Hi guys I got into offroading in september last year through loughborough's Off Road Driving Society at loughborough university and am now looking to get a truck of my own. However when looking at trucks i'm not really sure exactly what i'm looking for, common problems etc, things to test. The guys in my club have pointed out a few things and i was hoping to get some more ideas from you guys off here. the truck i'm hopefully going to see has had a 200tdi conversion for a disco. what are common problems and things I should be looking out for? any advice at all would be much appreciated! many thanks in advance
