Hi Mick,
I did an Aus wide search and there is not much at the moment, maybe people are concentrating on Christmas at the moment and not selling their cars.. If I know the car is good freight is a good option, our fire truck (TD5) didnt cost that much at all to get to Queensland from Western Aus.

Thanks

I will take some for you. Yeah I totally understand that, all the work I have done is to ensure it gets another 20yrs+ of motoring ahead of it. It's a great truck and with new gasflowed head, gear box and transfer case so that's why it's beyond the 15k they normally get for a decent example. Pretty damn fuel efficient too

Also new HID lights, turbo timer, rad hoses, fuel lines yikes

In my experience he knows what he is doing. PCB is another I have used and would recommend but harder to book in with Peter, but he's a gentleman and an expert.

Thanks Steane,

Hard when you're new to the area. Have done all the major stuff for now. Just for any maintenance and boo-boos in the future.

Have heard of PCB but a lot further away from me.

You should have yelled out a few months ago.
Could have got you a 1999 130 single cab,last of the TDi's with a brand new head and only 80000ks for $9000.
I didnt have 9K spare at the time,I would have bought it!!!!

Darn it, I have been looking for months too!!!
I will give Alec's some more thought when I have a minute, but it has been hectic, just dived home from outlaws to pick up a sick cow I have been lifting up for days, then back it outlaws (an hour a way) for dinner, Christmas is such hard work!!! Alec has done a fair bit to the ute, but it is also 20k and it needs a bit of tlc inside on the seats and my main issue is no aircon here it is hot and wet so aircon is a must so I would have to budget to get that fitted too which is a couple of grand, seats need a recover plus getting it to me and registered when it arrives so if all goes well and I will be up for 25 k at the very least which really is a lot of money.
Two door is not all I am interested in 4 door 130 is also fine.
Chris

Chris.
