OK, a used one.

Only asking because there is about 900 quid in a new one...

 

[Heaumey]

David, any plans for the troopy then?

only plans I have for it are never selling it while I can still get in the top to sleep

 

[GeekOKent]

It's a good plan!

 

[David]

It's a good plan!

only plan I have, anyways i have spent so much on it no one would buy it lol

Ahh you're going to see it tomorrow, I'm next on his list if you don't like it, looked very nice on the advert just what I'm looking for. Have fun

 

[David]

Well rightly or wrongly I now own it
Not great morning for looking under cars tbh I could not see to much wrong with it apart from the normal
2nd gear hard to get in downshifting
front windows very slow
rear diff not working but I can hear the motor on the front one, part from those it all seems pretty good for it's age
I paid 4.5k for it seems a fair price

 

[Chris]

Well that's another one rescued and brought into the fold. Good work.

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Looks good for a very reasonable price. The only way to get round the 2nd gear issue is to buy a box from a 97-8 model, the difference is remarkable. Otherwise its a double de clutch from 3rd to 2nd.

 

[big-yin]

Glad it found a good home.

 

[AndyCook]

Nice 80 - want are the plans so for it ? A green laning truck?

 

[Shayne]

Bargain i'd say well done and no worries about scratching paint at that price

TBH Andy I don't know what I will do with it, might just use it as a daily for a while, and if I like it I may sell the D-Max

 

[karl webster]

I'd also say bargain.

Well done Dave. welcome back to the crew
