Might be a while before I finally get my hands on one, they're very hard to find (decent ones!)

Thanks again Marjon, I was getting a bit disheartened about buying one. I think it's doable, I just need to be on it with security and insurance.

Thanks, I think I HAVE found THE one...I'm just making sure I can keep it as safe as can be now. It's hard to know when to make that decision and just BUY it, but Id rather get the right one! Good to hear tat you can keep it on the street...I think where I am it'll be okay, as long as its not...

Thanks for all the advice ♥️

Yeah that is my plan. Nothing too fancy, just something to potter about in. I'm factoring in Deterrents/security etc in cost. Our street is on a relatively steep hill so they can't roll it away if they can't steer it.

So do the normal deterrents not work? (Steering wheel off, Pedal lock, Immobiliser, tracker) I really dont want to be put off buying one!

What about fitting a Ghost Immobiliser? Or are you basically saying nothing will stop someone who has the will to steal it? Surely some Landys are street parked and not locked away in garages?

Built as a "1991" model, this 90 Pick-up, soft top or hard top was finished in the Solihull, UK factory with RHD steering, with a 200Tdi, 2.5, 4 Cylinder (Gemini), Diesel, 11L engine and a 5 Speed, LT77/LT77S/LT85, Manual gearbox. First registered 1st Aug 1991 Latest spec The vehicle is...

Well see this one point had me thinking buy a 'cheap' one that is in good enough nick, just to get the 'landy itch' off if you know what I mean. Then if it does get stolen its not such a big deal. Honestly dont want to resort to a 'pickup truck'....

Too old! Haha Just hit 50 unfortunately! So yes, Galv chassis and bulkhead. I've had pictures of the v5 and the vin no and engine no. All matches, which is a good thing. Obviously, when I go to view I will check in person. But it's a long journey for me (200 miles) to view, hence the reason I'm...

So I know the chassis is a galvanised one. Does this change the chassis number/and/or matching the v5?

Hey guys, so I've got my eyes on a landy. I'm here again asking for yet more advice! I know I know....I've only just joined and already annoying everyone! So what I want help with is this... It's been MANY MANY years since I've bought a second-hand car. How do I do all the checks on the vehicle...

Yep! Totally saving some more. putting a grand away a month if I can. If I have to wait another year before I buy I can survive....the Fiesta is still running for now 😂 even if I do hate it! I'll wait until the right one comes along at the right price. Thanks for the heads up though.

Very nice! Thanks for the heads up!

That is at least my hope! Ideally I'd spend less of course, but we will have to see what turns up!

A little out of my current price range! But a lovely...truly lovely example...

Down in Surrey, Budget up to 15k-ish...
