Rust Chas. Front arches front of wings rear cills and behind rear bumpers. Also worthy of note on petrol trucks they don't do particularly well on lpg if not used with flashlube or similar. Burned valves and check for head gasket issues.Please excuse highjacking of thread, tomorrow I will be going to view an 80 series Cruiser, and hopefully rejoining the 80 club, it will be my forth one, it's a'97 petrol same colour as the phoenix, red, before respray green, pictures look very good, remindrs of what I should look for are welcome chaps.

Be good if they have a ramp so you can get it up in the air to check underneath. Looks a beauty in the picsThanks Gav, I'm making a list of checks to take with me later today.
No worries at all mate, don’t mind seeing a nice looking Truck like that pop up. I’d agree though, diesel! one of my previous trucks was the grand Cherokee overland V8 beast, lpg conversion and gave no bother in the time I had with it.....the bloke who took it’s said it started giving him a fair bit of botherCracking Looking Truck Chas! ...But Petrol? Noooo! Go Diesel Mate Go Diesel.. Gav's right if its been on Gas, Could be Nowt but Trouble..... Thread Jack Over. Sorry Steve
YES petrol, diesel will be banned before too long and I am on the edge of the London LPZ at the moment, I thinl if Khan gets his way it will be extended before too long.Cracking Looking Truck Chas! ...But Petrol?

I’m hoping the diesel ban won’t affect me any time soon at least haha out in the sticks so no one will ever know hahaMaybe right Chas, Forgot that you live down in that there London!.. You could sell your Mansion and move to a nice quiet place out in the Sticks..![]()
So Chas any updates??? Is the wallet any lighter this aftenoon?YES petrol, diesel will be banned before too long and I am on the edge of the London LPZ at the moment, I thinl if Khan gets his way it will be extended before too long.
It has just been pointed out to me that the Cruiser I was viewing IS liable for ULEZ charges, so I think I'll have to think it out again!"So Chas any updates??? Is the wallet any lighter this aftenoon?

Mate that's a blow. Looked a nice truck. What about a petrol 100 series? Are they exempt or notIt has just been pointed out to me that the Cruiser I was viewing IS liable for ULEZ charges, so I think I'll have to think it out again!"
I decided against the 80, as good as it was, I've never seen one in such good condition. I have found a 100 import that fits the bill, with I think diff locks, I will view next week.Diesel Chas Diesel!... its all a bit of a myth Chas! and scaremongering, They will never actually ban Diesels from the City.. Its just that you will have to start paying More, Weather its Diesel/ A big petrol/ Or a ride on Lawn Mower, One way or another you will have to pay. "One day they will find a way to Charge even Electric Cars".. (Did you see what i did there)......Sorry Chas I had a tooth out Yesterday, My brain is still Flooded with Novacaine.... Are vehicles that are Tax and MOT Exempt (Classics) still Exempt from Charges and LEZ Nonsense ? What about an old 40 Series with Classic Status?
It's centre diff lock ChasI decided against the 80, as good as it was, I've never seen one in such good condition. I have found a 100 import that fits the bill, with I think diff locks, I will view next week.
Diesels will be banned Higgy, Bristol have already said from 2021 no more diesels, I think other towns will follow.
You are right about costs increasing I've been saying from the beginning it wont be long before they find a way to fleece electrics
Sad about the tooth.
Can anyone identify the button below the crash flash switch?

100 series only has centre and rear lockers. Think the 100 will do you well mate. Just looked at the picture and that doesn't have a rear locker. I assume it will be lsd as on import 80 s.It's centre diff lock Chas
Nice looking truck Chas. I got a 100 as well as my 80s and it is a really nice place to be. They do drive so well.
