samearl14 11 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 id recommend them mate. iv got one and love it. Shed loads of torque and easy pull 3 tonnes. if its 2.8 turbo thats the best engine, the 2.8 na isnt bad its just not as powerfull. Id go for it regardless, and its low mileage Hope this helped.

Romany 1,065 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Had the old F50 Years ago, great tool apart from being a rot box, but excellent engine and running gear..My mate had a landrover and when we used this to go over the border rabbiting, the blue light for the low fuel would come on about 30 miles from home, with the F50 we did the same mileage, smaller fuel tank, bigger engine got home on the fuel no bother and went to work for the rest of the week on the fuel that was left. And, it was lovely and warm, and we could hear the radio. Remember a day beating near Wooler in Northumberland, and all I did all day was pull Range Rovers and Landrovers out..Mechanically wise all I did was an exhaust and a diaphram in the fuel injection pump, body wise, I welded a new floor in, and did two spray jobs after knocking the rust back..
