First post, so if its in the wrong section or I make a complete hash of it, show some compassion and take the micky gently.....
I do quite a bit of wildlife and countryside photography, the old Honda Accord was not much use for fields,lanes and woods, so my thoughts turned to a 4x4. Not a computer controlled wallet emptier like some of the newer ones.I had previously owned a 2.4 Surf..(the cylinder head did not blow)....but wanted a manual and a 3.0litre. So after a bit of a search I found this old lass, mileage is up at 150,000 ish and she has a small rumble between 50 and 60 mph, but she is ideal for what I want, doesn`t matter too much when thorn trees scratch her old paint nor if I get in full of mud and wet through.So far she has been great, that rumble is a concern though.Greased the prop UJ`s,changed the gear box oil and regreased the outer halfshaft uj`s..........anyone any idea as to what it may be?

...Anyway,took old rad off,simple job really,and got it recored at the local rad place.Not lost a drop of water since.Oil level has not changed since I changed it when I got the car.The rumble is still there,though nowhere near as bad,a job for the spring. She has road tyres on so is not too good off road,though I have not got stuck yet,been close,but never stuck.I`ll run the road tyres over the summer and get some 50/50`s for the winter.
