Looks like the paver driveway is coming along nicely @ Daniels. When I was there that area was all still gravel. Glad to see that Bonatti grey double cab coming together on the galv bulkhead and chassis. Why don't you guys make it lhd now while its so easy ?

nice back drop with the desert in bloom

I loved this truck before- now I want it back. Perhaps your wife would not divorce you if we traded for the 130 ? LOL- we both know better. Congratulations on how well it turned out and best of luck on your Canadian expedition.

Look into UK insurance first-pricey. I have done this but was fortunate to be able to borrow a friends dealer plates or as the call them in the UK "trade plates",any vehicle they are attached to is covered.

Andy totally put one over on a US buyer-I handled the import. He sold him a 5 door 110 that he had just converted to tdi. The engine is the only part of the truck that is still roadworthy 2 years later. The US buyer bought the truck sight unseen based on this UK dealers representations. Andy...

Awesome ! Did Td5 130's come with rear flairs or did you add those ? The side of my truck is constantly getting covered by the 285 mud terrains.

I have a Toyota B diesel engine in good running condition with recent new 12v starter and alternator. Engine wiring harness, glow plug wiring and relay etc all included. Engine was removed last weekend and is on a pallet stored indoors @ my farm in Concord, Virginia ready to ship. Here is a you...

neat ! could you post some more shots ? what cap do you have on the rear bed ? could you post a shot of the layout in the rear bed ? what tent is that ?

Yeah that was a real kick in the crotch-5 trucks and thousands in parts. All is well that ends well.

Are you refering to this one ? Did you look it over in Marshville ? I imported it, here's a few pictures I took. I also drove it about 80 miles and it would go 60 tops down a steep grade. Truck only had 13k km's on it-about 8500 miles...

I have brought in two 40 foot containers year to date. It takes a lot of stuff to make the economy of scale work to your advantage. The shipping of the container is only one cost-drayage fees on both sides and loading fee's add up to more than the actual shipping cost. IE I put two 110's and a...

yeah but you broke it a couple of times running the crap out of it. That 110 has a lot of history....think he wants to sell it for about $10k. I think it would do the East>West trip again, as is.

Willing to ship ?

Steve- I don't have any experience with those. I usually am dealing with a used engine and immediately dump whatever oil is in it and go to 5w40 and add a quart of Rislone. I change that initial oil out @ 1000 miles and its amazing how much cleaner and quieter the engine gets. After that I run...

If the truck has a defender 200 tdi engine then mounting an a/c compressor is a bit of a pain. the mounts are no longer available and the front cover needs to be drilled and tapped for the mounts- if its a disco engine its the same as a 300 tdi and the only issue will be one of belts and the...

I thought this engine only has 5k miles on it ? Timing belts every 50k, tappet adjustments every 12k and I change my oil every 3k with Rotella synthetic but thats over kill. The Lt77 as siad above works best with Redline MTL and has an internal pump that lubricates the parts- you'll know if its...

I have converted 2.25 petrols to 200 tdi in a day so its a very easy swap. I'm only 45 mins or so from this truck if you would like someone to look it over for you to feel better about your purchase. Sent you a pm offering to do so. Cheers

is this truck Trident Green by any chance ?

ditto what he said. The bolts are not easily reached but the job is fairly straight forward. I have a tdi starter here some where that needs a solenoid so if you find a vendor who sells them please share. My truck was lhd and I had to drop the down pipe as described.

The earlier trucks are actually superior in build quality. Heavier gauge body panels, galvanized cappings, doors not as prone to rust as the 90's vintage (especially the push button doors). All of the above were cut in quality to improve profitablity. On the NAS trucks there isn't even any...
