It's basically just a cheap second car runabout for occasional use, probably no more than 1000 miles per year. Tax exempt and dirt cheap insurance. Where we live live is pretty rural, lots of little lanes that sometimes turn into rough rutted tracks which a 4x4 is necessary for, not so much for the traction but you'd bottom out a car and get stuck(other car is a mondeo which is very low). Also a bit of towing and winter use if the snow is heavy, the roads don't get gritted much here. I think I'll do as suggested and have a look in the gearbox. It needs a new floor welded in the tub, I'm going to go through the electrics and repaint the body. Upgrade the bakes, it has disco axles so disk brakes but they don't work as well as they could yet. Contemplating either moving the bulkhead back for more leg room of making extra thin seat backs. Once sorted it'll be a great little vehicle, luckily it was wax oiled regularly by the previous owner and has very little rust and a good body, just looks very tatty at the moment.
