Recent punt at an auction. Runs fine but has lots off addons - lights, winch, 2 way radios, roof rack ladder etc..... Lots of bits I dont understand. See www.csp-partnership.co.uk/landie for some close ups of my current problems!
Welcome to the max bid on toenail fungus via eBay. £0.001.
Hopefully the last service records will show all equipment added still functioning correctly. Bet your insurance must love you.

Auction purchase; Looked after by inhouse team I guess. MOTs for the past decade have been faultless. But absolutely no service records, but a pristine user manual (and radio code) but no key security code. Clearly a "no comeback" sale. But it was cheap - not as cheap as your nail fungus remover - try diesel and hydraulic oil, rub it on 9 times a day for three years. The hydrcarbon poison will kill you before the fungus does!

Yes, the winch winches, the LR drives, but .....
 
Insurance - about £400 p.a. - I am an OAP fart, driven forever, never had an accident, not even a speeding ticket. Goodness knows how that is the case ;-)
 
Welcome..whats your plans for it?...
I have a croft - a very small farm. I think the LR will spend its time hauling things about in the peat. Time to time it will be on the road with a wee digger in tow. The tool boxes and storage will be fine for hiding the haggis as they hatch. The winch may just save me getting the tractor to rescue the LR when it bogs - my peat bogs are deep. I have managed to get my wee fergie down to its belly on occasions - and a week later you cant see the marks! The old disco did fine until the rust took over ;-(
 
Nice looks like a pto driven winch!
PTO drives a PUMPand the pump drives the PTO. The PTO is not a "driect from front of engine". But I am unaware of the different makes and models. Any clues where to look. My google skills dont show anything relevant.
 
As a fellow Scot can you send some hatchlings down here to the Algarve could make a fortune here with the very regulated game season for the hunters...lol..
I can, but I suspect that the import/export regulations into Europe will be terrible. I cant even put them in over the Irish Border since Europe has strange specific rules on cold meat and on sausages. I expect the border guards wont understand the fact that sleeping haggis dont come under the sausage regulations.
