Just bought one and have spent a good bit getting it right. ‘Small water leak - loose hose clip’ turned out to be a knackered water pump. Changing the pump, belts and associated bits took me and a mate 10 hours with a two post lift bit wasn’t complicated really, just time consuming to do right. Would have been quicker if it wasn’t full of k seal type crap which took an age to flush out. Door hold on passenger side needs repair -common problem, some grot on one rear chassis leg, saggy rear tailgate, few electrical niggles to sort. But it’s a good old barge and will do 60mpg on a run and is presently averaging 43mpg with a lot of round town driving in that. It’s just shy of 240000 miles at present.
