Nice Trooper you have there in the pictures. Can see it in your avatar picture, but it's too small for any good detail. You have a LWB model and do you have the 2.8 turbo diesel engine? How many miles do you have on it?

Its a 1988 2.8td lwb with 189000 genuine miles on the clock Very Happy

Cool, as much as I've heard about the 2.8td and how great of an engine it is I'd consider you not to have too high of a mileage count even with 189,000 miles. I really hope one day I can buy a good used 2.8td with gearbox to convert a 2.6 gas Trooper over here in the States. I've found the 4JB1-T diesel is becoming a better and better built engine the more I hear/learn about it. By the way I hope the turbo diesel goes another 200,000 miles for ya and you've got a nice Trooper there mate.

Good old rivington! Im off there on Sunday on the Mountain Bikes with the lads... we often ride up rivington just to ride down that very same path... it gets a little hairy towards the bottom as its easy to reach 25mph+ on the rocky sections or 40mph+ on the smooth Twisted Evil

Nice looking machine mate!

Love that bar on the front. Very Happy

Regarding the 2.8, I just converted the k-meter to miles, it's about 122,000 miles. Just a wee bit of smoke when first starts in the cold mornings, nothing major, goes away really quickly, that's if you noticed it in the first place. Fires up within 3 seconds every day no matter what.
