Yeah thats the one guys,

So its really done 180k? I think its had a new set of clocks at some point as the ones in it currently say 89K.

The car is very clean for its age, is there a specific reason why the 4x4 system isnt working? I know the fuse is out but the lad who had it before me said somthing about the accumulator bulb?

Also the speedo isnt working - was this an issue before?

Many thanks,
Ben

Yes mate it has done 180k u should have mot's to back that up and the lad should of told u that as he knew. Clocks were changed by me due to old ones peeling. 4x4 doesnt work due to blown seal on the tx box hence why bulb setup is missing. Speedo stopped working when I had it not sure why though. In all fairnas though it is a good car just hope u didnt pay his asking price which was a joke much like his ad was
