It won't be the usage causing high fuel consumption (my 4BD1T puts out more power and torque, I use it all), it's the poor efficiency of an old IDI engine.

Sold:)

Well, picked it up, body is rougher than I hoped:angel:, but that was me, no fault of Wills:), great to deal with;)

Runs like a clock, Quieter than both my other 4BD1s:confused::eek:

PTO winch, maxi rear, LT95, factory LR bellhousing, not adaptor plate, reg till september next year, No RWC of course, I'll sort that, On board air

All for a large sum of.........$3200:cool:

I take it you didn;t read the whole thread?:p

Wish him luck with the chev, sounds like its all good, chev truck box to LT230:cool:

Sorry, didn;t catch your edit in my quote, it ends practically where you can see it, just towards the scuttle panel

Ah Pics:D I wondered if was a Ph 1 or Ph2. Has P1 Eleco been revamped:eek:
Looks good for its age. Has aircon as well. That 4BD1 looks like its ment to be there. It would pull well with the trolley tires on:twisted:
So what are the plans for it?
