Clutch started to slip, also a bit juddery so was replaced. Expensive as garage spent time on manifold downpipes [seized].
Broken front spring. New front discs at 70K.
All usual thing such as Tyres, Battery.
Have heard that water pumps don't last, mine replaced at 52K.
Last owner made a mess of changing the plenum chamber gasket so this was replaced at 60K.
F/O/S ABS sensor renewed after car skelped kerb.
Rear drive shaft required stripping and repacking with fresh grease. Exhaust has given no trouble yet but looks like it may shortly - 2nd exhaust since new.
Grips like nothing else and is definitely worth hanging onto as nothing else Uncle Henry makes can replace it.
Would like to buy a late XR4x4 and keep as a possible future classic.
All very handy to know as I have just bought one.
Thanks.
PM.
