  • Newbie saying hello!

    Hi' new to the forum and have just bought my 1st Surf!!

    1990 (H) LN130 2.4 TD
    Burgundy over grey
    Chrome alloys with 31's

    and ...unfortunately the RED interior!!

    Wanted one since 2000 when I drove a de-restricted 3lt TD as an Police Escort vehicle whilst serving in Macedonia and Kosovo!

    Already picked up a few pointers and advice, maybe I'll get to contribute something useful in the fullness of time....just don't hold your collective breath waiting for it.

    If you see me round and about Stevenage give me a wave, not promising I'll wave back mind..depends who's looking!

    Great forum hope to stay a while!

                    Thanks for the welcome folks!

                    KOI' I only visit Stevenage, I live and work in Henlow but I'll keep an eye out for you!

                    To be honest the interior's not that bad now the seat covers are on..I think I'm going to enjoy owning the Surf..if it passes the MOT tomorrow morning!

                    In the last 18 mths it's had the head done
                    Rear window sorted
                    4 x shocks
                    rear springs
                    radiator
                    recon turbo
                    tyres

                    and today it had a new steering idler and back box and pipe!

                    Next job is the 65 bell!

                    Thanks again for the welcome!!

                            Altho most of my interior is now converted to grey...
                            Not finished yet but getting there....

                            haha are u mad????
                            Used to give me headaches....
                            Still does as it is now a subtle blend of red and grey

                            Was just thinking that haha
                            Mine has the bell too tho and I have found a cheap and easy solution....

                            Bigger and louder speakers and then just turn the radio till about 22...
                            Can't hear the bell anymore....
                            One day at the time I guess..

                              Well, she sailed through the MOT this morning!

                              Got my insurance quote for £252 from the link on here..(don't know if thats goo, bad or indifferent?)

                              Found out I already know a member here from a completely unrelated forum!

                              Now looking forward to enjoying being amongst the ranks of the real 4x4 owners!
