Hello from England

[cadboy]

Hi there and thank you for accepting me to your forum.
I purchased a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT which was for Export market (yes steering on wrong side) a few months back.
She went to Japan and was in Japan till 2016, no history is known.
Then arrived in England with one owner before me.
She is in good condition with 75000 miles on the clock. (see photos)
I am very happy with her, but I have no information on this SUV, I have a Chilton manual but many items are not as the car, so I hope I can ask questions here and get help from this forum.

Yes it looks like she went to Japan as a new car then came to UK in 2016.
In Japan these big American cars are looked after and are used very little.
