110K- barely run -in As I said, seems like someone doesn't like you. Have a couple of friends in the Limousin who converted their RHD's onto the French register. As I said, and others hinted, The factory would paint/ undercoat the underside. the argument to leave the metal bare and unprotected is ridiculous.
I agree the "hide it all with a thick snot of underseal" is not what's required, but a good power-wash off should dislodge all loose rust. spray on fertan to convert the surface. when treated and dry, spray with chassis black. car should be good for another 10 years.
change your testing station!
Look at your own costings..... It would be almost as cheap to drive back home , last holiday of the year, do remedial work in UK , drive back first holiday of the next year. the value of the vehicle is what it would cost to replace there, not what you paid / could sell for here. I think you should spend a bit of time or someone's going to rape your wallet. (unless it really is a rot-box, in which case, scrap it there or bring it back for an easier mot and sell it here!
Beware the later generation of Land-Cruiser with the big telly-screen up-front. an absolute travesty of the name and lineage. 3-year old with heat-shields rotted out, aircon pipes similar...alty has a 1-way clutch in the pulley (failed)....a real "keep it dry and clean" Chelsea Tractor. about as butch as Larry Grayson
