what is main difference between m.o.d and civilian

<< < (4/4)

Eightpot:
You've pretty much covered it there -
They usually have a bonnet mounted spare, especially if soft top. Soft tops have a roll hoop fitted.  Steering is not usually power assisted.
Sliding side windows, not wind up.  No carpet!

Fuel tanks are the same as civvy, unless older s111 with under seat tanks.

Well maintained?? depends - they are thrashed silly, but certainly when I picked mine up from the MOD (it looked a total wreck and was hanging from the forks of a JCB) it was mint underneath.  Totally rust free chassis, recon engine, new brake servo and master cylinders, new brake lines, ball joints etc etc, but on the down side the cogs were nearly falling out of the transfer box.  When they do get fixed though, they seem to be fixed well.

I've been well impressed with mine - simple, fun and very capable off road.

cheers all, good stuff the ffr with all the batteries ect sounds good especially if you can fit an inverter onto it and have power for things in the back!
they seem like a good starter kit so to speak rather than getting an old farmers rot box for a small fortune then spending another small fortune on getting it road worthy never mind any improvements.think i might have a look around if i sell my disco not sure whether to go for 110 or 90 yet might go for a soft top 90 for summer i have already got roof and sides so could change in the winter.thanks every one glyn.
