Furgus's 90

Post by lilpigzuk »

Thought I better put it in the right place :D
I saw when it was for sale a few years back it had no wof as the scorpion suspension hadnt been certified. Was this an issue or had all that been done when you got it??

The certs had all been issued - so there was no trouble there. One interesting thing though was that it had braided stainless breake hoses - these had been seen at cert time and no probs - BUT apparantly these are not legal - as Sam Parker found when getting his Range Rover project certed. Because of this Graham (from Mainlandrover) supplied me with a brand new set of legal hoses for no charge - just in case. Now that's what I call service!! Since I've had it all I've done is to add some checkerplate procetion to the wing tops & a decent bull bar on the front - this will get swapped for a heavy duty alloy one when I fit the winch - a 8000lb toyota winch (high mount) as it has integral front wing bars.

Thats's what I thought - but the guy I bought it off reckoned it was only 8000lb - I'm sure as heck not going to complain about it being better than I thought :P It's definately a toyota one - it says so on the bag that the remote came in. As I understand it came off a Blizzard - that's why he reckoned it was only a 8000er.
Thanks for your help.
