Wonder if he will be the owner of a riceburner soon. Come on Will get one you know it makes sense. |
Told Col ages ago I would have one but I know nothing about them, if anything goes wrong with my Disco's (which it does alot) at least I can fix it, the modification side of things does not bother me as I can get winch bumpers, rock slides, racks and ladders made to spec within a couple of days but ask me how to fit them and I would not have a clue, used to have a 2.8 Frontera Sport and I did the cam belt and it took me about 4 hours, I could have my Disco cambelt fitted and a new clutch in that time...LOL I have been looking at them on autotrader and thinking of the 3.0Ltr as I like the facelifted look, a SWB with some 35" tyres and lockers front and rear would go well when it starts but the 3.1 is like the 300TDi in design simple old engineering and I prefer that to 128 ECU's controlling everything from the sunroof to the 8000+ PSI injectors. I am looking an thinking LOL. This one looks well and is not so far from me but it say's it is a 3.1 ??? Thought they stopped doing them about 1998?

prob a misprint ...... i wou;dn't pay 7grand for an 03 trooper with 80,000 miles on it never mind for a one that might of been converted to a 3.1 ....only paid 5k for mine when it was 6yr old with only 60k on it |
i reckon the mk3 is the one to look out for all mod cons but simplecaty under the bonet and better bhp compared to the mk 2 _________________ isuzu 3.0 about to be a 3.1 it is now

Wahey ........ I got internet .
Just spent a week in North Wales at a luverly campsite. Very plush static caravan, hot tub on the veranda, but no working wifi .
" Sorry Mr G, our router is up the spout ". I would have taken Markymoans advice and gone to a McD's, but the nearest one was 20 miles away, and we were far to busy playing in the sea .
Anyways, thanks Jase for organising a cracking weekend, although next time I reckon maybe I should pace myself a bit more on the Friday night, coz come Sat night I was goosed .
Always good to catch up with the usual suspects , and even better to see so many new faces, even if they do need converting from the dark side .
Sorry I had to go early, as it looks like I missed some good laning on the Sunday. Still, I did manage to get home under my own steam AGAIN. That's 3 times in a row now . _________________
