Both mine have the pipe..but none of the other stuff, don't think cv protectors were fitted anyway but could of rotted off by now of course!, both uk spec though.

Were headlamp washers a requirement for swedish cars/vans ? That would explain why my swedish LT has it, but the austrian one doesn't. Was wondering about that.

Yes, it was, along with mudflaps.
The requirement for both went away because of EU regulations in the mid-90s if I remember correctly.

Well, the mudflaps also are standard on the Austrian one. The requirement for headlight washers was new to me, though. Denmark never had that requirement. At least not that I can remember.

It's interesting though, how the specs can vary so much from one country to the other. Especially the rough road package should make the swedish Syncros really interesting for uprating them to 16" spec, as they have most of the not so easy retrofittable things.

Mine has the light washers although when I took the front panel off they weren't actually connected!

oops

some pics sorry about the quality but didn't want to rip out the interior




Original shocks are red



will check out the rear bits when I have time to take off the rear interior panels
Mine has the protection pipe for the gear linkage and also came with mudflaps, an engine heater, heated drivers seat and also automatic driving lights which I think were swedish spec

Yep... I got all that too.
