Good looking truck Pom. Excellent colour choice! Now just enjoy your toy. Plenty of fun to be had around Worcs - I was brought up there. If only one could drive the ridge of the Malverns. The number of times I've thought of doing just that at night.

Mod number 1 : left it with the polish valeters to get the sheep Censored out of it!

2: ordered tube side steps to replace the already rusting pieces of crap. F*cks sake landrover why cant you use galvanised bolts ? brummie clowns.

..more to follow

Nice wheels, surprised it hasn't had any tweeks already. What's the history Pom? Obviously been a work horse (with the added benefit of sheep Censored included) Laughing . Tidy looking.

only done 11k, has a few bramble marks but its former home was in the wilds!

The inside is mint especially so after the valet. Kids really like the bench seats in the back (they have seatbelts).

Also found more rust, the tube bar on top of the engine connected to the injectors is completely rusted. I didnt realise just how bad the build standards have got at LR. Looks like waxoil will have to bump up to the top of the mod list.

If thats the one on the right of the engine as you look at it - dont worry they all do it from about 170 miles 1 month old mine started

Oh and its a ford engine not land rover Thumbs Up Mike

very nice looking truck...

a quick check underneath to re-clip the electrical leads and make sure the tow electric socket behind the plastic panel are all good

a set of satin black ZU's would look good too
