i have not driven a 109 since 1984 but still have fond memories and the major plus is there is actually room for things in the back

I have finally gone mad and am going to look at a series 3 109 pickup in the morning. Will doubtless be annoying you nice people in this section if it is as good as vendor claims and i buy it.

Back in the murky distant past we used to get lots of owners bringing in landrovers asking us to check their none standard diesel engines as they were disappointed with performance following fitment of perkins/isuzu.toyota/daihatsu etc. invariably we would find the standard "pea-shooter" series...

high horsepower and reliability from marine engines is made more achievable by pretty much unlimited availability of coolant
