Iridum Sat Phone
Tetra
VHF
etc......

problems so far previous owner had front airlockers on why driving in water over 1.4 meters and sucked water into front axle.

this destroid the airpump for the lockers and was causing the front axle to leak oil, this was fixed by new pump and just changing oil in the axle

also ha new front wheel bearings fitted as the other ones where destroid, been told that the seals on them need to be replaced every year to prevent the water and sand getting into them, when beeing used for these extream conditions

What a smart looking motor, It really looks good, I've seen other Icelandic Patrols they all seem to be the buisness too.

Pity we don't seem to get that sort of quality over here.

Now as I'm looking for a Patrol, that would be perfect, I don't suppose you want to send it to the UK for me to play with do you?

Welcomne to the club BTW.
