Got this Ranger about a week ago, £1400 with an MOT on it. 150k, 4x4, 2.5TD with a mechanical pump, double cab with a lid on the bed and the air con even works!!!!!
Promptly the ignition switch died, they are a very common fault that leads to non starting but are £40-£50 to replace so I'm just gonna modify it to a push button start for about £2 like my old ranger had.
Anyway she's lovely
She goes off road alright
Got a delivery and a half off Milner
This included a set of wheels 16x7 were £35 each new
For which I bought some nice tall all terrain tyres on land rover wheels for £80
I changed the smashed rear light. Brand new from milner was less than £20
I've fitted my old stereo out of the rallye
And removed the hands free kit that included an absolute tone of wiring and magic boxes
Plans short term; sort the starting issue, service it, solder on some new headlight plugs, new wiper blades, stick on front plate and wind up the torsion bars a couple of inches and fit the new wheels and tyres.
This will be before I go to Devil's Pit on the 4th October.
Plans long term; wheel spacers, body lift kit, diff drop both ends and more suspension lift plus one of the turbos I have in the garage, a bigger FMIC and a hefty pump tune.
