Check the exhaust hanger - if it's in roughly the same place as the 88" it could be assisting in noises. Mine used to kick out of gear on overrun (box replaced) but now sounds like it's about to fall apart when I press the clutch to change gear.

There's another one on buy now in Halifax, but it's a 3 :(

Not buying this one then John?

He's tubed the hole & braced it too - as Dudley says, it should be OK.

I'm sure the front cross member was still there? The PAS was off a Defender, surely it'd go through the same hole as the Series?

Looks like it was a twin bed with the front seats folding down to make part of the bed. Units on both sides at the rear.

He's got it moving and fitted the replacement tyres brakes are knackered (ish) and hand brake will need checking. Just have to see who wins now!

Cheers.

I'm going over on Saturday afternoon. What's the general condition of the mechanicals? And how "straight" is the seller?

Have made contact with the seller so we shall see!

I'm half tempted. Free reign to alter the inside, it's already lost the original engine so I can TDi with impunity and PAS for SWMBO. And it's local! Downside is the roof, but as it's not a safari type should be able to get that done at some point if needed, but does allow a full rack to be fitted.
