Tata 4x4 pickup advice

[Jesse]

GREAT replies ,I didn't think I would get any on this one, I will reply to all tomorrow with an update on its Physical and Structural condition and explain in more detail why I chose to buy such a lovely pickup, food for thought, for me its always been the ratty trucks in my life which go on and on. Keep them coming.

hey, you do what you do, with what you got pal! and if it does what you want what more can you ask. some people like things, some dont, its what you think that matters.

 

better to have something paid for then on the tick! less stress

You bought it and you think it is 15 years old and think it is a turbo ?

 

Yep, didn't even drive it and forgot to look at the reg, but it was road side with a mobile number, should be ok, the chap seemed really genuine and said it was a nice drive.

Joke, right?

No, on my life, may I die in the night if I lie, but I will explain more when it gets here in the morning, if it gets here. But great replies. Any more technical details would be good but I know not knowing the age does not help, I do recall seeing a P on the reg but I just can't remember.

That was the term I had heard , rust being the big problem, but this one's no teabag.

 

Funny you should mention teabags, Tata own Tetley Tea

im with the peugot engine, though its a cheap truck so maybe they use whatevers cheap at the time.... i personally wouldnt buy one but best of luck with it! there indian and i am informed thats where the defender will be built in future.... open to correction... this is a very very broad forum indeed!

I seem to remember if it ever over heated they would pay for the repairs. I think it was massively over cooled. I have a feeling it was an old merc engine could be the same one in the sangsangyong thing as well. Nice drive does not ring a bell but its a cheap work truck and I am sure it will drive past many range rover sports broke down with ecu problems
