Righto, come and grab a cheap 4x4 before winter arrives!

178K with FSH
Winter Pack Option
Automatic with Hi Lo & overdrive
Leather 7 Seater
4 Months MOT
Never Welded


Here is my 3.0 V6 LWB Shogun for sale to a fellow member.. Its a good strong car and I bought her locally in June, to tow my caravan (No Stick Please) on a couple of summer hols with my lad. Purchased from an old boy engineer, he used the shogun for around 7 years and 100K, travelling to France to visit the grandkids 6 times a year and for work duties. Its a good solid 4x4 which has been on road most of its life looking around it, no greenlaning or abuse for a change. Bodywork is good with a few scratches and bar the n/s front corner (See below). I bought her based on the mechanical history - a nice thick file of receipts and work undertaken by the same garage in Todmorden. Cambelt, Water Pump and Belts, Radiator recore and wheel bearings, bushes and general maintenance all listed and done. All important oil & filter changes every 3k are documented and also transmission services etc.

When purchased I replaced the exhaust from the Cat Back - new Indicator Relay and replaced the rear number plate lamps with LED's as the originals had rotten reflectors. Gave the car a good once over and greased up some of the suspension, cleaned inside and out and actually suprised myself how unabused and original she was - etched windows all match and even the torch is still in the boot! Have driven around 1.5K miles, 800 of those towing a twin axle and she sat nice and steady on the motorway, didnt use a drop of oil or water and temp gauge bang in the middle no matter what the A30 threw at us. I fitted a new ALKO Towball and replaced the single 7 Pin socket - all working okay.

Good Points:
Thatcham Cat Alarm and Immobiliser and 2 Keys
Original Books and FSH - Mitsi and independant
Strong engine and smooth Autobox - uses no oil or water
4x4 Hi/hi Lo/lo all working and has rear diff lock (disconnected)
Power and Hold all working along with Cruise Control and Overdrive
7 Seats, Leather with working Heated and suspension front seats - all fold away/ recline etc
Working Electronic Dampers
Air Con works well - rear heaters and re circulation system does what it should
Electric Windows and Moon Roof
Tailgate Spare with cover
Tyres all plenty of meat with no leaks & locking nuts on alloys
Courtesy lamps and driving lights all good
Side Steps

Things to Note:
Exhaust has slight blow at crush joint on Cat - fiddly but cheap to change
Pass Window is a little slow and the Moon Roof has started to stick so needs a grease and fettle
Front n/s wing and bumper pushed in a little due to snow bank grabbing it last winter - also pulling to n/s at times so think a ball joint or track rod may have taken a thump - still drives nicely and didnt worry me at all
50p sized hole on outer chassis rail on ns rear - quoted £30 as mates rates to plate and paint
Rear Diff can whine at motorway speeds - hasnt got any worse since I bought her
Drivers front seat is tatty on the side and taped up
Radio is cassette and Ariel doesnt go up
Rust on rear inner door arches/ tailgate inner lip - its not a rot box, wanted to be honest.

Basically its a cheap 4x4 which is offered at not far off breaker money and will give a few years more good service with care - Caravan is in storage and I have 2 other cars, so want to move her on for winter. Its a strong reliable car - would happily jump in and drive one end of the country to the other, comfy seats armrests and cruise control makes life easy. Please don't ask silly questions about MPG as you can buy a Diesel if you want the gamble of injectors/ turbos and the like.

£680 Ono

Car is located 2mins off J29 of M6 and I will accomodate a fellow member to make an easy sale. Call Matt on 07867 362 Zero Six Six

Depends on the diesel I think? The 2800TD in my L400 Delica gave 28mpg, 25mpg around town, and on runs it was doing 85 on the motorway and "as fast as possible" on roads like the A7.

 

But, but, the bloody thing expired in a cloud of smoke with completely buggered pump seals, and that was a common issue back then. The petrol ones were rare but tempting.
