Mr Greens now at home & after pressure washing a black buckets worth of mud & grass from the bottom I've found out a few things.
The 4wd light was flashing when I test drove it but had read the guide checking vacuum hubs & just thought it would be the filter or a split rubber hose. On further inspection it looks like the ridged pipes that run to the front have been cut right out & as the bushes on the front arms are pretty new I think it was done then.
How much are the ridged pipes to replace? Where would I get them? Are they steel/brass/copper??
The tool box is in a OK condition, but the edges of the boot floor have rotted through! Is there a whole new replacement floor panel that can be patched in or should I get some steel bent at an angel & then weld front to back both sides? What sort of material thickness should look at getting??
The underseal is in a bad way to so thought this would be starting point, taking bits off the underside of the car grinding down the bubbles with a wire wheel & applying a couple of coats of waxoil! Might stop the rot of a while anyway

Here's a picture of the centre cap thats on the other back wheel!
I'd have loved to come down to the 4x4 show but have to plan when were coming on/off the island months in advance! And we've planned to go down to Suffolk for Easter! Your the wrong side of Leeds & Bradford for a pick up aswell. Are they to big & awkward to post? How much would you be looking for them?
Cheers
