Good runner, starts everytime, few parts changed wear & tear.

Good for camper project, first van/learn old school mechanics, workhorse.

Play in the steering despite replacing the power steering box and still has a fluid leak that I keep in check by using a thicker stop leak power steering fluid.

I also have SPARE PARTS (including original LDV parts), LDV specific tools (steering box pitman arm, gearbox oil nut socket...):

kingpins set, wheel hub bearings set, Radiator/heater water pipes and hoses, slave cylinder clutch, Glow Plug relay control unit, Set of sliding side door lock barrel+key

– and a very solid roof rack for an extra £100.

Currently SORN.

You will have to Tax it (and then insure it) BEFORE driving it away to be compliant with road law and for your own and other road users' safety. This might take TWO visits.

By law I |(regrettably) can not give you much of a test ride because of SORN,

however I will run the engine and you can try it within the yard and yard entrance.

It has been in use daily til last week.

RUST:
Due to legendary in cab leaks (now dealt with) > some rust but none on structural. Not problem for MOT.
See photos >> driver wheel arch and floor affected and welded. Some rust left on wheel arch's edge (could be fiberglassed patched).

I have added more pics in a new post.

SOLD

Selling as moved onto boat, have less use and currently can't afford to reinsure but need cash to build boat interior.

Very sad to have to let it go as I intended to keep and make it last forever as they can do if keeping on top of it.
