Now I'm on a Land Rover thread, how many miles do you guys think a 130 has in her before she starts becoming a liability. I'm being offered one with 95k on clock fully arb boxed up. Any thoughts on what to look for maintenance wise....

 

Cheers

I would also recommend firing a heavy duty rear anti roll bar as once you have a chip box on the like to roll. I have just fitted one to my 130 and it has made a huge difference.

 

that things pretty stiff in the rear should see the springs on it! it's always been slow in coming down even with weight in must just have a restrictive fitting somewhere
