In addition to all the work the previous owner has done, I've had the following done:
2023:
New air suspension reservoir.
Side steps removed by CDS. All good underneath.
Heavy duty rear door struts.
Uncle Ray front skid plate in black.
Split charge system with live feed to the rear. (I might remove this but leave the wiring to the rear in tbc).
Front and rear light guards.
2024:
Belts and service.
New front brakes and calliper.
New water pump, belts and tensioner.
New expansion tank.
New rear brake lines.
New fixed tow bar.
New MOT August 2024.
Niggles: - see pictures.
Small dent in front bumper - not really noticeable.
Small dent to C pillar caused by me changing the struts (quoted £250 to fix).
Tiny chip in windscreen. Looks like a squashed insect if you find it and has been professionally repaired.
Ernies a cracking car in great condition and is fully loaded. Even the steering wheel is electric and moves in and out etc with the ignition. My daughter loves this!
He was bought as a project for my daughter to travel around Scandinavia in her gap year so I wanted a good, well maintained car as the base of the build. Anyway, as is the way of things, her plans changed!
He's a really well specced and maintained car in great condition for his age and it will be sad to see him go. He's a damn site more useful and practical than my Defender!
Anyway, any inspection welcome. Looking for £3200, which seems a bargain bearing in mind all the key things have all just been done.
Current milage as of today is: 168,349 but it won't go up much. Also, the reg will revert to the original.

"Ernie, the fastest selling Disco in the South" ..... I know a song about that
Great job, well done [didn't think it'd hang about for long] ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

It's a shame the car never got to do Scandinavia, good to see it did you a good turn without any major issues. Just 'cause you got the power... that don't mean you got the right.
