hi need some info seen a land rover stood up apparently 18month sees green

it's a tdi h reg 6 wheels and they all drive

the owner says it's had done

 

300 tdi engine put in looks very clean and she's been rebuilt

the chassis has been stripped and seald wax etc says its work 6k on own can see that my self

 

only nightly bits need doing for mot all seals etc things I can see all look good and it's not got a drop off oil spillage under the body engine

it does need brake seals doing and they are shot being stod

 

on the back is a expedition box full of kitchen shower bedroom in side the truck he has put hot water tanks under the seats etc

 

my Qs is how much should I be paying for it and what will she be worth once she up and going for trees

 

as I will make a box 1.5ft over the chassis so can get more chip in and will be about 2ft higher than it is now

will also need to fit tipping ram worked out about a 500-1k to do

 

any help would be great

Nothing mate, its a good thing as is but if you turn it over to tree work that extra axle is just robbing payload down to an insignificant ammount

You say the engine looks clean, I presume then you have heard it running and it sounds good too. What gearbox? Landy boxes can be a tad fragile, auto stronger than manual, and what the effect of the extra axle is on that, who can say?

 

Why has it been standing so long?

 

Was all the work done by Foley?

 

Does the extra axle increase load capacity or count agin it?

 

Given you can't drive it I would offer very little,

It counts against it, a lot, makes it nearly useless payload wise

he's was working on the box at the back and took over his manger job and lost in street

engine purrs have not drove as seals need doing for brakes

 

the extra axle can lock so all six are in use or just 4wheel drive

he says when all six are use can tow and carry 1.8 extra tons

and she's snorkled up so won't get stuck in ford

He is probably right but NOT legally.

 

It can weigh 3500kg all up, with a tipping body and 2 axles you usually get about 1000kg of payload that axle springs and drive shaft will eat about half of that.

 

The only way to use that extra capacity is to register it HGV which will give you about 1500kg of payload but will need an O licence.

If a Landy hasn't got any oil drops underneath it then there can't be any oil left in it!!😏

What happened to the damp mog..?

As others have said payload will be pants, will turn like an oil tanker, but look great..
