around £1500 for a rebuild

But like all things, its down to how they've been treated.....personally I'd never buy an auto that has a towbar cos you never know what they've been up to. I looked at one a while ago when I bought the wifes and the blokes missus happily told me how it "easily tows a twin horsebox with two in it"......the look on his face was priceless, especially as I walked away laughing!

I suspect that was the last time he let her in on a viewing!

jezmondoveg · 11-12-2010, 21:08

Thought you would say that!..maybe if we get to a stage we have too much could get some your way,we did last year..but at current fuel prices to me its worth the price of diesel..so iam stockin up

may bring you some for your kind advise next time up your end of town..

zippy656 · 11-12-2010, 22:17

jezmondoveg · 17-12-2010, 23:08

The 4x4 search continues,had a dabble with toyota surf idea,looked all evening and found not one with ant kind of service history.jap or uk

for the same price you canget a realtidy looking t2 with history,it seems like even some low mile t2 dont list service,i would think if it had any they would say??

Blimey, that's a capital offence in our house

Must keep throwing old cupboard doors on the fire or else the bad spirits will come down the chimney and the mulled wine goes cold
