Landies rule,
I have an 85 Rangie I bought three years ago, off road you couldn't have more fun with your clothes on. If you keep it standard and don't do outlandish things to it I'm sure it will give you reliable service. Mines a carby model I got one of them for simplicities sake, Fuel injection can be very costly. I lifted it 50 mm, fitted muddies a UHF radio and a diff lock in the rear, that's it. All I've had to replace mechanically in three years has been the starter motor. I've had to repair bits due to "bush rash", indicators, (three off), one bumper (front), I straightened the rear one again it's on it's third life. If you mess around with tyre sizes and engines things break, and it's not cheap. The engines thirsty but reliable, they don't like water due to the dizzy position. Mines done 260 thousand still goes well. Take the self leveling device off the rear axel it's useless.

Thanks heaps for the info Martyn, the set up on your Rangie is close to what I would want to do to mine.

I also wondered about the cost and problems (if any?) of fitting gas to the V8, being an all - alloy lump i'm guessing they don't take to overheating, burnt valves etc. the way motors with iron heads and blocks do.
