Long time no post, but there is a reason.
I had to scrap my beloved series, and now I have a Pajero, and you know what that means in Spanish!
FWIW I would still prefer a landie but the Jap crap has power steering, heating that works and doors that close properly, never mind that it was cheap. Still a bit of an antique at 18 years old though, I have not totally sold out to monocoque ecu controlled rubbish and I have traded in the holes in the floor for a mass of electrics that don't work, it would have air conditioning if I could afford to sort it, but I can't so thank goodness the electric windows work :)
