Description
Complete inspection carried out by Kinross 4x4 18 Sep 2025, no major problems but needs some maintenance work. Only urgent work required is a repair to the fuel pump (has an air leak), hence the price drop to cover the cost. Does not prevent normal usage especially when warm but can require time to start as fuel may need to be pumped back up to clear the air in the lines.
Sold with all faults known - full transparency and will share the report. Overall, nothing you wouldn’t expect on one this age and it is in very good condition.

Last service 18 Sep 2025 (oil and filter change) and full inspection.
At its last MOT (Oval Land Rover, Penicuik) they said it was the best one they’d driven with the cleanest chassis.
It is a rare and not overly modified classic. I will be very sad to sell but need a more comfortable commuter as I’m coving big distances weekly with work.
If you want a classic 90 that you can rely on but still enjoy some light mechanics, this is the one for you.
