No matter what you get? you will take ages to sort out the way you want it? Go for it you know you want too? :lol:

TUFFTEE:
There is always Loads of info and help on tap here!
And maybe parts if required! 8)  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

go and have a look. make sure you feel around the boot carpet area.feel for sqealchy metal. that and the rear crossmember are favs for going. not terminal but it is a few days work......i paid £600 for mine and it is loads better than a £7000 shogun  :wink:

I dunno what you are wanting it for but the clunk on the gearbox as the auction says is a pretty standard thing, mine does it, its the shaft between the gearbox and transfer box.

Using oil would worry me but never sure about oil consumption with diesels.  A rev up once the engine is hot would tell you, look for smoke.

Be warned about the interior, its a Sonar Blue one and replacement bits in the colour are a sod to get hold of !

Plastic on seatbelt buckles is not an MOT failure unless they no longer latch.

Central locking broken, proberbly the drivers door sensor or a wire off.

I would also check rear floor, specially above the fuel tank and the seam at the back.  Swivel balls, look for lots of pitting on the chrome.  Also rear wheel arch corners (they collect mud), try pulling them see if they are still attached to  the body.  And its a bit difficult to tell but I think those are the horible tube steel steps that are fitted, they have a knack of rusting through right in the middle so collapse when stood on.

For £500 though you would expect to do some work.  I spent £1700 on mine (see below) its a V8 and I have spent very little money on it and its 3 years older than the one you are looking at.

bargain ! i paid £700 for mine on a 'G', 200 tdi 3 dr,needs a bit of tlc.mine needs the rear crossmember doing and a few bits and bobs,im gonna usemine for offroading and green laning,and ive found the members on here really helpful,i think its worth the money and they look better than the same 'REG' shoguns that are about.

i gave mine a test drive and used "ALL" the gears "ON " the road,to make sure they all worked well,and i did a few emergeny stops for the brake test,that nearly solved the crossmember problem too.shouldnt say that really.anyway
Good luck
