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

Does it have aircon?
Chris

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.
