Regrettably for sale is my 1985 ex army 90. There has been no expense spared on this vehicle and she is a ready to go off road animal. Selling her only because she just isnt getting used.
shes a 3.5L Santana V8 with LT85 Santana "indestructible" gearbox, and 1.22 ratio discovery transfer box for slightly higher gearing in Hi-range.
12 months MOT, 6 months tax.
Some of the extras on it include:
Heavy duty "C" reg army chassis
army style indicators and sidelights.
Battery islolator
Winch electrics isolator
fuel cut off switch
265/75/16 insa turbo special track tyres on silver modular rims
terrafirma tubular winch bumper
brand new never used 12,000lb champion winch and wander lead
upgraded HID headlamps
headlamp protectors
headless teddy mascot (!)
black chequer plating on bonnet and wings
RAGE bucket seats
6x9" speakers and a good sony stereo (The subwoofer in the photos is NOT included in the sale)
CB radio
tubular rock and tree sliders
nato hitch
britpart +2" shock absorbers
terrafirma +2" lift springs
terrafirma tubular shock turrets
terrafirma hook type dislocation cones
heavy duty double cranked reinforced trailing arms
rear bumperettes
side exit exhaust
I have receipts for when the gearbox was given a check over by a time served land rover technician in 2011 (lay shaft bearing replaced), reciepts for when the clutch was replaced in 2012, and for the radiator re-core in 2011.
There is no rust on the chassis/underneath, only a very tiny spot on the bulkhead by the drivers door but this is only surface rust and welcome to any inspection.
I will also throw in all the spares Ive kept here for this vehicle: 2x replacement heads, transfer box, 2x 10 spline diffs, water pump, oil pump and god only knows what else.
Bad bits:
Windscreen is cracked on the passenger side - does not affect drivers vision whatsoever
she uses a bit of water (as alot of V8s do)
Steering box leaks fluid but a replacement is included in the sale - I just havent had time to fit it
I have spent thousands on this vehicle, I will not let it go for peanuts so please do not ask. You are getting ALOT of landrover for your money!
£3000 or straight swap for a tidy Honda 600RR

Seen dirty cars with 'if only my wife was this dirty' hand written. Always makes me chuckle.
Especially when someone else writes "she is" underneath it!!

Bought a satnav (2nd hand) off a bloke on here. It doesn't work. He told me to send it back to tomtom.
There's plenty of idiots about!

For arguement a sake say your wagon is limited to 50mph and the one in front is only managing to do 49.5mph. If you were to do 50mph for 500 miles it'd take you 10 hours, if you sat at half a mile an hour slower (ie 49.5mph) for the entire 500 mile journey it'd take you.....10 hours and 6 minutes. This is pretty much a worst case situation, the higher your limiter the smaller the percentage difference in speed and the less time tou save. A huge difference I think not.
.
Well mine does 57mph (92kmh) and over the average week of 2500/3000km, the half an hour/45mins saved could mean the difference between making the final delivery or not, and hence being able to get home, or havin to stay out for the weekend and tip it Monday, or whatever
Absolutely no way on gods earth would I sit behind a 50mph truck for hours or days on end, I'd crack up!

Only on PW can you ask for advice on summer rape, and not get judged, a restraining order, or arrested!!

Where in Germany are they banned off the road during those hours?should be like Germany and ban them off the roads between 6am till 6pm. and not going into the outside lane when duel carriageway..
Riding along two them blocking the lanes, half of them think they have a sports car..
An yeah, ban trucks off the roads in the daytime... Good idea! You will soon be crying when your local gun shop runs out of cartridges because they are only open 9-5!

When you're driving up to 500 miles a DAY, for 6 days a week, that half a mile an hour can make a lot of difference!

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I may have shot myself in the foot abit as my wife wants to know the price of each gun
Will it matter when you're dead?!

Leave it in the shed. You'll never use it!

You ought to do the cbt before your theory. Some people like the 'idea' of riding a bike, but when it actually comes down to getting on 2 wheels, many find that it isn't really for them, by which time youll have wasted money doing a theory test!
