Thread: Nealo's 130 Tdi

Looks like a good score for 4K, I wish I could find one so cheap!

Looks good mate. I would get that timing belt done though. I did mine when I bought it and man was it on it's last legs.

If it has healthy backlash, then after checking the drive flanges pull off the PTO cover and check the output shaft.
My '95 had healthy backlash and had worn the splines nicely.
A new input gear, cross drilled with extra spline engagement will save a gearbox mainshaft overhaul for a goodly length of time

Well here's hoping that there are no major surprises

I have a new set of drive flanges on order from Ebay, plus dipstick and trim clips from the UK.

Needs a major degrease, then I can start pin pointing all the oil leaks..pinion seals, output seals etc etc

MacFamily..thanks for the heads up re: the aircon, I'm assuming what I have fitted is the "Australian fitted aircon"

$4k is great value, at that price you can afford a lot of new stuff to bring it back up to spec, or even fit an isuzu 4BD1T with a MSA 5 speed/LT230.

My dream 130 would also have a Perentie rear end, gal chassis, and a stretch cab with a double b-pillar and wagon tub setup.

You are right on the dollar. The company that built that particular A/C unit are now broke... no bloody wonder, they are a ***** of a thing to work on.
I overhauled the one in my old 130 early this year, so good luck!

Alternatively, rip the lot out and install a red dot like Towe0609. It cost just under $4000 though... but I bet he can now move his knees in the passenger seat

Regarding your fuel pickup issue: - my pickup pipe (in a standard tank) had rotated nearly 90 degrees so it was no longer sitting in the bottom of the tank. I only found it when I pulled the pickup / level sender unit out.
In fact it was rotated such that it interfered with the sender float- even when I completely drained the tank, the fuel gauge read half full.
