I've been offered a FC 101 for the princely sum of USD$10,000 and like to here from any FC 101 owners on their experiences prior to setting off on what is sure to be a life altering experience, maybe mind altering as well.
but it appears to be down at the moment. The owner of the site (Martyn Bailey) and most of the other 101 owners who frequent this group are off on a camping jaunt at the moment but should be back later on today or tomorrow.
It's DNS entries that are failing for it at the moment, other sites (including ones I've not been to before) are working fine, I've not tried anyone else's DNS servers yet as I'm off for a lane clearance (as in green lane, not a polite way of saying "having a dump") in a bit.
Jeffrey S Austin uttered summat worrerz funny about:
Just depends on your side of the pond on what you are willing to spend ultimately.
I can't speak much for any thing other than an Ambi model from experience.
You'll do well to check the rear cross member for corrosion. On GS's they ret just behind the doors on the b Pillar area I'm led to beleive. Also check the swivels on the front axle are sound and the swivels are art of the axle on a 101 and not detachable. Front props rumble on all but check UJ's as they take some hammering.
As for the rest of the experience be sure your credit rating is good. If you do get one check on any historic value before doing anything just like I didn't...
Tis the risk of giving oneself a 'freebie' at work and not putting it in the main database. When DNS servers move, they rely on, erm, the main database... :-(
Well, it's a moot point now. Someone else grabbed it. Not sure were I would have put it anyway. Two car garage and we have two Disco 1's one XR4Ti and my daughters Jeep.
We got it in '88 and my Disco in '97 while station in Germany. [I'm ex-Army, I'm now a firefighter.] Should have ordered it with the 300 TDi instead of the petrol. Haven't had really any problems with it other than the usual at 170,000 miles.
The XR4Ti is Fire Engine Red but no flashing lamps or hoses attached.
