The engine, gearbox, transfer box and drive train is legendry in the 4x4 world. The engine must be good for 500 000 miles as they are are so simple and built like a tank. None of this modern computer driven electronic junk which goes wrong at the drop of a hat with built in obsolescence.
The thing that gets these things and why they end up being scrapped is rust. Still, they don't rust as bad as Land Rover - they leave the factory already rusting. Mine isn't too bad - rear arches could have been patched but in the mad world of Stu's head that wouldn't do. I want to be buried in this thing so the plan is to rip out both back arches and weld in custom 2mm steel of my own design. Welder is warming up and raring to go.
Sills are another common thing to go but I replaced mine eight years ago with 100mm x 60mm x 3mm box section. I won't need tk do them again
