Just bought a 1994 3L turbo diesel, Automatic, 165000 k'ms (and yes i reckon they are ligit). Stock and standard. Japan import
Just done some maintenance to it, new torsion bracket, idle arm, some cheap event 4*4 tires, radiator cleaned out redone, new top tank, new fronts pads, tightened back brakes, every thing else looks alright, the guy who did my warrant said there was a very! small movement in my wishbone bush full pass otherwise,(i had originally gone to a place next to the uni Auto friend i think its called and he tried to rip me off said that both bottom ball joints had too much slack, so i got some parts and went to replace them and the old ones had no slack!). CV boot has split(when i bought it) not sure how long its been like that though so not going to replace until i do the CV,(does this mean i should not go off road with the split?).
In chch for uni so not looking at any thing extensive, but keen to do a few tracks, would really like to know what the essentials are before doing anything, my brother mentioned a trans cooler to my dad but have not spoken to him about it yet, hes in Aus and i hear its not so necessary here. Looking to put tow bar on for practicality but i would also need a rear tow link for people to help me out correct? What are the essentials needed? protective plates for the bottom needed, every thing looks well covered?Want to give it a wee test where do you recommend?
Cheers Seath
