There's been a few 3.0 litre engines go down, and the 3rd gen has the same heart as a KZN130.

hey i had that covered, what was wrong with my fix, huh? well?





Nice one Dave, still happy with it then Little bit o research to find out the fixes for them two things and sorted, looks like a great truck for the money to me. And if i can find one at that price or a bit less in about a years time i'll be more than tempted.

The head on mine was fubar too and was replaced b4 i bought the 3rd gen only thing is they replaced the lot but put back on the crappy seal which was hard , and i had leak which i posted about on here had it fixed and put on for £50 inc parts job done.

Looks good Dave, Whats the suspension? pro comp? or Iron man maybe?
Whats the ride like?
Me and a mate are building a winch comp motor for punch challenges, so I'll be keeping the Surf to use for towing and camping and of course RTTS

[joker??]

Noice wagon sir. Love the colour too

[MrE]

The only grease points I could find was on the prop shafts.

No, to heavy looking for either Zook SJ or Jimny

Big Country?? sounds American! was asking as I want to get some new rear shocks. the springs are fine but it does bounce about on the rear
