Newbie from Plymouth - 2.4TD 1992

[catweazle]

Hi,

Just joined today as we collect our first ever Surf tomorrow.

My wife has been hassling me for a vehicle suitable for towing a horse box and, not being of the "Disco" crowd, I wanted something different and exciting to drive within my limited budget. After various test drives of different machines, we decided to go for the Surf and then it was just a case of waiting for the right one at the right price.

So tomorrow we go to collect a 2.4TD 1992 (imported 2005), 142K KM. It had a new head in 2006, so hopefully should all be good now.

What other things should we look out for?

Also, we need to get a towbar for it so will be looking in the "Parts for Sale" forum.....

Looking forward to getting involved in the Surf world. :-)

If you need spares at any time try SUPERSURF first as he's up on Mutley

If you want to try some of the local green lanes give me a shout

[stormforce]

hi and welcome.
If you want some good off roading then keep an eye out in the off roading section as supersurf comes down here a fair bit to play in the mud and a good day out

welcome mate,
will be going to baldhu hopefully on sunday the 15th february if you want to see what the truck is capable of mate,
i would suggest that if you are intending to use the truck for towing get a switch installed to activate the electric fan at the front as the surfs do tend to get a little warm when towing,
will save you boiling her over,
i also have an abundance of spares if you need anything,
as kevin said im in mutley plain behind dameralls the bike shop,
pop in next time your passing and have a coffee,
