Just checked there looks to be a very good one in dark red on e-bay low mileage and looks to be in good condition
thank you I have seen the red one and have put an offer in but he has someone else who made the same offer 1st so im waiting for him to let me know if it is still available .
by the way can you get a towbar for them
and what are they like mpg wise

Must admit it does look very nice, I expect our USA based friends are best to advise you on tow bars I haven't found a good source of parts in the UK in all the years I've owned one.Quote:

If you do buy it I strongly recommend the Rancho shock upgrade it transforms the car VX KAT very kindly sourced and sorted it for me which was very helpful.
excellent I have been looking for one for a bit I had one about 4 years ago . is there anything I should check when I go to view one
regards
Common problems are the windows mine are on my to-do list hopefully they won't have burnt out motors but I think the fuse goes and protects the motors.
Mine had a problem with the heater fan and this can be sorted by buying the control unit so check out the heater/air-con fan works on low and full.
At 41K miles I doubt there will be any transmission problems but it may be worth having a look through the buyers guide on this forum as there are people on this forum who have probably forgotten more than I'll ever know as they say.
Wouldn't do any harm to ask the seller on e-bay if there are any problems with windows etc
The US version is not set up to tow it 4 down since we don't have a neutral position on our transfer case.Quote:

I made a set of brackets to attach a standard towbar to mine. They are fairly simple angle brackets that bolt to the frame where the OEM tow hooks were mounted.
I'd be happy to take some pix of the brackets if you need them.
Did you buy the one on e-bay?
i have a tow bar on mine and it tows fine. i only really pull a jetski and always in RWD. My tyres are a bit on the big side but they work fine and it had enough tourque to get up to speed very quickly. only problem is, when the speedo says 30 you are doing about 50!!!

OT I know, but out of curiosity, do the Euro rain deflectors on the doors ACTUALLY keep water from coming in the window if it's rolled down a little when you're driving in the rain?Quote:

Please 'scuse the language barrier. I talk US, not UK.:)Quote:

In regard to hitches, here in the US you can get them from KURT, Dylan, or U-Haul (as far as I know, they are all made by KURT).
Welder Guy is still making the hidden version that tucks up under the rear cladding so that only the receiver shows. He's slow so I dropped one off at an Off Road shop to see if they'd make them too.
