    Morning you lot!

    Thanks for that, the AFT was tested on Friday, less that 1% water and looked ok apparently but I'll get it replaced. Transfer box and difs will be worked on next Friday - shes also going in to get the rear torsion bar anchor point beefed up and filters changed all round. I better get myself a...

    Morning you lot!

    Yep, one of those :) Did some of the green lanes around the Devils Punchbowl today, lots of deep water and washed out tracks - this thing just takes everything in its stride. Most of the squeaks have gone now though noticed at certain roughness sound at a particular rev range just before she...

    Morning you lot!

    Count me in - either or both :) Nah it was just my insecurity of having the truck going to the garage and coming out in bits and bad news :)

    Morning you lot!

    Right then chaps, just had the news from the garage. Dropped her in this morning as I wanted a spanner I trust to go over her, she came out on top all apart from a seized rear transmission bolt (they could not check the fluids here) and the rear torsion bar front mounting is corroded so needs a...

    Morning you lot!

    The Hope no - I hear they have a bloody good beer festival now and then, sounds like your local Jacob. Did a few reccies tonight of some the the BOAT's around Ashtead/Dorking area, everyone of them has concrete bollards or a gate, going to have to head out - Where in east Sussex do you...

    Totally forgot the surprise of the day, had to sort out the road tax, was ready for the £580 slap but the system only charged me £325 :)

    Morning you lot!

    Thanks Starcruiser will have to try out a roof tent, buggered if I'm sleeping on the ground! Just got home after 1.5 hours going round the M25, not the best drive home but the LC purred - no issues. Oil is low so that't the first job, in to the garage for an oil change and most likely an other...

    Morning you lot!

    Thanks Andy, will definitely be popping up to see you all to say thanks and to meet you all in person, do you usually do a day out or camping. One of the reasons we got the 100 is so we can go camping, I hate sleeping in tents hence why we got the 100, I can sleep in the back :) Without all...

    Morning you lot!

    Just put a deposit down on her, used my credit card for peace of mind, now at least if anything crazy happens or if my garage states that there are any serious issue I'm covered.

    Morning you lot!

    OK, made the call, His lowest price was 6400 which I'm ok with - asked if this has any warranty with it and he stated pay the asking price £7800 and I'll give you a 30 day warranty. Put a really bad taste in my mouth, but it is what it is. I think I need a pro to take a look.

    Morning you lot!

    Morning you lot!

    Morning all, Had a long fight with my self last night, the 100 we have seen ticks all the right box's, the price is ok and I think from what you have all said (really appreciate the help and knowledge) it looks ok, it drives fine and all electrics work. So the plan I have is to purchase the...

    Aye - if I had that cash I would already be on the train up! Its an amazing example, that's for sure.

    Morning you lot!

    Its perfect apart from the manual - wife won't drive it, she put her foot down. My fault really as we have been hiring auto 4x4's in Brasil a lot recently and now there is no route back to manuals on big cars...

    Morning you lot!

    Thanks Frank, I think I'm just not used to it - did not frighten me as such and I could of stepped on the peddle harder - might pop back over in the week. Thanks Clive, Mint you say - the others must have been rotters! I have seen images of shocks like that before but quite surprised they can...

    Morning you lot!

    Thanks, It might just be me, Its just been through its MOT so would have thought this would have failed it.

    Morning you lot!

    Thanks @AndycruiserguyLomas, I did check the rear mounts and rear bumper area - all looked sound. Do you think 6K would be a fair price, the interior and mileage are good, took the wife for a ride in it and she felt all special high up :) - its going to be a steep learning curve for her as shes...
