Patrol Camper
Alright folks,
Just joined, so thought I'd say a hello to fellow owners out there. I've a UK '04 Patrol ZD30 with a camper conversion, which I've had for a couple of years now. It's only on about 40k and I've done a lot of Uk trips + a trip out to Switzerland. Hopefully lots more adventures to come. I wanted to include a pic but not sure copy & paste is going to work...  Anyhow, it, like many, was a former Red Cross job, so needed comprehensive re-wiring when I got it! There's been a lot of ongoing jobs to do, but my major worry at present is underbody corrosion  Unfortunately I wanted to attend to it after purchase (when it was a lot more reasonable!) but it's just not been possible (thanks covid)  Anybody happen to have any suggestions of underbody restorers in the Sussex/Kent area that they know of/or have used? Look forward to chatting on the forum more

Hi Rick, thanks - coincidentally enough I'm just up the road from you in Rye!

Yes close enough to pop over sometime, we can then stick your motor on the hoist and give it a once over, PM me for my phone number, Rick
