I bought this last thursday and so far i love it!
its a 1996 3.1D with a little over 100,000 on the clock
Everything is working as it should and the previous owner has spent quite a lot on it in the last few months replacing old for new. (recent turbo, clutch, brakes, tyres, and all MOT advisories such as bushes and brake pipes)
I went to some green lanes in derbyshire on friday night and decided the side steps were getting in the way
As it stands now after removing side steps:
Im hoping to do a 2 inch lift in the new 2-3 weeks and see how it goes from there

Wander over to here: Troopers Owners Club for lots of support / knowledge and mods you can do and the various do's and don'ts.
i.e. Don't use the "Quick Warm Up" button on a 3.1 (3.0 are fine though), Never drivein in 4WD on anything but slippy stuff, etc etc.
3.1D are a little Agricultural, but the pay off is that you can usually fix them with a hammer
Any Q's ? Ask.
Thank you I'll have a look on there i.e. Don't use the "Quick Warm Up" button on a 3.1 (3.0 are fine though), Never drivein in 4WD on anything but slippy stuff, etc etc.

Quick question, how long would you expect the clutch to last if it were to be used off road in 4wd

Ok thanks guys, I'm not having an issue with the clutch it we're a proper newbie question
Heard about the front hubs we're your meant to reverse etc for them to disengage but I've been told I don't need to do that as mine aren't the hubs that say auto-lock on them (mine are allen key head)
