That is really the nub of it. I know that for farm work I need an industrial vehicle. My old man however cannot grasp that and insists that smaller is better, hence he drives a jimny. An example a 20acre field needs some thistles knocking down, we have a tractor mounted pasture topper for this work so I get sent out with a scythe and the topper stays in the shed. I can't win.

Still I got it fixed and it starts runs and goes well.

So I sent the old boy if to the main dealer for land rover in ripon today to see if he fits better in a puma hard top. He does so he was chatting to the sales bot about a part ex. Now bear in mind my car is a 98 90 truck cab and this is against a 58 90 hard top. They offered 1200 quid! That means depreciation of 6800 quid in two years! Robbing gits. Shame on them. A similar car to mine was available at 7g online. I think mine may yet have life in it yet.

lambert:
Well it is getting booked in on Monday to have a very thorough inspection by a land rover specialist who we have not really used before, the idea being to get a list of what it needs to bring it up to a standard and to evaluate tha work against its value before and after. Assuming that the inspection is positive there is talk of  making it into a station wagon to improve the available space and to maximize any potential profit if we do decide to sell it on either now or later.
