disco_al Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 um, shouldn't someone tell him it's a chain on the TD5???? and as for the NASA snorkel.....well, is it made from left over shuttle parts??? also some of the pictures are off another listing from an iphone - curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 i think anyone on here given the price thats going for (£10,000) could do a better job and save £50,000 for something more cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 FORGOT TO SAY IT HAS A SELF ADJUSTING TIMING BELT IT READS THE THE TENSION IN THE BELT AND ADJUSTS TO WHAT IT NEEDS FANTASTIC TO HAVEOn 03-Nov-11 at 16:10:57 GMT, seller added the following information:' Forgive me if I'm wrong - but is than not exactly what the hydraulic timing chain tensioner does? OK, every TD5 has one fitted - but there's no harm in using it as a selling point Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I can easily see £50k being spent on it the way he's listed it, a thousand for tyres, 4.5 for a roll cage, 500 for a reconned gearbox, How much are stainless waffle boards, I bet they're not cheap. I'm thinking he's adding some garage costs into it as well, so there's say 2 days to have the gearbox changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSheds Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 that could be what it cost him..... especially if he paid for labour to have it all fitted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighouse shed Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A quick look at his shopping list and assigning a grand a throw except tent and respray 3 each i struggle to get above 18k add a couple of weeks labour at typical garage 70 an hour and a few extra hear and there and we get 30k plus base vehicle i reckon at 10k it's not bad it looks solid enough and has plenty of kit albeit used surely one of our 'offroaders' will know the highly esteemed 'stallion' i guess they are still bowing down to it impressed by his pitch though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I reckon it'll be a good buy seen as tho the Transtec Box and uts have now been sorted. thats really put my mind at rest Perhaps a main dealer did all the work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
africanpete Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 just read it again and had another good little chuckle to myself £60K spent in title, £50K spent in description?? You could get a LR to drive itself for £60K !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range Rover Blues Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Does £50 include all the fuel he used up dragging all the accesories around? or the garage he keeps it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wack61 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think the 60k includes 30k worth of tools in the tool box As with all accessories they add little value when selling, he'd probably get more taking them off and selling them separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
