It's time for 'Arnie' to go, so first dibs to the forum, as I know he will go to a good home.
156k miles, MOT until 13th June 2019
Low Emission Zone compliant as he's a genuine CSW
Super comfy Range Rover front seats, one exmoor high back second row with two standard seats.
Full service just done.
lockable storage box in rear
towbar.
This is the best driving defender I've had - and he is number 6.
Chassis has been undersealed at some point, and this is coming off, but underneath its in good condition.
I've had him for 3 years, and he's my daily drive, and even though I'm a bit paranoid, I've changed things before they became a problem. Here's the list:
Radiator / oil cooler and pipes (pipes had a small leak, rad had tiny pipe to expansion tank broken off)
Rear quarter chassis (okay, this was needed, as some previous owner had welded repairs at the lowest point, and not put drain holes in.....)
Fuel tank at the same time (leaking)
Water pump and P gasket (unknown vintage)
alternator (noisy)
auxiliary Belt tensioner and belt (squeaking)
Braided brake hoses (because I could)
Coolant hoses (perished)
Timing belt (unknown change date)
Clutch (too heavy)
Rear shocks (rubbers perished)
235/85 16 General Grabbers and black steel modulars (to replace alloys, spacers and mud tyres)
Next jobs? There are always next jobs.....
NSF outrigger needs replacing / welding (MOT advise).
PAS pump is a bit noisy.
tub cappings (rusty - no water leaks as silicon sealed)
As for the price? £6995
