I bought the vehicle as it is with all the Modifications
done by previous owners, I have only
Used, Maintained and Repaired the vehicle.
I have owned it since 2011 and have only covered around 1700 miles, which is pretty low, it
only tends to get used for shooting
activities, carrying feed, water, straw, farming type articles and people to
places that are pretty far from maintained roads.
I normally drive a small van for my work as a daily runner
and cover a lot of miles, so the Land Rover would be too cosly in fuel if I
used it as my daily, therefore I need to get a vehicle that would do both tasks
and not be too heavy on fuel, i.e. something modern.
As much as I like my Landy I can't justify keeping it.
It has been pretty good as an Offroader it has not let me
down, it has been up, down and through places not for the faint hearted and it
has not got stuck ( I'm not talking about doing things like the Extreme Mud
Pluggers get up to).
It plodds along with lots of low end torque from the 2
1/4 Diesel, although as all of you will know it wont
break any land speed records, the journey is at a steady pace.
It has the following:

Bad Points
As with all Land Rovers of this age it will have the usual
scratches and scrapes
The usual level of wear to its components for its age.
The usual small drips that the Land Rovers feel that they
have to marks it's terrirory with.
The gear change between 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th is not as smooth as it first
came out of the factory it has been like this pretty much when I first took
ownership. It hasn't been an issue
because I've been driving it for nearly 4 years.
It has corrosion on the
Rear Tub Support Cross Members,
it is not an MOT issue being that it is just part of the Tub and not the
chassis
Good Points
It has a very recent MOT
It is a solid strong vehicle
It has been cared for and maintained to good standard
All tyres have hardly any wear, the spare is unused
It has not been abused or used to tow heavy trailers
It comes with a Spare Gearbox, C/W Transfer box
It comes with 3 Brand New OEM Rear Tub Support Cross Members
It comes with a Spare Front Axle
It comes with a Spare Rear Axle ( The diff unit itself will
need repairing)

I am approx 20 miles West of Swansea, 3 miles past the end
of the M4, near Cross Hands
I would recommend viewing, it is Not a pristine example of a
Series Land Rover but it is solid.
I have access to a 2
poster Ramp so the vehicle can be inspected if required.
Buyer will need a Van/Truck
to carry the Axles and Gearbox, bear in mind the axles are very
heavy probably over 150kg each.
