I know this company Lee, it's where my 130 body was done.

 

Forget the after sales from this firm. A week after mine was fitted, my dad sent the back up with a log between the body and the tow bar bracket. It bent the back up like it was butter.

 

I went to show them and saked them if they could repair it, wasn't too bothered about price just time.

 

Half the workshop came out to look and the only thing they were concerned about was how powerful the ram was!!

 

They said they'd ring me, they didn't, I rang them three times then gave up and repaired it myself.

 

They only want to fit bodies and shove them thru the production line.

My recently sold old 1985 lr90 which was lovingly built from the ground up my myself after it was written-off in 95

 

Out of interest, b101, how much did you sell it for? I'm trying to put a value on mine, which is a 1987 ex army n/as diesel, fair condition.

I think they have sorted there after care out now Dean - the solenoid went on the hydraulics, leaving me in the pooh.... They sent someone out to site within 2 hours and fixed it, i was in Bury at the time over an hour away. dont think there are many companies that would so that... Maybe enough people complained and they though they needed to do better.:icon14:

To be fair Chris, mine has been on the back of my truck for at least 4 years now :icon14:
