Engine cooling, amp; Exaust: The engine is a nice running Daihatsu 2.8 turbo diesel (DL50 is the engine code) it is a very popular swap in the UK due to its extreme reliability and greater amount of power about 100hp this engine suits the landy very well and pulls up most steep hills at top speed recent service includes all oils and fluids removed and replaced RUNS EXCELLENT the cooling system is in great order and has a manually operated electric cooling fan, rand new custom built side swept exhaust system

Transmission, wd, ransfer box & axles: The robust LT95 four speed manual transmission includes sycro meshed gears. It drives and operates as it should. The 4wd works as it should and has HIGH LOW 2&4WD. The oils in the axles, ransmission and transfer box have been drained and refilled in the past 1k miles both axles work as they should and the rear is the robust Salisbury 1ton axle one or two drops of oil drop from the transfer case and transmission over a couple days of being parked nothing out of the ordinary

Body Chassis & top: Very straight body, here is no major rust to speak of aside from one spot on the bulkhead about a silver dollar size and the door bottom frames need repair, he frame and chassis and undercarriage is very solid, he canvas top is water tight but shows sun wear and aging there are some straps that have broken as well no rips or tears
