I have been searching since the morning on the forums and found the answers to most of my questions but 2 are still eluding me!
The back story..... I had my heart set on a UK 80 24v manual with difflocks, I was going to start looking for one seriously in May.
An acquaintance happened to mention that he has one for sale but its a 1993 4.2 VX Limited import Auto!!
It has a few issues that need sorting, patchy exhaust and a failed "rear diff oil seal" have been mentioned.
1-Is the rear diff seal expensive to sort out?
2-how much to have the BEB's replaced at a garage?
3-Is not having 3 difflocks that big a deal for occasional off roading?
On the plus side its got 170k km and has zero rust. Also comes with a full length ali roof rack and ladder and has BFG's all round.
Oh and its that silver over red 2 tone paintwork that I can't stand!
I thank the collective in advance
