|

Hi,
Hopefully the weekend I'm picking up a Rodeo Denver on a 55 plate with 19k miles, having previously owned a Navara I wanted something similar with more reliability & better economy so this is the route I went down.
A couple of questions I do have though, if someone could help me:
1) does the tailgate lock? if so, how? - the one I'm buying doesn't seem to lock with the central locking & no key hole on tailgate, is this right?
2) the only downside of the truck is the drab grey cloth interior & boring dashboard (namely a naff digital clock) - so is it easy to buy & swap for leather interior and/or are there any clever mods I can do to perk up the interior?
Forgot to say that this is not a working vehicle, I'll be using it as my personal car - with a Mrs with horses though the buck will get used as will the towbar!
Thanks |
