Post by Nebr600 »

Hi all.
Ben from Devon here. Owned my 4XV for about 20 years but been stood up for a while due to dull life stuff. Currently recommissioning it slowly so here mainly for technical info/advice. Hopefully can also give some out as been a mechanic all my working life on all manor of vehicles including all my own motorbikes.
