A quick update guys: This is the new truck. It has a 300Tdi lump with matched autobox and ARB air lockers etc. A real nice bit of kit. I'm very happy indeed!

I was going to use it for flower pots:D At that price !!!;)

We left messages and texts a few days ago but the guy never returned our calls.

Thanks Kev, good info. I'll follow your lead once I get something worth using:o

Down in sunny Bristol so not much further from home if I tried!! :(

This is the type of info that's invaluable to me! I still need to prod the thing but I'm now thinking of chatting with the guy when I return home in 9-days (:)) to pay a visit and see it in person! It's a long way but often I find that distance needs to be negated for the right vehicle. I'm...

Thanks good mate - I like your style. The utter ****e-thing is probably more applicable once I ahve finished :-)

I think the bottom line for me is that I either buy something which is modded and I can prod (plus verify its usage and build quality) or build upwards from ground zero. The other alternative is to join the Fiat-500 Owners Club and add 3 stickers and a set of dice to attain the title of owning...

Thanks John, I joined the Devon 4x4 forum last night (great club BTW) only to find that prices are no cheaper there either. That being said there are Landys available at the lower end of the cost spectrum but I can't put those knackered old things on my driveway; the wife just wouldn't allow...

That's great news! If you can pull it off.

I'm on the edge of my seat - good luck Joe.

Yep, you're right guys, only fools rush in and I should know better than to jump feet first before I look.;) I think it's a no for now.

Funny that, that’s exactly what his mother said so I wouldn't worry; she disowned him years ago. He uses the forum to get his own back on society plus anyone with a post count of less than 1000. Right Ginge! I think I have found my perfect home on this forum.:fencing::)

I expected some great points and I think I've had the full spread today - thanks guys. My dilema is that I'm looking at eBay every night and I know what I want, (a Landy dressed as a Tonka Truck:)), but I just can't find it. A decent Landy sets you back a good few quid while some of the...

It was built approx 2000-miles ago according to the owner and has been used as an off-road play thing and as a local runabout. The MOT has expired but the guy will have a new one put on prior to the purchase. The underneath is in super condition by all accounts (his words) but I have not...

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of buying this but what is it worth; you guys know your stuff whereas I'm still learning the force!! This is my final check before I throw my hard earned cash away::confused: The advert price was GBP6,950 The body is not great (that's the nature of the...

I've not had my email returned yet so I can't say anything. Service is a bit naff!:mad:

Very useful info indeed, GD;) I certainly wasn't aware of that bit of info.

So you remove the cat and get more miles. How about the quality and pollutant ratios of the gases once the cat is removed.

I'm just pleased I bought a V8 - it saves me having to worry about such things;)
