it an original CSW? Looks to be a bit of chopping and riveting going on around the bottom of the rear doors, haven't seen this before?
Just wondered if it might have been a normal van body tub cut out to take doors and seats, wouldn't be the first one I've seen done? If they're supposed to be like that my apologies however, still a nice 110!
