devonlad 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Am I right in thinking that the early one's don't have power steering.. I assume the later models do ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meerihunter 7 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) I still have 2 sitting in the garden, I can't bring myself to get rid of them one will have to go though. I like them more than my toyota for offroading but the just aren't big enough for the kids and the dogs. I've seen mine get where a defender 110 couldn't in snow. As for parts, no problems getting parts at Lada.co.uk. They are so simple to work on with real basic tool kit. I'd stay away from the 1.6s go for the 17i they are leagues apart. Only the LHD imports have PAS. Edited December 31, 2007 by Meerihunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate of mine had one 25 years ago and it was indestructable. The first real offroader about that wasn't a Landie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
