Extras for Cheap

Sounds like my old wagon, now you've got to "Pimp your Ride"

Towbar £154 from:
http://www.towbarwarehouse.co.uk/tow...?VehicleID=379

Sorry, used to be £125,

Central locking £10 should be able to find on ebay, just post if you have trouble fitting, I'm an engineering gimp and managed to fit towbar/central locking and new stereo easily.

Check your coolant has been drained flushed and drained again, if not, do it, or set aside £1500 for the inevitable.

Have fun

Thats why. LR electrics will ruin you for life!! I need toys and switches in cars, so steer clear of anything made in England!!

[Chillitt]

it is indeed at cubbington.... why?

[laser_jock99]

it is indeed at cubbington.... why?

Looked at that one the other day (it's only about 1/4 mile from my house!). Looks okay (for the asking price). I didn't get to hear it running or look under the hood as there was no one at the garage.

However I did notice a bit of oil leaking out which will need sorting- did the garage have anything to say about this? I'd get them to put it on the ramps and take a look before you drive it away. Might just be spillage from a recent oil change. I would certainly ask them to check it out at least.

Other things I noticed on my 5 minute inspection- tyres look okay, suspension okay (no butt sag), underbody- not been unsealed yet, bit of surface rust underneath- could do with a clean down & Waxoyl, body- plenty of good scratches, has probably been offroaded (but hey- that's they're built for!). Oh- and you do have a spare tyre it's padlocked & chained underneath!

When are due to collect?
