Rust is the only thing to worry about Check those front and rear wheel arches carefully Take a small magnet with you
Have a general look underneath for corrosion

If you have a look under Members Transits Progress Reports you will see all the weak spots uncovered

wot does the 80 mean on the tranny ??

load capacity in kg 80 = 800 kg or thereabouts 100 = 1000kg and 120 = 1200kg, 150=1500kg 190 = 1900kg

150 is the maximum in swb but as it has the 6 stud axles it has the low ratio diff so it aint no motorway cruiser!!
