HDAV Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Know of a 3.1 big horn import lab tropper going for £900 I think looks a tidy bit of kit (from the side in the picture lol) sounds like a lot of motor for the money.

bornfree Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have a 3.1 swb for fox shooting. Bought as an mot failure 5 years ago and just used off road. Absolutely brilliant truck very good off road rarely need to use the 4 wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I had one of the early 2.8 intercoolers, had it from new, it was a work vehicle on road building contracts, couldnt fault it. Probably the best one they did, bullet proof They then used the engine in the Diahatsu Four Track...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningDJC Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 2.8 and 3.1's were good trucks, avoid the 3 litre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 All are old now. Think they made the last in 2003. I had an Insignia LWB 3.0 auto and it was fast and towed well, plus I didn't have any problems with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
