Steer clear, blokes a dreamer.

If rust is visable on outside of front wheel arches, then it's probably riddled with it, and a sunroof model of that age u can be sure the cills are about to fall off lol

Seriously I'd not be paying more than £700 and that's only if its mechanically excellent

Avoid, keep looking

Walk away rapid, over priced rust heap by the sound of it. You'd be better looking elsewhere. David.

Welcome aboard

You are bound to find niggles with a motor of that age so don't worry too much. Loads of advice on here and downloads that'll show you how to do things.

Check the sills towards the rear wheel arches and rear seat belt mounts inside rear arches too.

Often the 4wd hasn't been used or used correctly so the front hubs can cause a few issues but not that bad reall.

Mines done 141k on an R plate, others have done more too so no issues with the miles.

A bit steep price though.

Way over priced. It's about £1200

Don't buy one with a sunroof

Check for rust in arches and on cills

Just bought my '02 for £2k it's pretty FKN tidy, 140k on it but it drives like new

eBay and auto trader classified is your friend, you could get a nice '01 to '03 for 2k if you look about and barter as its a buyers market out there

welcome,

listen you will learn

[kwondo]

welcome and i am sure someone will be alonmg soon with some good advice, just to keep you going a few known common faults to check, rust in the front wings, just above the pastic trim, rear seat belt anchor points tend to rust, wheel bearings easy to change, see the download section. Where abouts are you in s.wales,

[firebobby]

Welcome, I have just sold my 2001 with 77000 for £2500, have another look around, there are plenty out there.
These are great trucks but as already stated, they need to have some tlc and they will go on and on and on.......
