dkj7176 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've owned this for 5 years and my dad for 4 years before me, I was planning to keep it until it dies and have had the following work done - new head gasket - valves lapped and new valve stem seals - new timing belt, follower and water pump - new radiator - 4x new shocks - both from CV boots - Just had full service (engine, gearbox, transfer box oil, differentials all with molyslip additive included) Parts alone cost thick end of £450 All done at 105k miles as now done almost 108K - between me and my dad we'd done 80k mile in it and most of that was either M/way or A roads. LPG works fine tough perhaps running a little lean (pops if you boot down in a high gear at low revs) - I get about 22 mpg on LPD so equivalent of 40 (ish) mpg I've waxoiled it underneath every other year so pretty rust free, no major dents. It is a shoot bus but nothing wants doing Also has Grabber At with 6-7mm of tread and a full size spare that has never touched the ground. I've accumulated a few spares over the years too (just in case) which will be included e.g. exhaust manifold, alternator, thermostat Wife is insisting on a 7 seater so just bought a Shogun Looking for £675 located in Farnborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkj7176 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 2.2 16v, LPG tank is in the boot behind the rear seats - not sure what model.... it is it has aircon so fairly posh I guess. Yes there is an MOT until 20 something of May - for extra cost of MOT (about £40) I can take it through again I'm sure it will pass Also forgot to say had top and bottom ball joints done (both sides) for last MOT also had a new exhaust 2 years ago (£156 for complete system in cat !) and I sprayed it black with high temp paint and its stood up pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkj7176 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Wanted to show price drop didn't know how to update on the original post on page 2 of 'OTHER' sales INFO:- Also I've found all the MOT's from 2005 on when my dad bought it to prove mileage's (and the original newspaper advert !) - we bought it with 41k on the clock and has a FSH then, my dad was a mechanic and I do all my own work on cars so as said well looked after. Prefer it goes to a shooter therefore Price drop (lower than this and I may as well keep it for my son to bounce over the fields in !) I'm in Farnborough but if I can short out logistics could be Picked up from Malvern (between Hereford and Worcester) I've owned this for 5 years and my dad for 4 years before me, I was planning to keep it until it dies and have had the following work done - new head gasket - valves lapped and new valve stem seals - new timing belt, follower and water pump - new radiator - 4x new shocks - both from CV boots - Just had full service (engine, gearbox, transfer box oil, differentials all with molyslip additive included) Parts alone cost thick end of £450 All done at 105k miles as now done almost 108K - between me and my dad we'd done 80k mile in it and most of that was either M/way or A roads.
