Check the chassis and mounts for the engine and gear box and body etc.

We never treated these things very kindly back in the day. These poor things had young blokes that weren’t mechanically sympathetic or that experienced off road driving them. They didn’t drive far but the km they drove were hard!

Some seriously good info there but I take issue with your call these were peacetime vehicles. My FFR 48-695 I rode at Baidoa Op Solace Somalia and Australian Army Perenties also served in Rwanda, Timor, Cambodia, Iraq, Bouganville, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as across Australia. It is also a myth any of these vehicles were low Ks. Mine has been rebuilt at least three times. As much as mine had 17,000 on the odometer when I bought it the vehicles were "wound back" to zero after rebuild. Agreed. As much as mine has a history with me, I reckon these are the toughest and best value off roaders available. Mick.

The larrikin love child of a series 3 and a Defender. What an iconic vehicle.

Love my Perentie in California! I have added lockers, HD cvs, custom suspension parts, turbo, etc, blah, blah. Such a great platform.

Perfect vehicle for us here in Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa. It ticks all the boxes for me and would pair well with our neat Disco 1 v8.

Thank you.

Apart from the fully functional sticker they also went through monthly Inspections (NTI - non-tech inspection) and a test drive
- that was a full check of everything that didn’t require a mechanic. Fluids, body, kit, tyres etc etc. any issues it was then backloaded to the mechanics for repair 👍🏻

Thanks so much this will help me a lot your awesome and keep up the good work.

Great video Geoff, love my Puma but still very seriously considering a Perentie, this was full of great information - cheers mate, Warren.

A family member of mine was the person responsible for the Pink Panther.

Love the gadget  best of luck

Bought a stage 1 perentie few months back and nearly ready on the road, engine purrs great 👍

Good video, sir. I learnt  a lot from your video about what should do before purchase Land Rover Perentie.

Never seen a land rover without slop in the driveline even brand new

Thanks Geoff! #48-894 lives with me just now...they're thin on the ground in midwesters USA though ;) Safe travels !

On purchasing check Rear Brakes as mine needed replacing also the canopy's recommend purchasing a new one hey Robco

Excellent information as always

Love the Perentie content. Got one myself and waiting to get some money to register. Cheers

Magnificent

I was involved in the refurbishment program in  Townsville replacing firewalls and even did a ffr  chaises and an Ambo as well. We had to wait ages for the subframe for the |Ambulance as they  were only an Aussie model . I also did 10 R F S V power steering boxes , interesting ones to work on.
