James in Gosnells,
'95 Vogue SE, - but yours looks in nicer condition. (And fancier roof-racks) - Congratulations!

That is a very eleganty looking Rangie Greenie. Congrats on your acquisition. It is sure to give you unlimited driving pleasure combined with hopefully not too much frustration.

Nice - same colour as mine good luck with it - you will find this forum and its people the best resource (but you knew that already) and that alot of the things \ issues about a RRC is actually pretty simple.

Thanks to all, I took the kids for the first ride in the hills today They all said "this is way cool Dad" I also had heaps of fun.

Still smilelin and got the spanners ready !!!

Kindest of regards
Greenie

Nice one! I bought a 90 model for my first 4wd - same bar and rear step too. Great truck: Stylish, comfortable and very capable off road as is. Family loves it and we've seen heaps of our beautiful country in it. Still have it and love it.

Three things I've learned:

1. Outside of regular servicing, *preventative* maintenance has been the key - perhaps start with replacing all the hoses, then think seriously about the water pump and radiator.

2. If you're inclined to put the drop of oil into the shaft of the dizzy, ensure you secure the shaft from sliding up as you pull on the rotor button - just yanking it off may well result in hours of joy instead of minutes - there's a few posts on here and it happened to me.

3. Genuine parts can be $$$$ but IMHO are well worth it - they got your truck to very nearly 22 years, trying to save money usually means buying twice and losing time, especially if you use it off road a lot.

Best wishes on many km's of adventure - that's a beautiful Rangie!

Very nice Rangie, and I love the colour. My 2nd 4x4 was a Rangie (1st was Landcruiser, I saw the light) and I still have a soft spot for them.

Also welcome to the forum. A wealth of info and a lot of top people here as well.

Dave.
