Re: Non fronty new toyOne too many noughts methinks!
It was once said that the Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.
Re: Non fronty new toyGood luck with the battle, fingers crossed you get to keep both
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
Re: Non fronty new toyin a strange way, i kinda like them. Dont know if id have the bottle for that kind of mileage though, unless i was getting it for for next to nothin

Re: Non fronty new toyNice looking truck, the mileage might be gallactic but if they are motorway miles and the motor has been service properly you shouldn't have any major issues, just stay on top of coolant and oil changes.
From the photo it looks as though it has had a lift and bigger tyres! If not the Deli site recons you can fit range rover front springs on the rear to acheive a 2" lift, tweek the torsion bars up on the front and you cn get 265/75R16's under it. If I can find an L300 manual for the right money I'll be following in your footsteps so to speak, for info purposes the L400 (yours) in SWB has a wheel base of 110 inches same as a Landy 110, the LWB L400 is somewhere around 118 inches.I want the L300 as it has an 88 inch wheel base and with the right diffs you can get lockers. With a 2.5 inch lift it can also squeaze 265/75R16's under it with out having to do much in the way of trimming. Down side is it is onlya 2.5ltr engine producing around 85 bhp. The 2.8 ltr in the L400 is circa 125 bhp. Anyway enough of my ramblings, good luck with it and keep the picks coming of what you are doing by way of mods and outings on the lanes.

Re: Non fronty new toyaye super high mileage but she starts and drives better than my pals with have the milage ! Looked over the engine and it's nice and clean , new glow plugs , pump seals been done so I'm happy ! Got her for £700 so nice and cheap ( I work on a £75 a month for my cars , ie if I pay £750 I want 10+ minths from it lol )
Re: Non fronty new toyAt 700 you got a bargin, should be a 1 or a 2infront of that depending on spec and condition. Good-on-ya and hope you more than your moneys worth which I'm sure you will.
