Looking at buying a surf.

What's the main difference between 2.4L and 3.0L diesel surf?

Anything I should look carefully when buying one?

main and only difference is the motor. take 1 of each for a drive and you'll soon see. both engines had issues with heads so look for 1 with head work done.

personally the red inside would make me bath after a night on the drinks

dont bye one get a nissan

Agree totally id never seen one with a red interior and now i wish i never had a look, thats disgusting but if you like it go ahead

But seriously id go with the 3litre way more power even elstoko get off their ass when needed pretty quick

+1

atleast get something with a solid front axle

that red interior is plain scary!

a few years ago i brought a LN130 (GREY INTERIOR VERSION) with a perfectly good motor, sold the motor for just less than i paid for the vehicle and dropped a 2JZGE supra motor into it, surfs are suprisingly stable at 200kph, who would have thought........

As mentioned the heads are main issues with those engines. You can get a super reliable 2.8 surf for around the same price as the 2.4 you're looking at, that would be my first pick.
good luck
