don,t alll laugh and shoot me down,but as a tow car you would do well to look at the ssangyong/daewoo musso,2.9 mercedes tdi engine,merc box,i have seen year 2000 ones for around £1800/2000 gets lots for your money,the daewoo ones had the first 3 years servicing included in purchase price,so most have been looked after.

offsetting wheels / spinning centres round
forkrentfitter replied to jamesvfr's topic in Tools and Fabrication
it is a lot of messing around to do them,but 8 spokes and modulars are no where near as strong as discovery steels,so yes if you can dothem well it is worth the effort. -
in my experience paddocks customer service is pretty good,when they have sent wrong parts or the parts do not fit (**itpart)they have always sorted it out quickly,they are about the longest established mail order parts supplier around.

at the moment it is a bit of a buyers market,realistically any from £800 upwards,biggest thing going against it is the td engine,i have seen 110,s of a similar vintage with retro fitted 200,s only making £12-£1300.
