Title: Bought this today.
Post by: karloss on September 08, 2005, 21:57:30: Shopping list is a very short one, it consists of an off side front indicator lense and nothing else. This one will be staying shiny side up. T'old lass would get upset if I started off roading in anything else. It will be used as a recovery vehicle at some point tho' I'm sure. :lol:
Anyone wanna buy a van?

Post by: datalas on September 09, 2005, 08:19:26: how many miles is "more than the starship enterprise" ? 300 series disco's, particularly early ones are quite long lasting in my families experience.

Just over 300K on dad's now.

Remarkably rust free actually Kev. The chassis is like a 2 year old motor, was waxoiled from new and then at regular intervals. The service history and reciepts is like three bibles worth. Just a bit grubby inside. Think the last owner was a bit of a gardener! Muck and leaves in the boot and stuff!

You leave my trailer alone! It only bust coz I filled the poor thing with enough top soil to sink a battle ship! The land rover never noticed the weight, not even when the trailer wheels were pointing in opposite directions!!!!
Got the new one locally from an old boy that knocks them up.
