  1. ok you got the whole waiting for the right one thing pretty sorted then! ha ha. and cool sounds like the best scenario youll have for buying the truck. good luck

     

     

    Thank arbbie

  2. I was guna add that the more service history you can get the better and is worth waiting a little while longer for...

     

     

     

    but see that youve choose one already good luck hope its a good one and check the dipstick, better still take one of your mechanic mates:thumbup1:

     

     

    Have got 7 days to get it inspected and it has full history bud. Receipts etc for the latest tyres gearbox etc.

     

    Plus ive been waiting 4/5 yrs now lol. Otherthings always came up before hand.

    No excuses this time. All in now

  3. Ratchet strapping the nippers in then?!

     

     

    If she doesnt know lol plus theyve all got climbing helmets and glasses so shouldnt be a problem.

    If it is ill have to keep the focus for now.

  4. You can't go wrong with a ranger!

    If your on face book find the UK ford ranger forum, good guys on there if you get any problems they are a knowledgeable lot

     

     

    Thanks will, i will do since i know nothing about vehs

  5. Any its one hell of a thirsty bugger!

     

     

     

    I used to get 300 miles to 75 quid in mine 250 if doing a bit of towing

     

     

     

    When i bought a navara it would do 400-420 miles to the same amount to fill.

     

     

     

    Ride was bouncy and hard in my l200

     

     

     

    The 4x4 system is vacuum control crap!

     

     

     

    Little reserviour for vac near to drivers front wheel would rot and not hold vac for 4x4 to work, glad mines gone

     

     

     

    Sorry

     

     

    Rather hear about now bud. Hopefully its just short term to get me running

  6. Head gasket is the only problem I really heard about. I have the use of one as a second vehicle and thought it was alright for the money. The only downside I found was the driving position was horible,my legs were straight out to the pedals rather than down like other jeeps.

     

     

    Lol im a short ass so my legs are normally like that reaching the pedals

  7. Ok thanks mr Timber 👍🏻Need a double for now as ive got 3 boys to cart around and our lass wont allow me to ratchet strap them in the bed or trailer lol.

    Luckily have some mechanic mates that will give it a good going over. Just didnt wanna end up having to shell out alot over wise id find a landrover lol

  8. So im finally able to look and buy a cheap l200.

    Is there anything i should put cash aside for.

    Tyres head gasket cam belts etc have been renewed

    Would you say this was a goer for a first truck. Ill be pairing it up with a 7'by4' trailer ImageUploadedByArbtalk1449142854.883995.jpg.0d208942a355b7838c3a1ed9c72595a1.jpg

  9. How did you get on with the Nova, my thinking is second hand / used is always best, better value and most are easy to service and tidy up?

     

     

     

    Stuart

     

     

    Ive had no problems with mine. Even after 10 yrs it was serviced and clean well and often 👍🏻
