Shame, that's almost exactly what I'll be looking for to replace my 95 but it's not quite the right time. I'm sure it'll sell well

 

[Paul]

No way, will make someone a very good truck, tons of hard to find extras on there.

 

[Andrew Brierley]

Looks a cracking truck. Pse will you post some pics of the interior....

 

[Julian]

Will do, probably won't get them up until tomorrow

 

[Julian]

OK, some internal pics

Maybe £12,000 is a bit to rich, but it is a well prepared truck, and I have spent a fair bit of money on it

So how about £11,000 ovno

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

does it have a rear e-locker?

 

[Julian]

Yes, it does have the e locker at the back, I thought all the diesels did?
So it can be completely locked up front, centre and rear

 

[silvercruiser]

Damn it does look a nice truck and im in the same situation, if it was this time next year i may well be looking to upgrade but ive got to remortgage first and pay my parents some deposit money back.

Good luck with the sale im sure it wont be round long.

 

[Toyondarocks]

Where are you located?

 

[silvercruiser]

At a complete guess i would say alverstoke

 

[Julian]

Hi, I am in Alverstoke, which is right on the south coast of Hampshire, near Portsmouth

Just out of interest whats the economy like on these? I would be interested in a change over my collie but would like economy to stay the same...do you see 30mpg on a motorway run?

 

[Julian]

I wouldn't have thought the economy would be as good as a 'collie, I know the engine is over a litre larger and I believe it it is a fair bit bigger and heavier. I usually get about 27-28 to the gallon on runs

 

[SpinDrift]

I think it actually might be slightly better. I havent really checked the mpg of my hunderd, but my '97 Colorado used to do around 24 mpg so on the basis of your mpg it is better. The 100 is great. It really is a different vehicle in terms of comfort, power and ride.

Reinhard can you stop with these comments! it is not helping with my burning desire to own a 100 series

 

[Beau]

fancy a swap with my collie, and some cash on top?

Sorry, thanks but no thanks

Is this still available?

Sometimes you have to *make* it the right time.

 

[Garfieldus]

Does anyone know if Julian sold his 100?
