Nice looking toy, tho...... (Don't tell anyone I said that!!!)

Not any more . . . Afraid I killed it . I would have liked to get another , but how much would a 3.0 TD Surf cost with that spec.
I spent a lot trying to keep the surf going ,but it was money down the drain as I never found anyone capable of maintaining it.
That's the main reason I ended up with a LR as even tho' they do break , I can get it looked after no problem . Also parts are cheap and readily available.
If I lived near Tony , maybe it would have been different.

Nope , had 2 and sold them before they turned to rust in the garage.

Don't feel guilty...


Its worth it just for the toys. And no more pain looking for bits... when everybody makes them for these all the time.

Looks good... interested to know what you think of those tyres... they were on a shortlist... for my next set...

Half of your old Surf still lives here!

Good luck with it, be gentle on those diffs and half shafts!

Haven't had a chance to try them offroad yet , but the self-cleaning capabilities are fantastic. Always wanted 33's but maybe they're a bit big on the road.

Why does it say the item has been relisted? :dunno:

Sorry , meant to say ....... I have been impressed with the lack of noise . I had the Colway MT on the surf and they used to drum .
Now bear in mind the interior on this is stripped for competition and I have no radio or carpet etc. I find them almost quiet.
I think they claim low road noise on the adverts.
I'll try and take a few pics.

Think he tried to sell it on fleabay at least 3 times . If you click on the re-list it takes you to his next ad and you can see the price falling . He started off hoping for £7000 ( The insured value is 9K )
I bought it after Xmas as a private sale

Gave the tyres a bit of a test today . Pretty good , but I wasn't impressed with the lateral grip . I don't know if I'd have bought them if they weren't with the car.
