indeed, its very solid as well in the bulkhead and chassis areas, which is what won me, cos if they are solid there and run fine then there isnt any problems, only issues is as you say the engine, but they can be bought for a pittance these days!  Gonna go outside now and do the pictures of the engine.

Rangie3.0LtrDan:
ok Hobbit, the engine pictures are now in me gallery :D  They are under the heading of My New Toy.

hobbit:
You dont need another engine, just some anciliaries

also if you remove the 24v system out and also the fittings in the motor they will normally bring you some cash back in for them, from people wanting to restore them in  another vehicle

The basic mechanical block is the same

Alternator, coil, plugs, leads, starter off the top of my head, and change all the bulbs throughout the thing

I think there is a bit more than this though, just cant remember where the articles was to do this

Also if you have a sankey trailer all you have to do is change the 12v bulbs for 24, and they work with it too

Looks like a 5 bearing engine in there good reliable lump

Rangie3.0LtrDan:
cool, there is 12v towing electrics fitted to it, there is what i think is a transformer behind the passenger seat.  will get some piccies of that after.  i dont know if i am keeping it yet, i would ideally prefer a 110 v8 (similar fuel consumption with a little more grunt!)
