And a total PITA the rest of the time.
OK £1500 quid buys half as much diesel if you pay for your mate's fuel :D
I can never understand this fixation on winches. I agree they can be handy but not that often surely to goodness. I have a Tirfor style winch I take out sometimes.

If its going to be your only vehicle, id get it serviced and sorted mechanically before fitting goodies....

Intended use: Everyday use, kayaking trips, camping trips.
I haven't done ANY off roading before, and would like to get into it. Sounds like my kind of thing.
I believe Bristol (which I think is nearest to me) do fun days and for £40 you get an hour instruction and then the rest of the day to yourself.
jamesledingham:
What sort of cost is TDi conversion?
Snooky:
TDi depends on who does it, where you source the engine from etc, you can get it fitted ready to go from some places for about £1200, but much cheaper to source your own then try and get a gathering of local owners to all come over and help fit, from what I have seen this seems to be the way to go, wish I had the money to do it.
But, if your engine is OK then no real need for now, just do as suggested and make sure it is all running sweet 1st, I did a basic service as soon as I got mine, oils, filters, glow plugs, grease etc for my own peace of mind, then drove it for a few weeks to see what else needed doing, the probalem soon show up... :wink:
